The last few days have been more then busy for me. Between getting ready for the Spring Semester at school, working at the barn and getting Dante back into shape for the summer, I haven't really had time to sit down! But as usual, things have been happening in the model horse world too.
In my last post, I mentioned a group that is starting a series of small shows in my area. Which is super exciting since there hasn't been a show in this state since 2008. I contacted the host of the potential first show and mentioned that I would be interested in showing, if there was space. She emailed me a couple days ago and said that I was in! I will be attending an all halter show in March. I will be bringing almost 25 horses of my own to the show. I am so excited for this show. The next show after this first one will be an all performance show, which I will be going to. It will be my first time showing performance and I will only be able to bring one horse since I only have one set of english and one western set. So I have started the rather difficult task of deciding which horse. I have been going back and forth between havin 1 horse do everything, or 2 horses. 1 horse in Western and 1 horse in english. Which would be nice but, I am having a hard time even choosing 1 horse!
So this morning I decided that I was going to try and make a horse. I played around with several horses all day, then around 6pm, I thought of my perfect horse. I took the WEG Driving horse, gave him a new tail and lowered his head and neck. He is still a WIP, but he is really coming along. I am going to finish his neck tomorrow and give him a mane depending on what I think he will work the best in, english or western. I haven't decided what color he is going to be, but I have already decided that he is going to have 4 high white socks and a little white on his face. Let me know what you think of him!
