Thanks! I mainly do commissions for people, so they send me Breyers, Peter Stones, or artist resin sculptures that I paint - have them be unpainted or "original finish" (already painted) from the factory that I prep, primer, and re-paint.

That's really cool! Do you make good money from it?

She does a pretty good volume of them too, I can't open a door in our house without hearing "Careful I have a horse in there" lol.

I rode/showed/competed in western events growing up and my family had Quarter Horses. My last horse was a double registered Palomino Quarter Horse out of Skipper W and Ms. Helen lines. I had some great ones growing up and my grandpa was big on the AQHA foundation animals: Easy Jet, Wimpy, Driftwood, etc. My gelding died three years ago at 26 and I haven't gotten another and right now I don't have the time or space, money aside. He was foaled the same year I was (ha! sorry, mom!) and was an awesome horse. Versatile as could be and could have gone a lot further with a more accomplished rider than what I was/am. Horses and dogs...if I could only pick two animals to have the rest of my life, those would be the two. Snakes would be a close third but those two would take the top spots. I tried hunt seat once...and that was the end of that, lol! Jodphurs and posting...never could make sense of either of those things, lol! I still have my saddle and if circumstances ever allow for it, I'll absolutely get another horse, even if it's just one to plod around the pasture on.

I can't wait until I can get competing again. I do miss it but I'm glad I'm still able to ride all the time, albeit with fewer shows
So what are you waiting for? I guess it will happen soon in the favor of yours..

I'm clearly super late to this thread (I usually never manage to scroll past BPs on the forum list), but I'm a jumper (none of that boring hunter stuff)! Hopefully I will grow enough self control to stop depleting my new horse fund every time I see a nice axanthic, and be able pick up a nice OTTB soon... It's depressing how many of them are broken down as four year olds, but I've seen enough 4-5k horses that turn out to be capable of grand prix that I want to go for it (plus I don't exactly make enough to go shopping in Germany!).
