Breyer Photo Shoots

********************************

I was going through my photos, and found these pictures from early last year. At that time I mostly did Stablemates, so the horses featured here are the SM singles Welsh Cob, the blue roan pony, grullo Mustang, and a palomino mare that I don’t know.

********************************

And here are some that I got behind my barn. I started getting decent pictures from now onward, so these and the ones above are the earliest good ones. Featuring Dungaree, the yellow dun cantering warmblood, the Welsh Cob, and a palomino mare and foal and a bay foal that I don’t now the names of.

********************************

And two randoms. Featuring the Schleich Friesan stallion and the Clydesdale mare.

********************************

More from behind my barn.

Featuring the SM Yellow Dun Warmblood mare and the Appaloosa Warmblood mare, the Schleich Knabbstrupper mare, the SM Blue Roan Highland pony, and a bay and palomino foal that I don’t know.

********************************

To introduce this page and the star: this page is for all the pictures of all the places I’ve been.(mostly, since I’ve been to way more and just haven’t taken pictures or were not allowed to) and the star is Jack, the 2016 Schleich Clydesdale gelding. So, let’s begin!( At the bottom of the page are the ones from awhile ago, and get newer as you go up.)

********************************

And this is a view of one side of Trier from the Black Gate. It’s a nice town to look over on.

********************************

This is the Black Gate in Trier Germany, built by the Romans. This isn’t all of it, but it was too big to fit in the picture.

********************************

This is the cemetery for all the American soldiers who dies in that area in World War Two. It’s in Luxembourg, a very small country bordered by Germany, France, and Belgium. General Patton is buried there. The cemetery holds over 5,000 graves.

********************************

And here we are at the Rothenburg Christmas market. And it’s the 14th! We just went to one yesterday!! But it was pretty cool, and I got to get my sister’s present there.

********************************

This is Rothenburg. It’s really cool because the entire town is surrounded the old town wall from somewhere around 1274.

********************************

And this is the Thurn and Taxis Christmas market. This was definitely the best market. It was really big, and had some different things than the other ones.

********************************

St. Peter’s Cathedral in Regansburg, Germany. Definitely stop by if you’re ever passing through.

********************************

And look, this is an older one! This is us at our Christmas market in Lupburg. It was dark, so photography wasn’t very good.

********************************

First of is the Hohenfels Army Base Christmas market. I’m pretty sure this is the first time I brought Jack along and got a picture. But, if I find an older one, I’ll specify the date.

********************************

This is Gylfie and Lyze. As you can see, they are both missing a hind leg. Gylfie is the Appaloosa missing the right hind leg, and Lyze is the grey missing the left hind leg. So, they are both going to get prosthetic legs. We’ll see if the operation is successful!

********************************

Here are the beginnings of the legs……..

********************************

Here is Gylfie’s almost complete leg. I just need to add the front, straps, and padding.

********************************

And it’s complete! Gylfie is taking to it quite well, and seems very happy. It has three buckles, as you can see. I’ll add more pictures of her without on.

********************************

And this is Lyze’s completed leg. He needed his leg sooner that Gylfie, so I made his fast and forgot to take pictures! But, he’s doing well now.

********************************

Look who we’ve taken in! I found this little guy in a basket of toys at the thrift store. He too has a broken leg, (hence the reason he’s leaning on Lyze) and so we’re going to give him a hoof!

*******************************

I’ve cut the dowel for his leg….

********************************

Checking the fit. He has made friends with Gylfie and Lyze, and they won’t leave him by himself anywhere!

********************************

OK, I have cut out his hoof and painted the dowel silver. Also, Friend time!

********************************

Checking the fit with the hoof, and trimming the hoof as needed. Almost done!

********************************

The leg with the top part of the brace….And, it seems to fit very well! All I need to do is add is the buckle!!

********************************

And it’s done!! Oh my goodness, he’s adorable! And he will be sitting on the wounded warrior shelf until I build my vet/rescue barn. I honestly thought I wouldn’t ever add anything else to this post, but I was apparently wrong! In fact, I am now starting a Breyer Rescue Service. I think the facility will be called “New Hooves, a Home and Second Life for Equines.” Or something like that. So, here I go with another project!

********************************

Here are the Schleich animals. I am currently building a Schleich farm.                             Featuring the Schleich Shropshire sheep and lambs, Sheep, ram, and lamb, the Holstein cows, the Icelandic mare, and the Simmental cows.

ALL pictures were taken be me and are enedited. Please do not use any on my pictures.

********************************

Just a couple Schleich photos. Featuring the Clydesdale gelding, Ardennes stallion, Black Forest stallion, Tennessee Walker stallion, Fell pony mare, and the Icelandic mare.

