Wheel Good Deals

I'm super excited for Breyerfest this year, even if I can't afford to go in person. I've always loved driving and I spent much of my childhood driving my hackney pony, Star. 

My first piece of model horse tack was a driving harness for my breyer hackney pony to match the real one and one of the things I wanted most was a cart. When I built my first cart, the biggest issue was finding appropriately sized wheels to use. When I designed ones for 3d printing I was surprised that all these years later, scale wheels were still hard to find. 

I will continue having them in my shop, but for anyone with a 3D printer, I have uploaded them to thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6081635) and you are welcome to print and use them. I have no issues with anyone selling something they make with them, these are a component. But please do not sell the wheels.

To everyone still finishing up their Breyerfest projects I wish you the best of luck and I hope everyone has a wheel-y great breyerfest!

Visiting Horse College

I helped my sister move out of her barn after she graduated and I figured there might be in some interest in the equine center at Murry State. 

The main building had classrooms and offices. There was also a really cool display of their ribbons and I'm definitely going to be trying to make a ribbon wreath at some point.

They have a massive arena which my sister said she took a lot of riding classes in. 

The pastures were decent sized and very pretty although I don't think the horses liked eating the yellow flowers too much. 

The student barn was... a barn. The cool part was that they had ramps to get up into the hay loft which made it way easier to move all of her horse stuff out. 

The stalls were pretty decent. Murry State lets students board their horses there even if they are not members of the equestrian teams.

They also had two foals which were very cute! Part of the curriculum was to be on foal watch with the students taking turns.

There were also some friendly barn kitties!

Overall it looked like a very cool place to study and very nice barns. Plus they have a horse as their mascot!
