Back on his own two feet. . .and tail.

Well, thank goodness everything came together the way I hoped it would. He can stand up all on his own without any armature holding him there. *whew* It seems like he'll be nice and stable (yuk yuk) and no more "tipsy" than the average model horse. ;^P
I know it shouldn't have been such a concern. Three points touching isn't a new concept in model horsedom. It's a totally new thing in Kathi Boguckidom though. I've only done two sculptures that didn't have bases (well, four if you want to count the two that are laying down) and both of those had all four on the floor. So, I still had my concerns that it would balance correctly and not go crashing over sideways. . .or worse *forwards!* Anyhow, this one is off to the prepper for that smooth finishing touch. In the mean time, I'm casting one more to become this one's brother from another mother. . .mold. Har har! Sorry about that. . . I'm feeling a wee bit punchy tonight. :^o

Looks great! I love the mane and tail, nice and soft, not bulky at all!

Kathi, he looks fantastic!
That's so cool he's without a base.

This is stunning........ the head is just amazing classic and elegant.

I just tried emailing you thru your website and it bounced back.

Do you have any bronze or resin Saddlebred sculptures, plaques etc.. avaliable? I once saw a few oval plaques with Saddlebreds of the past. I think they were given out at the Wisconsin horse show, do you have any of these for sale? I think they were Supreme Sultan, Wing Commander and Rex McDonald. I would Love any help.


Thank you,

How can I order one! No Really! He is FANTASTIC! Here is an idea for another ASB. I would love to see you do one parked out Like the Lord of the Ring and Standing Ovation. I love the Halter Stance horses. But this guy is fabulous!

He is beautiful. I've never really been into the breed but a friend sent me one to paint and the lines are just gorgeous.
I hope you don't mind but I added him to the ERD (he wasnt already on there) so unfortunately his sole representation is the one I painted (I didnt have nekkid pics to put there)

Thank you putting him on the ERD Michelle! Your photographs and paintjob make him look SO good! This is probably the first painted resin version I've even seen! Congratulations on doing such a great job! For anyone else that would like to see. . . http://www.equineresindirectory.com/showresin.asp?resinid=2977
