Pretty New Pony!

The other day I got a new resin via trade. He’s a stock breed gelding cast by Seunta and named Poco. He is traditional scale and I really like him.

His other side.

I don’t currently have ideas for what color I want him to eventually be (I should look up finish work artist who trade!). I really like how he looks in Western tack (belongs to Lizzie Mace). I tried my English saddle for him, but none of my bridles fit him. Neither did my girths!

Model Horse Day

Kristian Beverly12 Comments

Madison Pollihan of Gryfalcon Studios and I had a model horse day yesterday. We both donate to The Feather Fund, so that’s what we worked on. This is the first time that I can say my donations may be in early.
I brought along my airbrush,

and a primed foal.
The Feather Fund model horse auction is held every year during Pony Penning. Portraits of the local ponies are sold to fund the organization. Every year an essay contest is run, and the winning child wins a Chincoteague Pony foal. To read more about how The Feather Fund Started, here’s the link-here.
I airbrushed, while Madison used oils.

Here’s Giant Soul Surfer with tiny Soul Surfer.

Giant Soul Surfer is by Madison. The tiny one was painted by me.
Here’s Suede, who was also a 2014 buyback. 
Madison’s cat, Frisky, watched our painting. It was a ton of fun!

Triple Crown!

37 years ago, Affirmed claimed the Triple Crown and Alydar came in second for the third time. When Affirmed won, I wasn’t born. In my mother’s words, “You weren’t even a thought, lemme tell ya.”

The race was wonderful and American Pharoah is a great champion. American Pharoah is my first Triple Crown winner, and what a race!
(Hopefully we won’t have to wait another 37 years for another Triple Crown Champion)
