My friend, Madison, posted this post today, and I asked her if I could post it here. Madison has her own blog,Gyrfalcon Studio. I’d been trying to think of a way to write this, and Madison wrote it better!

A few days ago, fans of Chincoteague Ponies got word that one of the most popular stallions in the herd, Surfer Dude, had passed. It had been suspected for a while because he didn’t come in during the Spring round up. This stallion has contributed so much to the breed.

To pay tribute to this beautiful guy there is a movement to get him immortalized as a Breyer Horse. Please email Breyer or use their contact form to help express interest in this idea. Collectors have wanted a new Chincoteague Pony for years and it would be amazing if it was Surfer Dude.
To check out more about this amazing breed look up I Love Chincoteague Ponies on Facebook.

Three Saddles

I spent the majority of my week making and finishing saddles.

The first one is for Newsworthy.

The next one was a project I’d started forever ago and found the tooled pieces on my desk.

And the last one I made for myself. It’s Harry Potter themed! Little snitches and stars line the bottom

and the skirts have snitches too!

Today while my mom and I were running erands, we passed RadioShack.
Mom: RadioShack is going out of business, we should stop there.
Me: Yeah, we should.
After stopping at a couple of stores, we were going to pass RadioShack again.
Mom: We should stop at RadioShack
Me: *nods head because new craft things were more interesting*
We stopped at RadioShack, and I found these. I kept telling myself no, but eventually decided not to pass up a good deal and came home with this.
