- Kristin Berkery of Red Dog Studio writes "This little mare is in between Stablemate-scale and micro-mini scale. (See
the bottom photo for a scale comparison.) She's a spirited little Arabian
mare heavy in foal, but not too pregnant to feel frisky. She was inspired by
the typey and athletic mares bred by Jack Tone Ranch in Stockton, Calif.,
for the last 50+ years. If you visit their ranch and ask to see their horses
in action, you'll see exactly what I was aiming for in this sculpture. Her
name came from Fadjurs Joi, one of the daughters of the legendary Fadjur x
Saki cross, who's birthday was just two days after Kristin's. This sculpture
is packed full of details, from her mare anatomy under her tail to her tiny
nipples on her udder to her little "tear bones" under her eyes. She has
sculpted muscling throughout. She has a lot of spunk, but she stands only
1-3/4 inches at her eartips!" Click here to see her. Thanks Kristin!
- Heidi Reaves customized this beautiful Linda York "Volante" into a soft, delicious
chestnut! He is stablemate sized and was the show resin for Desert Winds
classic. He also comes with a pedigree! Click here to see him!

the Moody "Celebration" resin CM by Sharon Hill:

- Kevin and Holly McFarland have donated TWO of their awesome SM arena fence
display bases for our auction! One is Western logo themed for those Western
setups, and one has both Western and English logos for more of an
all-purpose display. Kevin describes the base as follows...
Remove the cover, set up the fence, and add your horse! What could be
easier? Our unique arena fence display base is always ready to go! We build
our fences using dimensional lumber sizes like the real world, complete with
nail holes. Sponsor logos are not simply glued on "cutouts", but rather
professionally applied artwork utilizing techniques that provide a
realistic, painted on appearance. Although difficult to see in these images,
fences come weathered, i.e. somewhat dirty, kicked, and scuffed. Quite
simply put, the finest little fences available. Base is 12" wide x 6" deep,
complete with play sand, and will accommodate 10 foot (scale) rails when
needed. Now, NAN cards are easy to obtain in both western and english
pleasure classes with this flexible display! And when the day is over,
simply "pop" off the fence, place into base, and attach the matching Hunter
green plywood cover that features a foam seal. Easy enough? And best of all,
no more sandy mess!

Rulers:
The Equi-ScaleT Model Horse Ruler

flexible, 10" long laminated ruler features three popular scales:
Traditional scale is on one side...flip it over for Classic and StablemateT
scales. Fits easily into a pocket, tack box, or saddle bag. Thanks Kevin and Holly!
