Introducing...Spud! Spud by Elrenia_Greenleaf, on Flickr I ordered him a while back as my 25th birthday present, only I'm terrible at organising things and actually missed my birthday as I didn't order early enough, so now he's an early Christmas present instead! XD Spud by Elrenia_Greenleaf, on Flickr Spud by Elrenia_Greenleaf, on Flickr I asked Laura to paint him similar to a lovely pintaloosa I'd seen at the Royal Highland Show a few times, although not as a specific portrait as I don't know the horse in question. Showjumping by Elrenia_Greenleaf, on Flickr I asked for a personalised freezemark too with my initials and age so I'll always have a little memento of one of my 'big' birthdays. It's probably typical that my first special order from 'new' Julip had to be one of the most ridiculously complicated colours horses come in so apologies once again, Laura, I'll be sure to order a relatively plain and boring colour next time to make up for it! XD I still haven't decided on a colour scheme for him as he keeps changing his mind every time I think I've got it sorted! I always make newbies a bridle or headcollar but as he won't tell me his favourite colour, I thought a bridle would be my best bet as I can always swap out the browband for something in another colour. I made a simple 'Tom Thumb' styled bit from one half of a hook and eye closure and included a little curb chain as well, although it's a link too long and I'll need to tweak it...

Why "Spud"? Is there a joke attached to the name?

No, he wouldn't settle on any name I gave him, until Spud just popped into my head! XD

He's gorgeous! Would a rusty orange suit him? His mane and tail are lovely!

I'd put him in pink, I think he could carry it off!
