One or 2 minis or foals of any size I can take on, since of the 3 I have at home 2 are in the final stages and I have a good start on the third who is a solid color. Prices and info same as this post:

If you have something non mini we can discuss as well.

State of the Studio

After spending the better part of yesterday in the studio instead of going to the barn (in stormy weather), frankly the state is chaos. Good news is I got Jezebel (commission piece) primed and base coatred so she is ready to start now, bad news is I got tired of doing white markings and found a few other projects to work on as well:)

On the Diva front, after her chiro visit thurs night she wasnt cinchy today BUT she highly protested left lead cantering, not good! We have a show in 2 weeks!

Horse chiro visit

So Diva (that wild crazy Ayrab of mine (See above!)) saw a chiropractor for the first time in the 5 years Ive had her (never was really big on them, plus the cost). I doubt she saw one before I owned her either. Apparently her lower back and hips were a mess! He worked on her a long time. She took it well tho, stood nicely for the most part. Well, until he wanted to me do one of the homework things he assigned us, so he took the lead. Apparently she will walk all over anyone else but me! Something else I need to work on with her eh, or maybe it was just him, who knows. So we will see what the outcome is of this over the next couple weeks. Such an expensive spring it has been, and I still need to deal with all of my dogs shots! I did learn how to give her shots myself, that was scary for me! I dont much like doing it but I will to save money. Then I am going to learn how to do the same with Toby. So I put a few more things up on sales pages and I am still working away on the commissions here. I should have some updates this weekend.

Chugging along

Working when I can and trying to get my NAN entry done. I'm getting down to the wire and close to my budget cut off point. Trying to decide which of the many models left are good enough to go. I may end up going a little over! But its going to be a slow NAN for me this year I think, well slow for me. But not showing performance and judging that day instead really helped the ole budget! I will miss it though!


So updates:

Chestnut Arab guy is coming along, he will probably stay in my collection, at least for a while. He is going to have lots of chrome.

Palomino (tobiano to be) doodlebug commission is coming along ok now, I was struggling with him a lot but I think I am on track now. (except all his pix came out blurry!)

NSH commission is getting her white done. She has more shading than it looks like here but I'm still struggling with lighting on dark models.
