Ploughing

A couple weeks ago my mum and little brother went to a local ploughing competition. There is some really neat pictures that mum took showing good detailing of the gear the horses use. I thought it would make a great performance setup, I myself would not be able to, but perhaps there is someone out there that could benefit from these.

Unfortunately I didn't manage to go with other commitments I had to do, but the photo's are pretty neat, and some lovely horses too.
























LOVE this horses' eye, doesn't it look so nice and kind!
It appears some have the thing over their back and some don't, I don't know what the ruling is with this if any, but I would prefer it as it holds the chains up a bit not quite so close to the horses' legs and hooves. Just my thoughts though.

Quiet Evening

Had a pretty quiet slow evening, meaning I got a little bored. I killed some time by playing round in photoshop, my latest two got fancy wee edits.

Here's Oberons one

Joy to the World

The ponies are here. My very first resin included!! Oberon by Sarah Rose is absolutely gorgeous,  I love him. After I fix his broken ear I'm thinkiJng bay roan would look lovely on him but we'll see once these others are done and dusted. This boy being the very first resin I've ever seen in the flesh, I am totally amazed by the detail on him, his face and mane especially. If he is anything to go by, these guys (resins) leave Breyer and Stone for dead in regards to detail etc. I'm very keen to get more in the future.

My nekkid Oberon by Sarah Rose
My other newbie is a CM Stone Pebbles ASB, I don't remember who painted it as the deal was done through my Opa in Australia. I'm going to have to find out and send them an email because the shading on him is lovely, I'm very pleased to have it in my collection.

Central Coast Live

My horses did pretty well I thought at Central Coast which was held on April 27. I was pretty pleased with them having two out of three painted by me - Rumour Has It and Bangarang. Hoping they will get to another couple of shows in Australia while they are there then make the trip back home for NZ Live.

Here are their results, along with pictures from the show, thanks Abby for taking the pics and of course, showing them for me.
