Out Of The Slump

I think I may be out of that hobby slump I talked about. 

I bought a model horse at Dover Saddlery a week ago or so. He is modeled after Picasso, the wild Mustang in Sand Wash Basin, CO. Breyer decided to use the Desatado mold. Breyer did a great job on this model, whom I have affectionately named Midnight Tango or "Peppermint" (after my dad saying "He looks like a peppermint.") He is also super photogenic and has got some great angles I can capture behind my camera lens. 


His markings are very clean and his color is stunning. He does have a little bit of overspray on one side of his head, underneath the chin. However, he is still great to me. 





Midnight Tango gave me the extra boost I needed to stay in the hobby. I have started re-working my pedigree website, Wintergreen Park and added/am adding extra features. Other models are also being added. If you would like to check it out, here is the link. http://wintergreenpark.weebly.com/ Still has a long way to go!

      Thanks! Midnight Tango is probably one of the most photogenic horses I have, besides Collin.

      I used the Collage setting on Picmonkey, a photo editing website. It is great, and most of it (while not all of it) is free.

    He is gorgeous and definitely photogenic! You also did a wonderful job with the collages at the end. How is Ollie doing?

      Ollie is doing very well. Still soft in the halter, but I am going to put him back into a bridle soon. He is still a little resistant on the trail and (like his Appaloosa nature) can get slightly stubborn, but otherwise everything is going great and I am working hard on breaking the stubbornness. I will blog about an update soon. :)
