Latest Edition - Santiago Polo Pony

I've been after this guy all year and now they are sold out they are going to become harder and harder to find so I thought I better get on it and get one now!

I've named him 'The Man That Disappeared' (yes I'm still going through the naming all my horses after Kafka novels phase).

He is very nice, subtle dapples on this one which is good, the ones with seriously OTT dapples are just not to my taste. I do like the hogged mane, I have a bit of a thing for hogged manes!

Quick and Simple Tack Commissions

I need to find less words with the letter 'C' in my key is no longer on my keyboard and it's making typing quite hard!!

Anyway had some quick and easy tack to do today which is nice, three rugs and a choke chain for a dog.

I only photographed the ones where I didn't have pictures of that particular variation on the website but there was also a foal rug (blue) and a light horse rug (orange).

But this is a nice Schleich heavy horse rug in red:



You can order them here: http://www.chestnutridge.co.uk/product/Plain_Rug_PTMC244HR

Looks so much better on the website once you have a picture of the actual option!

And secondly was a traditional scale dog choke chain in 'small' size:



A closer up picture:

Again doesn't it look better with a good picture!

The My Little Pony Clan

I have become ridiculously obsessed with Build a Bear My Little Ponies.

I think my husband secretly likes them too as I have only been responsible for the purchase of one of these!

Anyway introducing the whole clan:



Rainbowdash was my first, followed by Princess Celestia, then Zecora, then Luna & Fluttershy and finally Cadence.

How long does it take to make a headcollar?

Well in my case around 3 weeks!

I have so little time to do anything right now that I'm attempting to sneak things in on my breaks. Like this little green headcollar that has been slowly progressing since I started it 3 weeks ago.

At least it is now done and this poor Classic body can go back in the body box before I retrieve it yet again to make more tack for it. Maybe one day I'll actually get around to prepping and repainting him!
