I finally entered my horses in a photo show today. I haven't entered in a show for almost a year! I wish that the Yahoo groups would come back. I spend a lot of time on my pics and it is really fun being able to show them. I mean, there is my group, which I could show in if I asked members to judge, but I don't think that I will during the first year. I want to get a good group of showers together before I ask if they want to judge. Plus it creates problems when other people judge because their standards are different then mine, which create variety and gives different horses different places, but some people really don't like that. They tend to leave groups that are run like that. I have to finish judging the April show, I am getting late on
Tomorrow is my Friday, which makes me very happy. But I'm not going to get a ton of time to work on stuff. Which really sucks. I start working for my trainer again starting tomorrow. I will be doing to work off lessons so that I can safe some money for the horse show this summer. It's going to be hard at first, since I am so out of shape, but I am hoping the in a couple weeks I will be in better shape. This "weekend" I will be spending a day planting some new plants with me mom. We went and bought 5 new lily plants. They are my favorite and I have wanted to get more varieties, but we just don't have the space for them. Well we were looking at some of the plants on one side of the house and decided that they look "old" and needed to be replaced. So we are putting 3 different kinds of lilies in the area and we are going to put the other 2 in a different area. That means that I will have 7 different kinds! All different colors, I will be posting pics when they start blooming because they are really cool colors. I'm hoping that the other day I can finish or get close to finishing the horses that I started a while ago. I really want to finish sculpting and get primer on them so I can paint them. I can't wait to paint them, I have the perfect patterns picked out for both of them.

A couple weeks ago, I started working on a Para Dressage horse. I wantted to lower the head and neck and give it a new tail. And after many days of trying to scuplt a new tail, neck and ears, I have decided to start over and try something different. I took a horse that I had and dremeled out some of the neck and the area behind the check. Then I used heat to move the neck down and the head in. I also removed and reattached the hind leg so he is standing a little closer to square. When I got everything moved, I instantly fell in love with the horse. I think he looks very work like and would look great as an Appaloosa. So I started another one. I am going to paint this horse as well and maybe sell it. I have to start listing some of the horses that I have been working on. The second horse has his neck lowered a little more and his head is a little more turned in. I will keep working on them and I'm hoping that they will be ready for primer Monday night
Last night I decided to go to a couple horse shows this summer. Dante and I will be going to 1 schooling show, the plan at this show is to jump a couple 3 ft courses to be ready for our second show, which will be a rated hunter show. We will be jumping in a different division this year, we (my trainer and I) decided that it would be a good time to do that. The fences will be 2ft 9inches, which is only 3 inches higher then last years division, but still, it's a big step for me and Dante. I never would have thought that we would be jumping this high at a rated horse show and that we could go higher in the future. I'm so excited!!!
I am so glad that it's my weekend. I finally get to go visit some really good friends. I haven't seen them for a couple weeks, and I really miss seeing them! I also started another horse. It's another WEG Quarter Horse. I decided to try leaving the original neck on and just move the head and neck. I think it has turned out really well so far. I moved the back leg again, but this time I left the tail. I think he looks more like a working Quarter Horse. I redid the other WEG Quarter Horse. That horse didn't have any ears and I tried to make them myselk. But I quickly realized that I really suck at making ears. I did them 3 times and they looked horrible all 3 times.I am thinking that I might be able to make ears, it might take me a little while though.
I'm really liking this other horse though. I am thinking about keeping him and putting him into my string. I want to paint him to a black leopard appaloosa. I think that would look really cute. |
