It seems Breyer has decided to make me really jealous. So much so, that they have used my three most favorite molds as auction models!

Stella Update/More Breyerfest!

Breyer has announced four more auction models while I have been absent from the category of models and in the world of getting a beautiful mare. I looked today at them, and they seem to really be favoring grey's for this Breyerfest!

Oh My. I LOVE her! I don't have any models in this mold, and I just think is is stunning. If you have read this blog for a while, you know that I love almost any Paint or Pinto.

OK, please don't be mad, but I don't really prefer the vintage look. While I do like this mold, I like more "crispness" such that is in the newer painted models.

6/17/14 announcement.

First decorator model announced in this year's auction. I don't have any decorator models, but I do have one horse in this Ethereal mold (Noche Buena, 2012 Christmas horse) I really like him. I love the dynamic pose of this model, and the person who will get this boy will be very lucky!

Today's announcement.

STUNNING! her spots are very nice, and her shading is very good. She seems really glossed up. While I prefer Matte's, I think that she would fit very well into my (or anyone else's) model barn!

 Now on to Stella. 

I was having a hard time waiting for this woman's decision. Neither my mom or my dad thought that she would pay for a vet or chiropractic trip to fix Stella. I nearly cried a few times...

But, I decided to fully to put my trust in God, and see how things played out. 

I got am email a few hours later. 

"Hi, just a quick update. Wendy wants to move forward with the vet seeing Stella for body issues. However, can't get her scheduled for 2 weeks. "

 above: part of email from Mrs. Tia to me. 

I jumped up and down with excitement, tears starting to come. I ran upstairs and called my dad (who was helping a friend move. My mom was also their) and told him. He decided not to tell mom until I could tell her myself (she wouldn't pick up her phone). Then, I called Mrs. June who couldn't believe it. She told me that she had gotten an email from Mrs. Tia that morning, saying that woman didn't want the vet or Chiropractor out (she just probably didn't want to pay for it). 

I couldn't believe it!

Thank you, Lord. 

So, I still have a chance to get her after all!

Harley and Platinum Star

Even though I have already posted about Harley in a post about all of the new mid year releases, I decided to talk about him some more because I just love him so much. So far this is my favorite Breyer mold. Ever. (The Brishen mold is a close second). I almost shouted when I saw him as a regular run released mold so soon. I am just surprised that Carrick hasn't had a regular run mold yet.

Harley in Breyer tack.

This mold (Latigo) has already been introduced as a Premier Collection Model




and a Breyerfest Model (Platinum Star).

SO PRETTY!


Paint grullas are absolutely one of my horse favorite colors, if not my favorite color. Here are some real Pinto Grullas.




Swoon.


I love this model so much, I may end up conga-ing him! Do you like The Latigo mold?

Cool Colors

 

Horses have many different varieties of colors. Some are much more popular than others. Bay, black, chestnut, white, grey, paint, and some appaloosa colors are all quite well known. Today, though I will show you some not-so-popular colors that I find fascinating.



This is Champagne. It is restively a new known color to the horse world. Champagnes are characteristic to the pink muzzles (prone to sunburn), a range from pale gold to bronze in color, and a rich mane. The eyes are hazel, green, or blue. This horse in the picture below is a little darker than some champagnes, but I thought she was so pretty that I had to post it. This color is commonly found in Quarter horses, Tennessee Walking horses, and American Cream Draft horses.

 

 

This is a chestnut rabicano horse. This color is extremely rare, and usually found only in Arabians. The rabicano color (white specks on only the sides of the horse) has only yet recorded appeared on black and chestnut coats. Horses are born with this coat color. It doesn't appear overtime as some horse's spots do (such as bird catcher spots).

 

This horse is a blue overo paint. This color is hardly found, but can occur in Paints, Miniature horses, Saddlebreds, and a few other breeds. These horses usually sell for a lot of money because if their unique coat color. 

 

And one of the rarest coats, probably the rarest coat, is brindle. They can occur in almost any breed. Very few of these brindle horses have ever been recorded,  and have the brindle coat colors like dogs do. Brindle can occur in chestnut, white, light bay, and grey colors.

 

 

Another interesting color is perlino. This color, in certain lighting, can look pink. Perlino's have a beautiful sheen to them. This color is being looked at closely by scientists. The perlino color occurs in American cream Draft horses, Florida Cracker horses, the Akhal teke breed (pictured below), Saddlebreds, and in some cases, paints and Quarter horses.

 

   

 

This color is called silver dapple. It is a bay coat (diluted black) with a flaxen mane and tail. It may also have dapples. This color is highly prized in the Rocky Mountain horse, but this color will show up in the Saddlebred breed, the Shetland pony, Miniature horse, Morgan, and the Quarter horse.

 

 

 

 The last color I will tell you about is the Paint Sabino. Sabino isn't the actual color, it is way the color is mapped on the coat. I will do another blog post on this, because it can be difficult to explain. It is the rarest of all three maps of color types on the Paint horse. I will get into more detail about this in my next blog post, hopefully. This color only usually occurs in Gypsy Vanners, Spotted Saddle Horses, and Paints.  Sabino's are so rare, I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't seen one. I just had the opportunity to see the first red Sabino Gypsy Vanner imported from England last month. It was so cool!

 

 

Enjoy your day!!
