I'm ALIVE

Hey guys, it's Maddy!
 I can't believe how long it's been since the last time I posted.. wow! I really haven't been doing much of anything hobby related lately, I've been in a slump. I tried writing a few posts but it was no fun and I couldn't figure out anything interesting to post. I've been really busy with the real horses, rodeo and photography, but I recently got a breyer I've been waiting on for a while and it's kinda helped me out of the slump!

Meet, Fontana! She's been a grail of mine for years and you rarely ever see her up for sale, but a few months ago my friend posted on instagram that he was selling some of his collection, and low and behold there was Fontana! He allowed me to work a partial trade so I was able to get her.

I'm obsessed with how well she photographs. 😍 Of course she'll be a performance horse, so as soon as I got her I had to tack her up!


First thing I did was put a roper type saddle and rider on her, she looks smashing in red and black.

Geez, cowboy, don't text and ride!

Next I put her in some gaming tack, green and black are my favorite colors, but it just didn't really pop on her.

So after that, I changed some of the tack and tried hot pink, bam! She looks killer

While I had her tacked up, I played around with some photography and editing, really like how some of them turned out..

After playing around with Fontana it got me motivated to finish some customs, really proud of how they turned out!
First one finished was this paint mare with a resculpted mane..

I don't usually like doing paints because of all the layers of white, but I took my time with this this girl and really love her!

Next custom was a blue roan mare, with hair by hair roan details all over her body! It's been a while since I did a hair by hair roan and I forgot how long they take! But, really happy with the outcome.

I also have a commission that is close to being finished, hopefully I can finish it in the next few days, and maybe do a blog post on it?

Last thing is this little cross country saddle that's been sitting on my work table for a few months, I think as soon as I finish the racing commission I need to get it done, and maybe paint a horse to go with it!

Any color suggestions for the horse?


Thanks for reading guys, I think I'm getting out of the slump I've been in, so you'll be hearing from me more often now!
