Fridays Ride

 On Friday I had my lesson, like every Friday, but this time I got the option to either ride Phantom under saddle or ride Dyno bareback. It was a really hard decision! But I can never resist a bareback lesson so Dyno it was! 



It was a good bit of trotting but mostly walking because it was HOT! Like ‘it’s too hot to be outside let alone ride’ hot. 


Dyno glaring from under his hoggles!
Yes, I said hoggles! That’s what we call them at Capstone! Horse Goggles =Hoggles. Get it?

Anyway…

I also cantered him. It was my first time doing it bareback on him. Once he was cantering it wasn’t bad, it was just getting him to canter and keeping him going which was almost impossible. Who knew cantering him bareback could be so much harder than with a saddle! But then again, it was much too hot to do anything correctly!

    Are his goggles meant to keep flies off of his eyes?! They look so cute on him!

Recent Customs

 I’ve been working on quite a few customs over the past couple months. I’ve done lots of new things, my first rabicano and my first traditional horse. The traditional is definitely my best custom to date!  I did a fleabitten grey because I am good at those😂 I am very happy with how he turned out! I had planned from the beginning to sell him when he was done, but I was definitely tempted to keep him! I tried a new technique to make them more realistic.  And the eyes… well, I think I finally get those down pat!!! I sold him as planned and he went to a home where he is going to be shown☺️. In fact, she put him in a show a few weekends ago and he placed fourth out of over a dozen horses!  (Her picture used with permission) Then I painted a mini whinny standardbred (who is for sale for $20 if anyone is interested) This beautiful girl I was actually painting for my sister, but I fell in love with her and kept her👀 (don’t worry, I’m making her another horse🤣) Then I trie...

 Sorry for not posting for so long! I’ve been so busy! I have 4 commissions to finish, 10 halters to make, 3 mini whinny boxes, two sets of boots, one show halter, a leather halter, a shipping halter, just to name a few! And that’s not even counting the orders from my Etsy store 😂  So… yeah, I have lots of model horse stuff to do!  Here are the models I’ve finished: This mini whinny family, the foal is so cute!!! And this dappled grey stablemate, who has since sold And I don’t think I’ve posted this guy yet, he’s a mini whinny I painted a few months ago. Still for sale as of now! So let me know if you want him!  And here is a few of my projects…. I also started making mini whinny boxes!!! They are super fun (but also time-consuming) to make!  Then I made this Arabian halter for fun… it needs work, but is much better than the first one I made! I also spent way too long making this bridle😂 it is very detailed and is for sale as well!  And, my favorite thing...

 Hi guys!!! Sorry for not posting for so long!! I was traveling a LOT this summer 😅. One of the places I went was to Vermont to visit family and to go to the fair that is there every year. I have a friend who works at the Morgan Horse Farm up there(if you’ve been reading this blog long enough you’ll probably remember her taking me there to cuddle some foals ☺️)   She also works for a Clydesdale farm who were competing at the fair. I got to help out get them ready to show! It was awesome seeing everything that goes on behind the scenes! If you guys are interested, I can make a post about it. But anyway…. The main reason I’m posting; to show off my Breyerfest and post Breyerfest horses!  First, Athenian Lady, the celebration horse. (I don’t have official pictures of these guys yet,[that’s how you know in busy lol] so ignore the bad pics! Here she is with the rest of my celebration horses. I absolutely love her coloring 💕 Then the SR mare and foal They are probably my favo...
