I have had real horses all my life since I was 5 till about 4 years ago. I grew up on a farm till I was 16, which was when we moved into town. I hated it because I couldn't be with my horses...I always spent every waking moment with them. When I was older I had a few big falls and the last one I was rushed to the capital city because I broke so many bones. My husband made me get rid of my last two, and I hate being without a horse...I have a hole in my heart that only a horse can fill.

I am ex Air Force and have also worked on a RAAF base as a public servant...still doing the same job I did in the Air Force, but I was doing the work of all ranks, however, was not recognised for it. I left work eventually due to MS symptoms that were exacerbated due to working with bullies.

I am 52 years old and do my best to enjoy what life has to offer. I am an incredibly positive thinking person and love to slow down and appreciate life. As well as MS, I also have Fibromyalgia, Asthma and COPD. I have other things too, but I do my best to cope. I don't let my illnesses stop me from living. I just had to learn there are some things I can't do anymore.

I have had several animals and still mourn for them, even the ones that have been gone for many years. I am an empath, so I mourn deeply and for a long time. I have been so lucky to have 3 special animals in my life that absolutely had my heart and my soul, and I had theirs. One was my first horse, another was my first black cat, and then my last dog. I have her ashes, hair, footprint and photos next to my bed as I can't bear to move them out with my other dogs who have a special place in my lounge room. Those 3 were my soulmates and the bonds were complete.... I miss them all every day. I am so lucky to have had 3 in my life!

My husband is also my soulmate...I knew the moment I saw him. I didn't want to date anyone as I was sick of males, but I had no choice with him...I knew he was my forever. We have been married for 32 years. I was 18 and he was 19 when we met.

I had a very cruel upbringing and have been estranged from my mother for all of my adult life. I am extremely close to my dad now but when I was growing up, he never had anything to do with me because he believed girls should be in the house and only boys get to drive tractors. I have 4 younger brothers, 3 are quite a bit younger than me, and their lives have all been fucked up thanks to our mother.... but they keep going back to her. However, it is not my place to say anything to them as they are all adults, and it is their lives.

I have been collecting model horses for over 20 years. The reason is they didn't have Breyers or Peter Stones in Australia to purchase. They now have Breyer but that is it. I used to collect Barbie horses, and pretty much anything horse. lol. My husband used to buy me Beswick Horses for my birthday for a while, so I have a few of them. My real love in the hobby though is artist resins, and I love Mules! Oh, and I love to chat with people. :) I have an addiction to buying model horses and I really need to slow down. lol

I'm Carie Elizabeth Belec Passmore. I'm 43 and horses are a part of me. I've been infatuated with horses ever since I can remember.I got my first horse when I was 11, and she was a palomino quarter horse named Lee Dandy Bar (Dandy). I was raised around cutting horses and then an equine specialist came down from New York, Renee Momot Hall, and showed me the ropes and gave me lessons. If it wasn't for her I would have never been the trainer I am today. People say I have a talent with them so I won't let God down and I'll use it to the fullest of my capabilities to help horses get over bumps in their life and exercise them and to help people be safe and happy and full of love.

I have had Breyer horses since I was 5 and my first one was the rearing white Pegasus. I have showed 4-H, AQHA, AHSA, and open shows. I've ridden and shown in English, Western, Hunter Jumper, and have an array of awards ,but my favorite trophy is my AQHA Youth All Around trophy.

I went to the Army in 1999 and became a medic at 17 and got back and crossed over to trail riding and a discovered gaited horses! They are so comfortable to ride on the Trail of tears in The Great Smoky mountains of Andrews,North Carolina. I've worked on and off for the last 30 years at Horseshoe Creek Riding Stables.

I have a service dog named Harley Quinn and she is a blue and white American Staffordshire Terrier. My cat,Halo,is my emotional support animal.

