Little quirks and important things to Know About Performance

So here’s a little funny tips blurb I came up with. Just finished packing for Breyerfest since we’re leaving tomorrow, so hopefully everyone has a safe trip, and hope to see you there!
1) Western pleasure horse bridles do not have nose bands, so chop off those nose bands from Breyer Western Bridles
2) Arabian horses in arena costume do not trot
3) Sticky wax is a great gift as long as you don’t make your horse look like it has rabies
4) Zippo Pine Bar is jogging, not walking
5) Dolls with the hard plastic boots will look like beginners due to their limited amount of mobility to push those heels dowwwn.
6) Beware of packing your models in any type of packing material that sticks to them. It makes said model look like a weird bumpy mummy.
7) Always make sure you have extra tags at a show so if your model decides it wants to be rogue, you can rope it  back in.
8) Bring extra wrapping material just in case you come home with extras.
9) People have a habit of bringing awesomely cool models to shows, so make sure you can bring a camera so you can drool over pictures later.
10) Research, research, and research even more….

Model Horse Fun Day!

So today I went over to my friend’s house, Madison Pollihan of Gyrfalcon Studios, for a model horse fun day. It started out early, and we both did completely different things.
Maddi was finishing up her custom,

while I was fixing another. The pony now has textured hair on some of him. I need to finish the bottom of his legs.  (Notice the ‘him’ part? Yup, the pony has decided on a gender. It’s a boy!)

We both took up a side of the table.

My side. It’s always fun to browse Facebook whenever you’re doing model horses, isn’t it?

Maddi and I also did a trade. I got a Misty.  Misty didn’t stay in one piece though, but that’s for another day.

We also had a little bit too much fun with a doll I brought. Zombie girl–I can’t spell nor pronounce the name Maddi gave her. :)

Lovely isn’t she?
Well that’s the end of the Model horse day. Any one else in PA wanna do one sometimes?
