Today’s post can be summed up with this quote: A picture is worth a thousand words.
You never know what’s going to happen at the barn lol.
Sea To Bay Model Horse Show
I didn’t go to the Sea To Bay Model Horse Show this past weekend, but Lizzie Mace did and she sent me pictures to share. Thanks Lizzie!
In OF Western, Lizzie showed her new Peter Stone. She made her props and used a saddle and bridle I’d made.

Nice job Lizzie! She also told me that she’s taking prop commissions (her email is racingstripes97@yahoo.com)
NaMoPaiMo Party
A few weeks ago I put out a post seeing if anyone would be interested in a NaMoPaiMo party at my house. Local hobbyists responded and the Namopaimo party was born.
My neighbor caught wind of it and offered to cook us dinner and dessert (lasgna, chicken parm, and a delicious butter cake with pineapple icing). The night before my mom and I made room for a new worktable.
And then Saturday was the painting day. In total there was five of us: Zoe Hatgi of Hatgi Horse Stuff, Susan Bensema Young of Timaru Star II, Maddie Klein, and Lizzie Mace.
Before Maddie and Lizzie arrived Susan, Zoe and I did a bit of playing with tack.
Susan brought a bit of her tack museum. This time she had a Hanna Bear, Erin Corbet
Evelyn Munday
and her Elk saddle.
Zoe is also a tack maker so she brought some of her english saddles.
I would have been easy to spend the whole time playing with tack. We realized that we needed to have a tack making day during April (National Tack Making Month) and started painting.
I was a wet and dreary Saturday. It would have halted spraying if I hadn’t bought this spray tent from Woodcraft (they have them on sale until the end of Feb!).
My model for the month is this. He’s a custom Harley D Zip I remade. He has a resulted mane and a lower headset. He’s supposed to some sort of palomino with white markings being determined by what needs covered up. 🙂
Everyone had their own method to paint their pony. I initially used oils, wiped if off, went to airbrush and then moved to pastels.
Zoe slept over and Lizzy stayed late, so after running out of matte spray we piled into my car to make it to Michaels before they closed. We painted for the rest of the night.
This was so much fun to do. Thanks for coming you guys!