Henry Target and Rambo are my three favorite horses. Henry was my advanced show horse bred to be a roping horse he was the best hunter jumper I have ever ridden. He never refused to fence and I could ride him with no bridle over an 8 fence course. He was liver chestnut with a white star overshadowed with a black star and 16.2 hands. Target was rescued Premarin yearling I started training when he was three and skittish. He turned out to be my best friend and we had and unshakable bond. He is a huge chestnut and white overo and had a big brown circle around his left eye, hence his name,Target.

When he retired Rambo came into the picture and he is a Rocky Mountain Horse. I learned to ride gaited horses and to my amazement I loved it. You feel like you're in a gliding rocker and your feet just dangle and they're moving at a good gait and you don't feel like it's that fast or have gone that distance. When I ride Rambo he's a perfect gentleman. He is a horse I trust with my life and we can do anything together. He is a chocolate and blond mane and tail. He is still my lead horse and best friend and I am still his human and I always will be.

I draw horses and have done so ever since I can remember, and I am an avid collector of breyer horses. I've always had something to do with horses. I am trying to help EquineCreations happen. I've done so many things with my life but I always come back to horses. My motto is: inside the horse's soul is the heart of a human. I appreciate being a part of the Suenta Guild. I want to get the big thanks to all the people who run it.I know it's hard work and I'm very proud and happy for you all.

Hello! My name is Catherine Sullivan and I am the face behind Buttercup Barn Studios. I started my business because I adore art – of all kinds – but found my niche in model horses. I find myself the happiest when my projects start to come together with new life to them. ​

I use a variety of mediums in my work and have experience with all of them outside of 3D art as well. For model horses I primarily use hand painted acrylics, airbrush acrylics, pastels, pearl powders, and Windsor and Newton ink. I also occasionally use oils although I prefer acrylics because I enjoy how fast they dry. I have experience with all of these mediums on 2D art as well as I have been drawing since I could hold a pencil. ​

I specialize in customization of models - sculpting and painting - as well as digital art and acrylics/watercolors. I have a bit of experience in a lot, though, as I’ve always been very crafty!

Beyond being an artist, I also collect! I like to think I’m just a dragon in a human disguise as I love my item/object hoards and get very excited when I find my grails.
I love writing as well, though I’ve largely taken a pause on it as I work on my painting and sculpting work. My favorite story of all time is The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle!

Resources: I always recommend joining hobby Facebook pages - I’ve learned the most from the community!

Tips: Do not be afraid to jump in headfirst. It’s a huge learning curve, but if you’re passionate, the knowledge will come with practice! Art takes time and experience - with those two ingredients, anyone can make a masterpiece!

Fact About You: One of my first words was horse, although I said it like “ORSE!” As we passed a pasture of them.

Favorite Real Horse: Secretariet seems like a basic answer, but it’s true, I love him dearly! Second would be Asombro who was saved by Rocking R Rescue

Some rescue photos are difficult to look at. It is a glimpse of harsh reality. Please support this rescue effort with your donations or even kind words. Words of support cost nothing and mean so much. They are doing a daily job that is overwhelming for most of us. It’s nasty, it’s heartbreaking, and it’s a reality that most people leave for someone else to take care of.

Seunta witnesses their efforts regularly and they have my unwavering support and love.

You’ll never starve again.
You’ll never hurt again.
You’ll never feel lonely and unloved again.

And when time comes

To hold you and
make you feel loved.

Hi There! I'm a UK artist that loves to draw, animate and work on a few aspects of model horses from customising to repairs. I rejoined the hobby back in 2016 and haven't managed to escape since! I absolutely love my work as a model horse artist, watching how my work has progressed since late 2016 and meeting so many amazing people along the way within the hobby. It has and continues to be a humbling experience, even more so when working with others to customise their models the way they envisioned.

I always wanted a horse as a kid, but it unfortunately never happened. As a result, I started collecting Breyers as a kid. I stopped collecting and sold my horses in 1998 when I went off to college.

