Sometimes I have to create a new ear or leg but my favorite part is putting color on and watching that primer white Horse come to life..
I also do repairs on Models or resins that have broken.
I enjoy selling Models I\'ve done.
I love trying to match a pastel job with the picture of a real horse.
Sarah and I still love getting together and creating what we call new customs.
I attended a model Horse pastel clinic taught by Sarah Tregay where I discovered a new best friend and passion: pasteling stablemates.
I started customizing Models in the late 1990s.
From a young age, I showed my artistic talent by drawing horses.
However, I prefer customizing stablemates.
Of course I played with them and broke a few so now I have a collection of Horse bodies for customizing.
In the late 1960s, one or two lawn mowing jobs would buy a model horse, and that\'s how I built my collection.
I started collecting Breyers when I was about six.
I passed that love on to my daughter and two sons.
My parents hoped I would outgrow it but instead it just grew.
My love for horses started at an early age and the passion I had for them never wavered.
I live in Nampa, Idaho with my Husband, two dogs, four cats, one cow and 11 horses.
