Fun Times in the Poconos

April 15, 2014December 28, 2024Kristian Beverly8 Comments

My last high school Easter Vacation started last Wednesday. My self and my friend Samantha opted out of going on the school trip, so we ended up in the Poconos with my mom, sister, my sister’s friend, two cats and a rabbit. We are staying at the same place as we did in October.

We arrived yesterday, got settled and went to sleep.

Today we went exploring and had a photoshoot at the nearby lake and rapids.

Samantha and I both like horses, so trail riding in the Poconos is a must.
So we looked up a couple of places, and stopped in at the closest ones.

Paradise Riding Stable had a pen with three fuzzy,adorable, attention seeking cuties.

One of the horses there.

The next place was Pocono Manor Stables. They had some pretty horses.

Cutting Down On The Numbers

I have a bad habit. It starts with an image in my head. Then the image forms into a model. Then I use power tools, a heat gun, super glue, and wire to make my dream a semi-reality. Then the model sits on the self after the inspiration wanes.
Yes, after my bad habit of buying tons of books that I will most likely never get the time to read, I love to start models. It’s just so much fun to hack a model apart.
But I need to finish something.
So here they are. A line of customs that have started to be finished or prepped. Hopefully one day I have more finished customs that not!

When Tack Making Fails…..

Try try again!
I’ve been fighting with making an english saddle. I got to the point to where I didn’t want to waste any more supplies or crush my ego.
So I made a bridle for my Phoenix. I sliced my lace to be much thinner than usual. I’m not sure if I will continue this practice with other bridles. I feel like it’s so flimsy. But I *pretty much* finished a project(just needs keepers) and I feel like my ego’s back!

My very non-horsey week

Between homework and regular arts stuff, my week with model horses was very limited.
For a field trip, the AP and Pre-AP Art students went to Messiah College to have a critique of some of our artwork and check out the classes. Sorry about the cell phone pictures throughout the post!
The sculpting area was awesome. Here’s a part of it.

Some of the college artwork in the room.

The gang.

The idea was thought up during the ACSI Competition during a seminar a couple of weeks ago. One of the art professors gave the idea for the AP and Pre AP students to visit for a half day. I showed my saddle for the competition. It received an excellant.
