Peter Stones

So, as much as I love Breyer horses, I really covet Peter Stones. The thing is, I don't have any of them. But I like to search the websites looking for some that maybe, one day, I can have the money to buy. Here are some of my favorites.

They have the Stone horse site under construction http://www.stonehorses.com/, so the company put up a temporary site http://www.stoneponys.com/ to look at the beautiful models.

New Releases


Declaration of War-Bay roan ISH  $225.00

Infamy-Morgan- $289.99

Bristol Bulldog-Grey WE- $119.99

2014 Stone Horse line


Spumoni-2014 Pebbles scale- $49.99


Orange Saffron-2014 Morgan-$79.99


Toasted Coconut-2014 WE- 59.99

My favorite out of all of them is probably the Declaration of War horse. I don't really like the Arabian Stones...they have some wonky heads....or so it seems like in all of the pictures. But, it might be just me. I actually haven't seen one in "real" life.

P.S. Pacific Pintos (A miniature horse breeder) has one of her mares due tonight. What is better is that she has Mare Stare, a live camera from the barn so that you can see everything! So, you might see the mare give birth! I just thought that would be cool for you all. : )

Frigid Weather

Today is one of those days when it is just too cold. The frost is on the tress, snow on the ground, bunnies hiding in their little tunnels with fur all puffed up. Birds sit on tree branches and watch me walk by. It is just complete...
Silence. 

Then all quietness breaks with a loud whinny coming from the barn. I instinctively know what that sound means. It is a polite way of saying:  "I want my food!!" But I like to think of it as a sweet greeting. "Ah, Half Pint, you little cutie."

Anyway, I have been busy with customizing yet another Breyer horse. I am 95% done, and I hope to have the horse out soon. I have had that foal for six months!! I gave him a unicorn horn, and a new tail. He is also complete with mapping on his legs! It is a precious looking horse. While I don't collect decorators, I don't think I would mind having the little guy on my shelf next to my other Classic foals.

Just look at that little tail!!
Anyway, I hope to post tomorrow.... busy with Superbowl preparations. If all goes well, I will be dressing the minis up in Bronco colors! Stay tuned!

Therapy Horses of Gentle Carousel

My first post of this blog being made public!
Thanks for looking everybody, and I hope that you enjoy my blog!!!
I would especially like to thank Mrs. Jennifer and Ms. Brenda for becoming my first followers!

So, today I was going to do a post on the special models at Breyerfest, but I came across The Gentle Carousel horses (who own Magic and Hamlet, two mini's Breyer just did portraits of) and I fell right in love. As the proud owner of two miniature horses myself, I couldn't help but posting about them today. That special Breyer post will just have to wait. I have always thought that therapy would be a good hobby for my mini's, but this website just sealed the deal.

Here is the link to the website, if you want to check it out: http://www.horse-therapy.org.

***Note: all pictures are taken off of the Gentle Carousel Therapy website.****
Here are some of the mini's they use for therapy.


Magic


Hamlet


Silver Sovereign


Sweetheart

How adorable!!!! I think one day, down the road, I will train either both or just one of my mini's to be therapy horses. And who knows, maybe ten years from now, I can start an organization of therapy minis.

My ten year old miniature horse, Rosie.

Chinese Year of the Horse~Espirit mold. 


Lets go riding English set. I personally do not like this horse. He is a older mold, and is therefore not very conformation savvy.


..See what I mean??


Lets Go Riding~Western Set. I don't mind this horse as much...but I (personally) wouldn't select him to be in my collection.

..But of course, many Breyer horses I have said "no" to online have just swept me off my feet when I see them in stores!!

I will (hopefully) see you all very soon!
