New Mounts on the yard

Oh my I didn't realise I had been away so long.  Where does the time go.  I am sorry for the long absents.  I have been really busy with crafting.  Here are my latest makes.
First up is Romeo the Arab gelding.  He is worked to 1/12th scale.  Measureing 6 inches tall, well just over.

He is a fantastic show horse with no baggage.  He loves to please.  He is very green, but making great progress.  

Next up is the cheeky Rupert.  He measures 5 inches tall and also worked to 1/12th scale.  I have made him with a hogged mane so he is already for the show ring.

Rupert is a very lively,  He is full of fun.  He needs a very strong hand to ride and turn out.  But he is a lovely Cob.

Hope not to be gone for so long next time. 

William

Next new make, well a couple of weeks ago.  This is William.  I have used calico fabric for this model which I have painted and sanded, then repainted which gives a lovely smooth finish.  He is worked to 1/12th scale so measures around 6 1/2 inches tall

William is a lovely horse to own.  He has a very calm nature.  He is forward going but only when you want him to be.  He is fantastic in the school and out on hacks.  His dressage is coming along leaps and bounds.  He has an excellent stable manner.  This type of horse is very hard to find, 1 in a million we would say.

Sienna

My latest make, well not that recent, about three weeks ago.  Just never seem to have the time to take photos.  I have worked this little mare out of faux suede.  She is a pony so only measures around 5 1/2 inches tall, still worked to 1/12th scale.  

Sienna is a very nervous little mare.  Also she likes to eat her bedding.  Whilst hacking she likes to have company.  We have tried to show her in hand but she will not stand still, hates strangers.  So all in all this little mare would like a quite life of company hacks with a strong rider.

  

Winston

I am totally hooked on these dogs at the moment.  This little chap is my latest make.  He stands just under 5 1/2 inches tall, made from corridale wool.  I I have two horse coming up.  Will post over the weekend, hopefully.

Breeze's face

Forgot to show you guys Breeze's face.  Thank you to Elli for pointing this out.  Here's his sweet little face.

Something a bit different.

Fancied a little change and needle felted this Border Collie.  He is called Breeze, I have made him 1/9th scale.  He is made from Merino wool with English glass eyes in topaz colour.  He loves being down on the farm.  Not very good round horse because he keeps trying to round them up. 

Update on Willow

Here is an updated photo of Willow one of my 1/9th scale faux suede models with his new mane and tail, add by his new owner Kim.  I think he looks tons better, good job Kim.  Kim is looking to show Willow so watch this space to find out how he gets on.  Good luck.
