Valiant on ebay;

Just a quick note while I'm in the house and steering clear of the insane heat and humidity we are having, to say that I have painted the newly released "Valiant" medallion into a gorgeous dappled buckskin! I had a heap of fun painting this guy!



He is also on ebay currently - feel free to check him out here:

Shows, Sales & Showjumping (well the beginning again!)

Slowly keeping with New Year Resolutions - I am back riding, and I feel as if the lacking in tone I've suffered from having two years out of the saddle is beginning to tone back up again! I have two in work at the moment with a greenly broken mare ready on the sidelines; the two in work are Jerry and Wog (yes, he was named 'Wog' because his brand reads W0G and he was nameless when I picked him up from one of those backyard sales where the meat man lurks), both he and Jerry came from there.

Although 'coming back' hasn't being without it's challenges. Both Jerry and Wog got themselves some nice cuts in the new paddock (goodness knows how they done it, you know what horse's are like) - but their fine, and of course, the stallion wanted more attention than he was getting and obviously kicked out in his yard, got caught and has done something to his hock and leg. It's being blown up something cruel for a good three weeks now, he's walking on it though, so that's the best sign.

Back to studio news though - I heard wonderful news about a show in QLD over the weekend as I was proxying two horse's there. The new Flash repaint: "Flash 4 Cash" done me proud:

CM/AR American Pony Breed - 1st
CM/AR Buckskin Color - 2nd

And my Nokota custom ("Tashunke Witko") who is being paid off by his happy owner, done me proud as well:

CM/AR Other Breed - 1st
Champion 'Other Breed'

Looks like he missed his color class as well which was a shame, but he would have being the only one in the Cremello class, so it wasn't a huge loss that he wasn't in the class.

As far as sales, I currently have my first dappled grey on eBay Australia on the Peter Stone Cantering Pebbles (I believe he's a WB/TB/Hunter type of horse) - any critques on this guy are more than welcome, I love hearing feedback!

Hope you all have a great weekend once Friday is over!
