My bundle of Julips arrived last week, but today I was bundled up for a meeting on campus that I braved the snowfall for some pictures. It was snowing when they arrived, too, so they have weathery names.
First up is Vortex (for last year's terrible storm). This was a custom order for my birthday back in September, and I certainly don't mind the wait when the results are this lovely. The picture is a bit dark and the snow too deep, but he's a pretty light dun with leg barring.
Second is Flurry, a spare leftover from the live show. I can only imagine how lovely the others were if this was a leftover! The furry feet are fitting for a horse enjoying some wintery pasture time before the next show season. The picture's not great, but the snowflakes were adorable in her mane. (it also seems that I only buy bay spares, even though my customs have all been other colors)
Third is another birthday custom, though apparently he didn't get his own picture (it was cold--I was hurrying). He's inspired by my childhood Shetland Pony, who actually was a palomino in the summer and a cream puff ball in the winter. I'm calling him Aputi, an Inuit word for snow on the ground.

Or maybe a heavy sabino on the Arabian mare...
