Indian pony | real horse hair

[Riddles*Rottie]

Pawnee was created from a very manky, very scraped up purple pony that I could not identifi. Her eyes were competley smudged off and one ear was completely gone at the base. Her left ear has been rescuplted using a donor ear of the same pose.

His main and tail have been rerooted with genuine horse hair from the bridle paths of the resident horses at our ranch. Wenseday was bridle path trimming time, so I spent my entire day clipping and shaving the bride paths and whiskers from the horses. I ended up with a 3 pounds of horse hair. Barely visible, Pawnee has a slihght pink snip.

Pawnee sports a rope halter and beautiful beaded rope neclace. Indian paint has also been added as his "Symbols" on his body and cheek. A red hand print and two red and blue designs. One on his DS shoulder, and NDS cheek.

Pawnee has a spot that twists across his face. He has one blue eye and the other is of normal color.

These pictures do not do him justice. As always, critique is always welcome along with cunstructive critisism.

That is one cool pony! I love the way that you did the coloration and you gave it perfect accessories. The hair makes this pony though...it's awesome!

Wow guys, thanks so much! Pawnee just went to his final home today. I made him a prayer pony for my riding instructory, Judy. With every strand of hair I rooted into his head, I said a prayer for her.

Thanks for comments!

Very well done and gorgeous pony. I do have a question however..why do you trim the horses whiskers. They are there to protect the horses, so just wondering.

Great job!!!!

Nixiefee,


Great question and thanks for asking! The ranch I work at breeds and trains hunter/jumper, eventing and showing horses. You trim the whiskers on these horses so the horse appears to be well groomed, sleek, clean and very fancy therefore whisker trimming is a must. If you are riding for fun, whisker trimming is not a neccesity but in competition, it is. If you are showing, your horse needs to look nice and neat or points can be counted off from your final score. It does not hurt or bother the horse in any way. They grow back in a few days after the event so all is good. And trust me, the horse could care less

Hope this answers your question!

Thanks to everyone else for the comments!
