BIG Updates... now in Region 7

Alright, so there has been some huge changes here at Blackthorn Stables ever since the move from Region 6 to Region 7.

First, our Logo has been changed to a Tennessee Walking Horse with a Crescent moon to reflect our present focus within the hobby, which is on Gaited Breeds. We still use the Jumper logo, but will be using this one in addition to it!

Second, we have sold off most of our Stone Horse Show String and will no longer be pursuing Stone models. The following horses are no longer showing with us: Diamonds and Guns, California Rose, Nobody's Business, Spotted Big Time, Doktor Nowak, Domino Effect, Senorita Margarita, and Paparazzi. We have more of our show string still listed for sale: Iron Cross, High Note, Reign of Fire, Oakleaf Autumn, Tahitian Moon, Casual Friday, Whiskey Business, and Thieving Magpie. With the exception of our American Saddlebreds and our Tennessee Walking Horse "Mr. Firestarter" we will no longer be showing within the Stone Division for personal reasons.

Third, the good stuff! We have moved on to Customs and Artist Resins, the current focus being Gaited Horses, but we will be pursuing Stock and Sport breeds as well. Presently we have an Independence by Chris Nandell-Flint waiting in the wings, and a Moonshine resin by Kitty Cantrell being sent off to Sue Kern for painting. We also have an Amity and Phoenix on the way. The Amity is blank, and will be painted as a portrait model- the Phoenix is pictured above.

So a lot has changed, but all for the better. I feel more relaxed and rejuvenated in the hobby and I can feel the spark coming back.

Hollow Horse Live - Test of a Halter Champion

3/23/2013

April 13th is coming up, which means that Hollow Horse Live is just around the corner.

We're taking the time this weekend to prep many of our horses for their upcoming show. It is the test of a halter champion and horses may show in TWO divisions... winning a maximum of 2 NAN cards at the show in Halter. Of course, we have high hopes for Laws of Attraction and Colossus of Rhodes, as they are our consistent champions and the pride of our barn. This will be a true test for them. However, if they don't pull through in their "tougher" division, I will not hold it against them. After all, showing a custom against Artist Resins and Custom Glazed China horses is almost a surefire failure as people seem to appreciate customs the least. The plastic division is a slightly different story, as I feel that Rhodie will be able to hold his own and possibly triumph above the other OF horses since he has been so expertly groomed and handled. I guess we will have to see!

Are you going to be at Hollow Horse Live in April? Make sure to stop by and say hi! I will be judging the OF Other Make division as well as the OF China division.

    About Us

    We're a model horse barn located in Region 7. We'll be sharing new additions, updates, and video postings here. Unless otherwise noted, all updates are pertaining to model horses, not their real life counterparts. So I guess you could say we do a bit of role playing in this Blog.
