This is Sarsen And there's a story to him being my choice for this month's theme. Not very interesting, but a tiny mildly amusing snippet of Julip history, anyway! Years ago, long before Julip changed hands, the connemara mould was being recast and announced at one of the Open Weekend events down in Cattistock. Annabel wanted to have a couple of finished models to display on the day, so everyone could see how the new connemara looked in person, all painted up. So she secretly told Pinkmouse and myself that we could order connemaras in whatever colour, and they'd be there at the show to advertise the mould and then take home with us. I asked for mine to be 'very dark bay, as dark as you can get it, with a LOT of white on', thinking this would look really distinctive and dramatic, with big markings on a dark colour. I said just make up the markings, rather than me finding and sending a reference pic of any real horse, cos it's easier to invent them than to copy from photos. On the day, the connemara was revealed, Pinkmouse's grey Trout, and my dark bay, who I named Sarsen after the famous stones at Stonehenge which I'd visited the day before. And as Annabel handed him over, I noticed he was dark all over, asked 'Where's his white?' and she answered 'Was he meant to have white on?' We had a little laugh about her completely forgetting half of what I'd asked for, and said I could go and put his markings on myself as there was a Paint Your Own table in the hall, so it would've been easy enough to update him. But I decided I liked him as he was, and it was just funny rather than disappointing. So he's stayed without white forever, and this is the first time he's ever been able to take part in a competition just because someone forgot his socks

This is a little bit delayed reaction as he was February's winner and the photo was taken at the beginning of March, but I just found this picture of Sarsen proudly showing off his model of the month rosette! (I was having trouble with Postimg at the time and after about 20 goes at uploading I gave up and put the pic away, but the site seems to be happy again now)
