Help with a paint touch up

[alie13]

I'm hoping someone on here could help me out. I have an old family pony who has a bit of wear and tear from when I was younger and she was played with a lot.

I really want her ears and legs touching up and also a tiny mark on her face but I definitely don't have the skills or equipment to do it myself.

Would anyone be able to do it for me? Of course in return for giving my girl a makeover I will pay you!

I'd like to know this too a few of my ponies have ear rubs

I've had some goodish results just using acrylic paint (pound-a-pot from The Works, type stuff), but I wouldn't feel confident enough to try on anyone else's horses in case I messed up. The trick is to spend lots of time colour-matching, ie mixing up paint off the horse to get the right shade, and only go at the horse when you are sure the colour matches. Do a tiny bit and see how it looks before doing the whole lot. Also, don't get sucked into trusting what you think the colour is - I redid some "white" socks on a horse and the actual colour match was basically grey, but because the horse was black, it made the grey look white in contrast.

I can really recommend using the Games Workshop Citadel acrylics - they come in a frankly ridiculously vast range of cours and mix really well so they're ideal for matching!

I'm having this problem at the moment too, a few of mine gained a few rubs when I moved house last week, including my beautiful Fjord mare and chestnut dressage horse 😪
