Advent Model Horse Photo Challenge: Day 29

 

Day 29 - Buckskin

Jasmine - Buckskin Mustang Filly - OF Breyer - Personal Herd Member

I literally only have two solid colored Buckskins - and that's not including Lakota, who also has Non-Dun Type 1 (nd1)! I had already posted Croi Damhse, so it seemed ideal to have Jasmine for this installment.

Jasmine is from a 5 foal gift set from 2000-01, which I had received for Christmas from my aunt (who grew up collecting Breyers!) in 2002. I recently touched up her visible wear spots, so that I could photo show her.

Why just Mustang? Still haven't figured out exactly which herd her father belongs to.

Stay tuned for the next installment!

Advent Model Horse Photo Challenge

 

So, fellow blogger and model horse artist, Feldman Studio, have been posting this photo challenge to her FB studio page this month. This kind of challenges have been in the model horse hobby for quite a long time (if anyone knows for exactly how long, please comment on this post)....and I'm pretty sure the first time I saw the first version was on Jennifer Buxton's Braymere Custom Saddlery Blog.

So,

another so,

to get back into consistently updating the blog, I decided to take up this challenge. . . on day 5.

Better late than never!

Day 1 - Palomino

All That Sass - Palomino QH Mare Breyer SM CM by Me - Sale Piece (still available! Contact me if interested!)

All That Sass' original name was I think supposed to be Anita, but when I "flipped" up the end of her tail - she revealed that she has a slightly sassy attitude! She was also my second Palomino I have painted ever, and the first Palomino sales piece I have created!

Day 2 - Peter Stone

Porter - Chestnut TWH Stallion OF Peter Stone RR Ginger Snap - Personal Herd Member (currently looking for a mate - super picky, though)

I got Porter at Sugarfoot Live for $25 because he was slightly damaged - which I was able to touch up and repair. He is my very first Stone Horse. Photographs so well that I don't really need to update his photo show halter picture as often as a whole lot of my other herd members! And because he photographs so well, he places high, too! (Which is like the top 5 placings even in larger photo shows). So super cool! Glad to have him in my herd!

Day 3 - Foal

Or more like Foals!

Strawberry - Palomino Quarab Filly OF Breyer TR Glossy Charity (Yes, you read that right!!)

Chip - Black Foal Coat Araloosa Colt OF Breyer TR Matte Spot

These two are my very first official Breyer herd members in my catalog of my overall herd (Chip is actually number 1 and Strawberry is 2). They were given to me for my 10th birthday by my aunt who also collected Breyers growing up and these two were actually apart of her herd, because my mom remembers getting [Chip] for her. They were also my very first Traditional scale Breyers. I have some Breyers from prior to that year, but I didn't know what they were at the time. I also remember being confused on scale due to already owning a couple of the Empire Grand Champion full scale toy horses which are roughly the same scale as Breyer Classics. So, it was like wondering who their parents were supposed to be when all the adult horses I had at the time were either the same size or smaller. I later found both of their parents at two different times at local antique stores, but that's a story for another time!

Day 4 - Curio Scale

Raja - Chestnut Tobiano/Sabino Gypsy Vanner Colt OF Schleich - Personal Herd Member

Raja is named after Disney's Jasmine's Tiger.

He's also I think my first Schleich....or is it Merlin...I don't know, it was too long ago!

Either way, Schleich and Safari Ltd. are roughly Curio scale and are smaller than the Breyer Little Bits/Paddock Pals models. They are also a little bigger than Breyer's Wind Dancers.

Day 5 - Roan

Ellenora - Strawberry Roan 3/4 QH x 1/4 Arabian Mare OF Breyer CL Western Riding Gift Set - Personal Herd Member (CuChulainn's mate and I'm almost done customizing her long awaited filly!!!)

I got Ellenora because she reminded me of someone's horse at church when I was in maybe Junior High or High School. I never met the horse because she actually had died from colic years prior. But our friend/the horse's owner showed me some pictures, told me about what they did together (barrel racing if I remember correctly), and distinctively told me what color she was: Strawberry Roan.

Nowadays, that term is no longer accepted as genetically correct - especially since it includes a food word. None the less, I still refer to this color as Strawberry Roan because of sentimental value while embracing newish or clarified terms.

Breed.

OK, why the halfish breed stuff.

Well, I'm not a big fan of Quarter Horses....or just bulky Stock horses in general.

So, when I got her, to me, she didn't look full QH due to her finer confirmation. Additionally, Breyer was hosting some photo contests and one had to do with Arabians in performance. Well, I didn't have any full Arabians, so I asked if entering partbreds were OK and they said it was fine. She never placed....probably because she looks more Stock than Part-Arabian, which is something I finalized later. But, yeah, that's why her breeding has Arabian in it!

Stay tuned for the next installment!

Let's just hope that it's a day-by-day and not a multiple days at a time!
