The dinky duke needs a little more shading here and there, and the micro mini decorator (charcoal) is already nice and glossy. :) I did not sculpt the tail on the TWH. The mini nahar is for sale by his owner, Mary Hall. She is asking $200. The old mold splash paint chestnut foal is also for sale, by me. :) I wish I could keep that gammon, he's probably my favorite Bay to date! The Arion Medallion, by Rebecca Turner of Solice Art Studio, was a donation paintjob to TIBBP, organized by Deb Buckler of Resins by Randy. :) 

So, here are the new ones I've been working on/recently completed. :) I need to get back to homework, otherwise I'd post a longer post. :)

It's been a while!!

Well, ever since I have started college, my life has been insane! Here's an update- to the best of my ability! My last post was in *gasp* July!! 

Well, I am attending Miami University, in Oxford, Ohio. I am majoring in architecture, and I definitely have less time than you actually think! I tried out for the equestrian team in the fall, and I was one of the few freshmen that made the team. It is the h

unt seat team, and I've decided that I am not going to do hu

nt seat anymore, and that I am just going to do dressage as to not mess with my eventing train

ing, which is where my heart is. :) I did very well with my showing, though. The order goes as follows: 1st, 1st, 3rd, 1st, 1st, 4th (which the judge said I was more "dressagey", which is fine with me!). Here are a couple pictures. 

I have been going home on the weekends to ride, which, apparently, is frowned upon by other college students. Why? Because everyone here parties just about every day! It is certainly the party college! Me? You'll be more likely to find me in the saddle. :) I have gotten the opportunity to participate in my first horse trial May 30th, which I am COMPLETELY excited about! I get to ride this horse on Sundays. :) Here's a 

picture of us jumping from yesterday (Sun 4/5). I also have started riding a 4 year old off the track Thoroughbred mare, Kensie. She is QUITE the

 cutie, and I really enjoy riding her. She is still pretty green, and the canter is (you guessed it!) still pretty crazy, but I think she'll make a wonderful event mare. 

I also have the opportunity to be a working student at an event barn this summer. It is the opportunity of a lifetime, but I think that I will have to turn it down for classes. :( It will be quite a sad decision, but it may be the only way. :( I would have taken Kensie for the summer, which would have been great for her and her owner. 

On the horsie side, I'm having quite a time accepting some of the judging that has been happening, not only with my horses- but just looking at some of the classes. I think there needs to be a re-evaluation! Just a small rant. :)

I will post a post (he he) following this one for some of the models I'm working on and have finished up. 

That's a short version, the regular version would be way too lengthy! And if you all have an attention span like mine- you would lose interest even sooner than this one! He he! 

Thanks for reading!
