Introducing......

[juliporiginals]

Our NEW Heavy Horse!

Isn't he just such a lovely handsome chunky monkey! Tania has done an absolutely fantastic job on him and he has turned out exactly as I had hoped

This is obviously the original sculpture and I still have to get him cast into plaster moulds which might take a little while longer and then the decision as to whether to add feathers and get him re-cast or whether to make each feathered one a bespoke model but I couldn't wait any longer to introduce him!

I just want to thank everyone again for donating to the raffle and buying the tickets that we had at our show last year as this was a huge help in making this possible

I’m going to need to start saving my pennies as I’ll need several of these gorgeous beasties!

I definitely think two versions would be best!

[Hayfield Stables]

Oh he looks wonderful! Definitely on the wish list!

[stacey]

He’s gorgeous! Well done all involved, I can’t wait to get my hands on one   Would recasting with feather lose some size like the Feathered Cob vs Farm Cob?  

[juliporiginals]

Yes unfortunately it would, that's why I'm wondering whether to do the feathers on each one which might be better

[Wollepluis]

I keep coming back to have a look at the photos, it’s such a gorgeous sculpture!

[Haribopony]

Absolutely adore this- I need a heavy at my yard!

[astudyinscarlet]

That's so nice. Looks like I'm already adding Suffolk, Percheron and some kind of roan European draught type to my wants list now (it looks like it will make an awesome Shire type too with feathering but I prefer the heavies with less feather myself).

[juliporiginals]

It is a lovely sculpture that hopefully will be nice and versatile both with and without feathers, it seems to suit a lot of different breeds, Tania has done us proud

[FarfraeFarm]

I wanted to see the new boy in colours, so I experimented a bit with my minimal photoshop skills. Now I can't wait to see the first spares!



Clean legs, light floof (like the Feathered Cob), heavy floof (like the vintage Carthorse)

[juliporiginals]

Thank you for doing those mock ups, it definitely gives me a better idea of how he's going to turn out once finished, he actually looks wonderful in each one!

[kits]

He's gorgeous, what a lovely addition to Julip! I love how he's simultaneously nice and realistic and incredibly well sculpted but also very obviously a characterful Julippy shape too, if that makes sense

[capriole]

These are going to look gorgeous. I can't wait to see what everyone does with them 

[Charlotte]

Hands up who already has about 1001 horses they want on this mould!

[juliporiginals]

Just a quick update on the heavy horse as it's been a while.

I'm still currently waiting to get him cast, the sculpture is still a bit soft and slightly difficult to handle without damaging it. So I'm waiting for it to harden up a bit more before I take it to be cast, just in case it gets it's ear or legs get knocked, although this hot weather isn't helping at all!

[juliporiginals]

Great news...the heavy horse has finally hardened up enough to go and be cast!
