Photo Shoot With Alex

Read more about Ollie here

Last Saturday, my friend Alex and I decided to do a photo shoot. Alex has beautiful horses, and one day I hope to grow Ollie's hair out as long as Ike's (yeah, a girl can dream. lol).

First we took some portrait shots..

Ollie, prick your ears!!!

..and then we went for a trail ride. We both had our Canon camera's, so we each got photos of each other. 

I had Ollie go through some water...

..and stand in the middle of these..tall plants. The name of these things is currently escaping me. 

Lastly, we loped/galloped on a flat part of the Open space...

I BELIEVE I CAN FLYYYYY

"Go Ollie, go!!"

*cue awkward lead change*

..and then I galloped Ollie up a hill. 

I have even more pictures, but those are going to have to wait for the next post. Thank you so much for taking pictures with me, Alex!

Sonsela-Mid States Distributing Model

Hello everyone!! Sorry (how many times will I say that?) that I haven't posted! I have been on vacation in Florida then I started school again. Yay.

On the other hand, I haven't bought many model horses this year. I don't have much room for them left, so I am only choosing the ones I really like and am quite selective about the model quality now.

Until I saw Sonsela.

Yeah.....she did have some flaws, but she was so pretty....forget about the quality control.

Sonsela is a 2015 Mid-States Distributing model. The swishy tail version of the Lady Phase molds, in a beautiful bay appaloosa blanket. She also has a star, small stripe, and socks on three of her legs. 

Next to my long tail Lady Phase version mare, Sheza Autumn Storm. 

Because this is a intricate appy pattern, I knew she would have flaws (true to Breyer's quality control..though it has gotten better. Kudos to them on that!). Still, a pattern like this is not typical of "normal" runs. 

I will get better pictures when I can...

 My Sonsela has some masking problems, a minor ear rub, and a weird bit of striped shading on her stomach on her left side (picture above). But besides that, she is beautiful, and I am so happy to have her!!

More posts to come soon.

New Models (again)

My Breyer package finally arrived this afternoon. I was so excited! On Cyber Monday, I bought my younger sisters the Classic foal set for Christmas, and I bought myself the Classic Mustang Appy set. It was hard to get photo's of the stallion, because Jimper  kept getting in the way of my photography and so the pictures were either blurry or the cat was photobombing it. The foal, however, got some good shots. Enjoy!

Then the cat came.....

Because the cat wouldn't leave me alone, I moved over to a sunny area. The pictures aren't as good, but at least you get to see the stallion's color. 

I still do not have names for them. So, I am open to suggestions!! Oh, and my Marwari's new name is Ranka, who is a tribe in the desert known for their tales of snakes and such. (That is what it said on the Wikipedia). :)
