Ok so first horse is not even remotely new anymore, I think I ordered him about 2 years ago now but I had not taken any pics of him until recently poor boy. He is a portrait of one of my old horse's field mates, Mikey. Mikey was an ex racehorse bought by the riding school where I kept Tom but he was rarely used in lessons due to being a bit bonkers. He was like a puppy dog, always making a beeline for people to say hello and give them a good licking! He had a cute pony like head along with a big lanky body so suited the TB mould perfectly.
Real Mikey:
'c'mere so I can lick yer!'
And his Julip version
- Laura did some beautiful soft shading on him and big soppy eyes just like real Mikey.
And because real Mikey always seemed to end up with tatty hand me downs, I decided Julip Mikey needed to be spoiled with a nice cosy Rambo rug. I tucked his mane in as it's gone a bit frizztastic and needs a bit of work!
So a belated thank you Laura, he's lovely!
Aaaaaaaaaaaand second up is one some of you have already seen, my new Lippi spare from the show.
She is just a little bit tasty! Her name is Suenos Dulces, (Spanish for Sweet Dreams) but she's known around the yard as Dreamer.
