I used to think that I wasn't really a Stone collector,
but as more and more Stones appeared on my shelves, I came to realize
that I was deluding myself. I am now officially hooked. As you can
see, I like the glossy ones.
|
 |
This is Earendil, the pride of my Stone
collection. He is an exquisite test run painted by Sarah Mink in
2001 and auctioned off at Equilocity 2002 as "Fivel."
|
 |
The Arab in glossy chestnut as a portrait of the
famous stallion *Muscat, a great favorite of mine. This was a run
of 70 pieces in fall 2008.
|
 |
This elegant mare is Shakana Glory, the 2004 SR
for the Stone County Fair.
|
 |
This is Newsprint, the January 2001 Equilith
SR. He was limited to 300 pieces and came with a red tasseled halter.
|
 |
This is White Madras, a bloody shoulder
Arab produced as a regular run in 2002. Mine was hand-picked for
his dark shaded face, knees, and hocks, as well as his bright blood-marking.
All the other models I looked at had hazy white paint misted over
the marking, so I think my model is a variation.
|
 |
Apparently, I have a thing for grey Arabs. This
is a OOAK Arab with a straightened head and loose tail in glossy
fleabitten grey. I ordered him during the 2009 You Call It Custom
Order sale.
|
 |
This is the 2007 Blab SR glossy "Honey"
made for the Blab mods. She is one of about 25 glossy models.
|
 |
This is Dirty Sally, a 2007 SR of 170 pieces designed
and painted by Ed Gonzalez. This is the factory custom version,
not the extreme factory custom version.
|
|
|
This is a test run ISH in glossy dapple grey painted
by Karen Gerhardt.
|
 |
This is Answered Prayer, a SR glossy red dun ISH.
Only 30 pieces were produced in 2007.
|
 |
This is one of only two glossy Houdini models.
His mane and tail are slightly different than the matte special
run.
|
 |
This pretty ISH is a OOAK factory custom by Wendy
Galbreath done in 2010. I love his swishy tail!
|
 |
This is Eight Hundred Fifty Four, a OOAK Stone
ISH (who will geta better name at some point). He is a glossy dappled
bay sabino with blue eyes produced in 2010.
|
 |
This is One Thousand One Hundred and One, a wildly
patterned dark chestnut tovero trotting drafter produced in fall
2010. These pix are from the Stone website, but I'll get some of
my own shortly.
|
 |
His other side.
|
 |
The new Arab yearling is my latest weakness. This
one is Magnolia, a bay tobiano part-Arab from a 150 piece edition
made in 2008. Half were matte and half were glossy, and this of
course is one of the glossy pieces.
|
 |
This one is Sunflower, a glossy palomino from
another 150 piece edition made in 2008.
|
 |
This is Xerxes, another glossy yearling, also
from a run of 150 pieces in 2008.
|
 |
This is Royal Dalton, yet another 2008 run of
150, and a glossy, naturally. She is actually Wedgewood in color,
but Breyer may have copyrighted the name/color (in terms of model
horses), hence naming this filly after a company that rivaled the
real Wedgwood company. (Notice that Breyer and Stone intentionally
mispelled Wedgwood (no "e") and Royal Doulton.)
|
 |
This is San Dimas, a glossy golden bay yearling
from a run of 100 pieces in 2008.
|
 |
This is customized Arab Yearling from a run of
6 made for the 2009 Warehouse Sale. She has turned head, customized
mane, twitched ears, and a swishy tail.
|
 |
This is Star,a grulla tobiano weanling SR for
RMR 2010.
|
 |
This is Sassy, the 2001 Stone Country Fair SR.
This pony is treasured by me because trading CM work for her introduced
me to my best friend. :-)
|
 |
This is a OOAK custom Pebbles Arab ordered as
part of the 2009 You Call It custom promotion.
|
 |
This is Vassar, a pretty glossy fleabit grey Pebbles
Arab mare from the 2009 Stone Horse Collection.
|
 |
This is a OOAK custom Pebbles Arab ordered as
part of the 2009 You Call It custom promotion.
|
 |
This is Boots, an eBay SR of only 15 pieces done
in September 2010.
|
 |
This is "Remember Me," a 2006 SR for
attendees of the March 2006 Stone-sponsored live show in Chicago
that turned out to not be a NAN-qualifier. I hardly ever get to
NAN anyway, so I was quite pleased to have this little horse instead.
I call him Snafu, heehee.