********************************

First photo shoot with Rhapsody and the Collecta! And, we saw blue sky and sun for the first time in over two weeks! Featuring Rhapsody in Black, Banks Vanilla, Collecta Fjord stallion, Shire mare, and Dartmoor Pony stallion.

ALL of these pictures were taken by me and are unedited. Please do not use any of my pictures.

********************************

Finally, a photoshoot! First one of the new year, and I’d say it’s a success! I drove out to this spot, and it’s on the side of the road. Unfortunately, everyone driving by could see me and probably thought, “what is the crazy kid doing?” But, it was so worth it! Featuring the Collecta Fjord stallion, and Breyer Valentine and Heartbreaker, the  silver dun Treasure Hunt Horse, the Gypsy Vanner, Banks Vanilla, and Rhapsody in Black.

********************************

It’s been FOREVER! But, I finally went on a photoshoot with my friend. I give credit to her for letting me use her horses and for bringing me out to this spot. Thanks to her!

Featuring the Knabbstrupper stallion, Knabbstrupper mare, Fallabella gelding, Andalusian mare, and the Akhal Teke mare.

These photos belong to me and my friend. Do not use them. They are all unedited.

********************************

These are mostly pictures from castles. Yes, castles. I live in a part of Germany where there are a lot castles. I have found that that are some of the best photography places ever. Not a lot of people come to them, so I don’t have to worry about people calling in saying that there’s a crazy person in the castle!

Featuring Big Chex To Cash, Valentine, Reflectios Mestèno, SM Mare (I don’t know her official name) Schleich Paint Stallion, Schleich Paint Mare, and SM Welsh Cob.

********************************

Just a couple from Lupburg castle. Featuring Northern Dancer.

********************************

So, this is why I haven’t put anything up in a week. This tack set was the biggest pain on the planet. But, I really like it. I’ll put pictures up on my tack page later.

Featuring the Schleich Icelandic mare, Heartbreaker, Zenyatta’s first foal, and the warehouse find chestnut mare.(I think)

********************************

Just two. That aren’t very good though. Featuring the Silver Dun Sabino Treasure Hunt horse.

********************************

I finally went on another photoshoot! It was a beautiful day all day long, and so I got to go out multiple times.

Featuring the Schleich Friesan stallion, Rhapsody in Black, the Silver Dun Sabino Treasure Hunt Horse, Mestèno: The Dawning, Banks Vanilla, and the new Breyer Icelandic stallion, but I don’t know his name.

P.S. these pictures weren’t taken in a castle,  But the other ones on this post were.

********************************

ALL pictures were taken by me and are unedited.please do not use any of my pictures. All tack shown was made by me.

So, just a couple more photos. These were taken on a walking trail about 5 minutes from my house. It started out cold and cloudy,but ended up being beautiful and sunny. Not much warmer though!                                                                                  featuring the classic Quarter Horse mare, Big Chex To Cash, Valentine, and the 2014 classic Horse Of The Year.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

And more pictures! But, it was a beautiful day, sunset, and I’ve been sitting in the car for 3 hours. How could I pass this up?

Featuring the Gypsy Vanner Stallion, Smokin Double Dutch, Toro, the Highland pony, and Jet Run.

********************************

Just one wierd picture.

********************************

So, just a couple of photos before the rain. I went to a walking path and discovered this place! I’ll definitely be returning.                                                                            Featuring Big Chex To Cash, Valentine and Heartbreaker, Gypsy Vanner Stallion, Babyflo, Little Texas, and the Classic Quarter Horse mare.

********************************

Just a couple before the rain! The lighting isn’t the best, but the sky looks pretty cool. Featuring Valentine and Heartbreaker, and the Irish Draft.

********************************

Glorious day!! It was sunny, not windy, and beautiful!! So, I took advantage of it. Photo shoots  in the morning and afternoon! Featuring Jubilation, Big Chex To Cash, Banks Vanilla, Rhapsody in Black, and Reflections Mestèno.

********************************

Frost frost and more frost! It was a beautiful sunrise and I just had to get out there.                                                                              Featuring Banks Vanilla, the Gypsy Vanner Stallon, Schleich Percheron stallion, Fjord stallion, Shire Stallion, and Icelandic mare.

beautiful sunrise

********************************

Snow! It was so beautiful. Unfortunately, it was 7 inches deep, so my horses just sunk right in. But, I still got a couple. Featuring Argyle, Elska, chestnut mare, and the Schleich Friesan stallion.

********************************

Yes, they are cows. But, how cute are cows!?

********************************

It’s ten o’clock in the morning, frosty, and twenty two degrees. So what better day to go on a  photo shoot! And besides, I had to go and get some pictures with Sleek. Featuring the Silver Dun Sabino Treasure Hunt silver, Toro, the Gypsy Vanner Stallion, and Rhapsody in Black.
