JÓLNIR
Limited edition Fjord stallion, available in 3 random variants - a traditional mane cut accompanied by a pine and cedar swag with pinecones, a triangular mane cut with holly embellishments in the swag, and a heart version with mistletoe. A three pack came with an exclusive mini with no swag. Jólnir is based off of a photo by the talented Christiane Slawik.
METEOR
A popular Sand Wash Basin stallion, Meteor, rears in front of Monument Hill, a prominent feature in the HMA. This medallion was created as a benefit for the herd and helped to repair spring infrastructure for watering and to fence a large section of the basin near a busy road to protect the horses from vehicles. Meteor is based on a photograph generously donated by Scott Wilson of WilsonAxpe Photography.
COOKIE MONSTER
Cookie Monster is never available for purchase, but often shows up as a giveaway. This snacky pony is quick to beg and quicker to steal your treats, and your heart!
VALENTINE
A girl and her pony - Valentine represents true partnership and lasting friendship. This pair is perfectly turned out for a hunter show, waiting at the gate and having a nice moment before their round. Valentine is a large medallion, very thick and weighty, measuring 5 1/2 inches across, perfect for replicating all those tiny, important details on custom portraits.
HEATHER
This 5 inch diameter medallion features a Highland Pony mare delicately plucking a flower from a thistle, the prickly plant many horses and ponies develop a taste for. She is bordered with iconic heather flowers, commonly found on the highlands of Scotland where these hardy little ponies and plants thrive. Highland Ponies come in many solid colors, but you don't have to let her breed stop you from painting a flashy pinto or appy, as she will look just as cute as a mixed breed.
CHAPOTEO BUST AND MEDALLION
Chapoteo - meaning splash! - is an Iberian stallion enduring spa day. His eyes are squinted against the stream of hose water, but he is also tempted to have some fun and has stuck his tongue out to play. Chapoteo comes in bust (5 1/2 inches tall) and medallion (4 inches long) form. His water splash is pressure cast in crystal clear UV resistant resin to eliminate air bubbles and prevent yellowing, and finished with a UV resistant gloss coating to further protect and enhance the ultra wet water look. The splash can be temporarily attached with museum wax, or permanently glued after finishing. Thanks to Heather Moreton for the photo reference!
DAHLIA AND ROSIE
Dahlia (facing left) and her mini me Rosie (facing right) is a portrait of a sweet draft mare living the quiet life of retirement. These drafts are generic enough to be painted a variety of colors, which is easy to do with tiny Rosie at 3 inches long. Dahlia is a hefty lady, cast thick and measuring 6 inches long.
