I created this horse starting in 2016 from the Breyer Stablemate G3 Jumping horse with handtools and Aves Apoxy putty. I lengthened and re-positioned her back, sculpted a new head and neck, new ears, new mane, and corrected her knees and hooves. Her paintwork was completed in 2018 using airbrushed acrylics, hand painted acrylics, and my dry earth method to pink her nose. She won a NAN card at her first show in 2018 at the ultra competitive Candyland Live.
Have you ever wanted a special model horse in your vision, perhaps a portrait of your real horse, or in a pose or color you can't find at the store? Then model horse customizing is just for you, and this beginner's video walks you through many of the customizing possibilities and the skills involved in each so you can get started making your own unique model horses from Breyers, Schleichs, CollectAs or other brands available to you. Be sure to check back for more in this series, like common tools you will need.
 The model horse hobby activity seems to have exploded all over the internet as people are home, and many customizing. While I am still working a full-time job, even I have noticed an up-tick in my customizing productivity. I'm looking to enjoy this turn of events and ride the productivity as long as I can, as my summer is looking to be incredibly busy with non-model horse activities and responsibilities. But enough of that. Let's take a look at the projects I've been working on!
