2000-Present Customs

I havn't been getting as many customs done lately because of the amount of time taken up by making tack and taking care of the real horse I lease, but the ones I have done just keep getting better!

#23 - Alleluia Jubilee - finished 5/2000

She's a beatiful black/seal bay with light black dapples. She's the Breyer Classic Ginger mold with a resculpted braided mane and tail and a straidened face. Jubilee is a Dutch Warmblood who needs me to make her some classic english tack! She shows pretty well and has NAN'd twice for NAN '02, also receiving a Reserve Sporthorse Championship!


#25 - Frosted - finished 6-14-00

A customized Peter Stone Ideal Stock Horse. This guy is hot - I used a sponge swiping technique I found to do his shading that turned out very cool. He's so cool! CLICK ON HIM to go to his page, where you can see many more pictures of him, his detailing, and how he was customized!


Unumbered - finished in 2000

I did not number it because I did not paint it and it's only a simple CM. This is the new SM running TB that I customized for somebody to have painted by someone else, because she could find no other people willing to do the detail work she wanted on a SM. I sanded the seams, moved her hind right hoof down and resculpted it so it's flat on the ground, gave her a browband, short bridlepath, added a little more to the beginning of the mane, and refined the face with sanding it down smaller and resculpting.


#26 - Boomerang - finished 10-2000
This guy it cuuuuute! He's a beautiful grulla paint. He's had some customization done: he is now a colt, softened the joints, and straitened the legs. Layer after layer of watery white paint means his white markings could not be any smoother and are perfectly opaque - not a hint of the grulla color underneath.

This baby has NAN'd THREE times! He has also won Reserve CM Stock Foal.


#27 - Bruno - finished 11-13-2000
This guy is totally cute, too! He's was customized by EQUIIS and painted by me. She gave him a little head tuck and a new mane a tail. I bought him from her sales list primed and ready to go! I painted him a dark dappled liver chestnut using reference photos of an Italian Draft horse (which is also the breed I made him). His shading and dappling are really beautiful, but not the most evident in the photos! I also used many layers to make painted hairing on the light shading of his feet so it looks like feathers - they even roll onto his heels!

He shows pretty well, and has NAN'd once for NAN '02!


#28 - Autumn Breeze - finished in September 2001

Customized The Hobby Horse News Special Run "Legacy" in the Peter Stone Ideal Stock Horse mold. Etched by Judy Miller, painted by me. According to my wishes, Judy Miller etched the body but did not paint anything so I could do it. The model came back to me without her mane, eyes, nose, and tail done. I lightly painted white over the white markings, mapping the edges, and shaded the nose pink and added the infamous appy mottling to the nose, eyes, and heel bulbs.


(This is a close up of the etching on her body)

This has got to be the most realistic picture of a model horse I have every seen or taken!

For the mane and tail, I first painted them in multicolor strands of hair that matched the body shading, then etched over it all. The hooves on white legs I painted striped natural, and the dark leg hooves a dark striped color. I absolutely LOVE the way the hooves turned out - it has got to be my BEST hoof job ever! I gave her brown eyes with that white/pink appy scelera showing around the edges. I tried to add more scelera to the front to make it look like she's looked more to the side or back. I LOVE her eyes, they really give her the appy look and bring her to life!


#32 - Jalik - finished in August 2002

His name is a Middle Eastern Cucumber Soup. (I just like how it sounds)

This is the Micro Mini Rearing Arabian customized to a rose dapple grey. Click on his picture for more pictures and information about him!
