I had so much fun making this horse out of a Breyer Ruffian back in the day. She was my interpretation of a particular very hot pony in the barn, named Kitten, and the filler is all wood dough.
She is the precursor to a piece I made later, Star Attraction, who was the model I WANTED to make when I made this one, but didn’t have the skills for.
This is a stablemate I did as a custom order for Nora Doyle back in the 1980s. I understand her collection did not survive her. She had a few of my models. We corresponded for years and my day was always brighter when I got a letter from her in the mailbox.
Cadfael’s Cygnet was a SM QH mare refined a bit, and painted dappled grey in oils with a braided hair mane and tail.
