Customized Pieces

All That Jazz
Brown pinto spotted drafter gelding, customized from Breyer Cederfarm Wixom; created 2007.

Trubadoir
Bay tobiano spotted drafter gelding, customized from Breyer Wintersong; created 2007. Describing this piece: D'Arry just can't seem to leave things alone, so customize she did! First she took off the forelock, which resembled a horn of some sort and gave him a softer appearance by giving him a more tack friendly braided forelock with a streaming ribbon. Next was the tail - off with it! :-) He now has a loose docked tail. And because that hind leg that is raised gives the mold some "tippy" issues, she then repositioned it into more of a natural position which entailed resculpting the leg from the thigh down. Although it seems like a minor change, it made a huge difference!

Smudge

Name unknown
Bay American Miniature Horse stallion customized from the Chris Jolly WBP Howard Huge resin.

Name unknown
Bay blanket Appaloosa gelding customized from the Breyer Swaps (some spots are "raised").

Dressage
Front view of "Party Doll," a Little Bit Thoroughbred customized by owner D'Arry Frank. Tack and rider made by D'Arry Frank. (You'd have a great time looking at her "body box"! She has a small tackle box with self-sculpted heads, torsos and limbs which she slaps together with sticky wax in the positions she needs before a class. Very clever and 100% adaptable!)

Dressage
Two more views of "Party Doll" shows the beautiful half-passing which it's doing to perfection! This little fellow is not only gorgeous but correct as well!
