Weekend Finds

Kristian BeverlyLeave a comment

This morning my mom and I ventured to the weekly Sunday flea market near us. It’s been a while since we’ve gone so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I usually look for books because I can locate cool editions or out of print ones. Instead of finding obscure books I found a ton of Breyers instead.  I have a love/hate relationship with finding Breyers because some believe as long as it has the Breyer stamp it’s worth a million dollars. No matter if the model has three legs or if it’s covered in bird poop.
Today however I scored all of these models for 4$.


I was excited about the stablemates since they’ll become bodies. I couldn’t leave this guy though. Beaten up he is, but I’ll find something to use him for!

A Horse Filled Saturday

Last week I was asked if I would be interested in helping at a pony ride in Middletown. I said yes, so that’s what I did this morning. The pony ride was one of many activities offered to kids who brought their report cards with them. The big draw was the giving away of mountain bikes, but kids still meandered over to ride one of the two horses brought. I was in charge of the cute pony named Sweet Pea The other horse was a QH named Dolly. It was the first time for some of the kids to sit on a horse so Sweet Pea did a great job being gentle.

After the pony ride I rode back with the rest of the group and we saddled up other horses and went on a trail ride. The farm has nice trails and it was beautiful out today. I rode a QH mare named Lady.  We had a few moments of can we not have a bucking fit right this second, but other than that she was a good mount.

Belated Father's Day

The person in my life who started my interest in photography was my mom. The past weekend she’s been going through her tubs of photos and attempting to organize them. Some are from her college years but a huge amount are from my sister and I growing up. It’s been fun going back and seeing things.

I have no idea where I’m looking but A+ for effort. 

Sprinkled throughout the pictures I’ve found plenty of me with a horse or on horses.
Since Sunday was Father’s Day here’s one with my dad, sister (the one on the pony), and me plus a pony. We were in Hilton Head, South Carolina. 
Happy belated Father’s Day!


End of School

The last class of the semester was on Friday. I have two finals next week, but I’m pretty much done for the year. Which means I can have more time to hang at the barn!
So I spent Friday and Saturday at the barn.  Traveler is the Appaloosa and my favorite horse at the barn.

So I rode him on Saturday and Riley was around to take some pictures. 
Afterwards I took pictures.
On the model horse front, I finished an english hackamore. It’s the first one I’ve tried to do, and it was finished earlier in the month. I just finally got pictures of it on a model!
