I was going through some older pictures today and I came across these pictures. These are from a few different display cases in the Idaho Potato Museum. When I took these pictures I was still playing with my models and had no idea about the hobby so I didn't give them much thought. Model No. 50 Adios, Famous Standardbred dark bay, tiny star, black points, two hind socks. Sold 1969-1973. You can see his twin's feet on the other side of him too. Shire With Belgian (Who was probably in there somewhere.) semigloss dapple grey, bald face, pink-grey nose and ears, darker grey mane/tail, no dorsal stripe, dark grey knees and hocks, white feathers. Sold 1982-1983 in the Montgomery Ward Holiday Catalog This gal also had a twin, and I think they may even be a chalkys! Model No. 80 Clydesdale Bay, bald face, black mane/tail, four stockings, no black on legs, red and white bobs, red tail ribbon. Sold 1972-1986. Him and his buddy had excellent shading. Model No. 13 Sheik, Arabian Stallion matte bay, star and stripe, black or charcoal-brown mane/tail, no black on legs, four stockings. Sold 1966-1973. There were six of these guys, every one in excellent to mint condition! Behind him also were some Man O Wars that looked pretty good too. Of Saddles I came across these saddles on the same trip, but a few states to the East but still in the West. :) Fort Cody Trading Post Sadly I don't have any information on these saddles... Except that the upper one had to have belonged to a well to do cowboy. I think the lower one may have been a type of cavalry saddle. I hope these pictures were enjoyed!

I've had these pictures sitting around for a bit so I thought I would share them with ya'll The stirrup with the Tapadero (I think!) is a stirrup from a pony saddle... A close up of some worn out rigging, on the pony saddle. Cute leather flower conchos. Here's a modely one to keep the theme ;) I hope everyone enjoyed the pictures!
-Becky After my first "big" saddle I decided to refine it a little more... Starting with a new tree, I made this one out of wire, air-dry clay, and a pop can, I am pretty happy with how it turned out! I also switched out the blank studs like on the other saddle for "diamond" ones! I added some more detail to the fenders... Complicated the cinch strap a little more... I like it more though, it is fun to do. Then, I put it all together! I snatched Un-Named Valentines bridle - it does look good on him though... ;) Amazingly I even had time to finish painting a portrait horse! Ditto is a Quarter x Percheron cross to he was strong, stocky, and had a very wide girth! (Much bigger than the models!) Since I rode Ditto at Disney on a trail ride, I put his Mickey head hair cut on him! He even has silver horseshoes! Incredibly I was able to finish both projects in one sitting! Thanks to my furry little foot warmer! Hope you liked him! (and the saddle)
Today's post... is on... that's right... Hamlet! Hamlet is a working therapy horse from Gentle Carousel and with his friend Magic and many other teams of therapy horses has visited over 25,000 adults and children each year! Look at that HAIR! See! SEE?! All to soon it was time for him to leave. I really had a great time meeting Hamlet!
Today's post is going to be on the beautiful Drum horse breed, with the very photogenic stallion Mariah's Boon! Boon was the 2012 Breyerfest Celebration Model and was invited as a guest horse to the 2013 Models In The Sun show, a great live show in Ocala Florida. Boon horses are around 17 hands tall and heavily feathered , the mane is also very thick and full. The best quality of this breed is their gentle willing temperament, even as a stallion Boon was wonderful and lowered his head for the younger kids to pet him. Boon horses are also very funny, curious, and entertaining! Outside the clubhouse where the show was being held there was a cement pig statue, which Boon was not sure what to think of! I think if the pig had winked he would have bolted. If you look at his upper lip he also has a mustache!
I hope you enjoyed the pictures. |
