Harry Potter World

Ever since I found out that Universal was creating the World of Harry Potter, I’ve wanted to go. So here are the pictures!

Hogwarts

I know, another Hogwarts picture. But the design and everything was soooo perfect!
Well, that’s it for now. If by some chance I do locate my cruise pictures, I’ll post some. But to make this a little model horse-y, who’s coming to NAN? I won’t be showing, but since I live in Harrisburg, Nan will be in my backyard (Literally. It’s about 5-10 minutes from me).

The Trip

The trip was alot of fun! My mom, sister, aunt and cousin went. For the cruise, we went to Belize, Cozumel, and Costa Maya. And there was a celeb guest on it. Stevie Wonder! Sadly I had already gone back to the room, and by the time I made it to the place where Stevie Wonder was, he had already been ushered away…so my sister was the only one in my family to see him. My sister and I did go horseback riding in Belize. Instead of western saddles, I rode in a Mexican type saddle and my sister rode in an Australian Saddle.Sadly I can’t seem to locate those pictures.
Then we stayed a week in Orlando and went to Universal. There were soooo many cool things to see at Universal and Island of Adventure…so be ready for a photo overload!

Well…since this post has gotten pretty long, I’ll wait until tomorrow to post the Harry Potter World and other Island of Adventure pictures. Also, feel free to use my pictures. Just remember to give me credit.

M.I.A

Sorry about being M.I.A recently!
But I’m done with school for the year. The last couple of weeks have been hectic with getting homework done and studying for finals. But it’s done and finished.
So now I have the summer to look forward to making, and enjoying model horse stuff.

But alas, I am about to leave you all again! I’ll be on a cruise for a week and a week in Orlando. Generally they look down upon you heaving a load of drills, knives, and other dangerous tools, so no models for a week. Also, since I’ll be in the middle of the ocean, there will not be any new blog posts for seven days. The fish are not swimming wifi. Then, afterwards, I’m staying in Orlando, so I’ll still be apart from the studio and model horses. But we’re going to Universal Studios, which is home to the Harry Potter world! Yay!
Since summer’s close for anyone who’s in school, good luck with finals if you have them. And for everyone else, have fun!

Getting Ready For Breyerfest-Making Customs With Performance In Mind-PT 3

Here is the final installment of Making Customs With Performance In Mind. It’ll tie up the loose ends of the last two.
Customs with Dolls and Tack

When making your model, remember that if you want to use dolls that you need to remember the off limits box.  Remember what a person looks like on a horse. Remember where the saddle and saddle pad will be. Try not to have the mane flowing in that direction or in that section. Remember also where the reins will go. Imagine an imaginary person on top of your model if you think you may want a doll used.

If you do not want to use a doll, but decide on your model being a harness horse, be sure to remember where the harness will go. If your harness will have a bearing rein or a crupper, take that in account to how you do your model. Don’t have a wild mane when you will have to find a way to snake a bearing rein through. If you want a crupper, don’t have a tail that won’t allow your horse to have one on that looks natural. Granted, I have models where the crupper can no fit underneath the tail. I had to cut the crupper then.

From Here

Well that’s the end of the Performance Customs, next comes the fun customs and what to remember when making them!
