My newest custom is a custom Thoroughbred portrait of "Smooth Sailing," (Aka, Copper) a high maintenance lesson horse at my barn. Copper is a 16.1 sorrel thoroughbred and a grandson of Secretariat. He's not just sorrel, though, he's coppery. In the sun his coat glistens like the real thing! He's a hunter Jumper, which means he can jump BIG. No wonder his name is Smooth Sailing - his canter is indescribably
amazing! My custom is on the Breyer Stablemates Thoroughbred mold, and I painted him with acrylics and a "Antique Copper" color. The pictures don't really capture the coppery glow, but in person it looks just like the real horse.
Can't wait to see this coppery beauty in person!