I didn't get back into collecting again until around 2018. I found a palomino Marwari Breyer at an antique mall and thought "Wow! These aren't the horses I grew up with!" The paint job and sculpt were so beautiful. My hubby bought me that Marwari and encouraged me to get back into collecting.

After a while I decided to give myself the power of making horse colors I wanted, and got into customizing. In January of 2021 I joined NaMoPaiMo and painted my first model horse. I finally found the thing that makes me most happy on the inside and I am never going back! I have a lot to learn but it never gets old talking to other artists and learning new things. And I know enough stuff that I can help others too. It's so rewarding!

What are your talents or specialties?: Painting, Collecting, Customizing

Resources: Customizing Model Horses: Painting and Etching by Ashley Konichek. I got this book when I first started thinking about customizing and it is basically my Bible for customizing. I refer to it ALL the time!

Tips: If you're a new artist - don't judge your work by comparing it to others that have been doing it a long time. Comparison is the thief of joy.

I customize models I enjoy. I have been collecting since a very young age. I started out with she-ra and He-man horses. The crystal ones at about the age of 4 or 5. Then moved in with my mom at about 9 or so. I then got into the Live Horses. Been hooked every since. I had a palomino walking Hartland had all his legs broke at the knees but he still ran as good as any with all their legs. I would sneak play with my moms Breyer horses. Favorite was the Chestnut Splatter Appy QH. besides other horse figurines to play with was funrise, then Grand Champions. Then got my first Traditionals Justin Morgan and Chestnut Pinto SHS. My BFF and I started painting horses to colors we wanted. That's when it all started for customizing. Just for our fun.

I then just collected as I seen them had over a Hundred or so. Then found out that they were actually Customized and sold. Then wonderful new doors opened for getting into selling them too in 2000. I have done trial and error with techniques. Paint colors and went from being scared to death to work on a broken horse to totally chopping them up.

This is a little Bit of who I am. No matter how many times I have tried to walk away from my Models and painting. But I have always came back to painting customizing. I totally enjoy seeing all the wonderful comments and all my Happy Customers of my customs. Thank You to all who have helped me make this a wonderful journey for me.

Hi! My name is Jody and I have been a Breyer model collector and hobbyist since 1965. I began painting and customizing back in about 2005 after I had retired from my 40 year career as a horse and dog trainer and I had moved into my elderly parents home to care for them in their declining years. During that time I began dabbling in custom models. I had always sketched and painted in flat work, so model painting fit smoothly into my hobby addiction! I didn't open my studio and website to the public until 2017 though. Now I am a full time model painter and love every minute spent in my studio. I paint Artist Resins and Plastics for resale and do Commissions and Portrait models as well. Thank you for considering my work!

My name is Julie Brooks, and I have been customizing and painting model horses since 1997. I mostly prefer to work with traditional scale models, and my favorite medium is airbrushed acrylics, although I do use earth pigments and oils from time to time as well. I have created two original sculptures, one of which has been cast by Seunta. I have four real horses and enjoy trail riding.

I’ve been collecting Breyer models since I was nine. My first models were the classic mustang sets sold at Walmart. I was around twelve when I painted my first custom model. It was a blue roan G2 morgan stablemate. I still have that model today and it is a reminder of how far I’ve come as an artist.

For me, customizing combines my love of horses and art. I love the world of model horses and enjoy a little bit of everything; painting, sculpting, tack making, showing, etc. In 2021 I began customizing models full time. I especially love working with stablemate scale models. I’ve recently started sculpting my own models and look forward to releasing some resin editions in the future.

I have been painting most of my life. Love what both nature and this hobby has given me to produce these horses. Started with water base paints, but found over the years that oil paint really brings the model to life. There is a certain glow to them I also enjoy painting dogs & cats. Love seeing people enjoy the models at the shows and at their homes on the shelf.

Horses have been in my life since I was three. I started painting ceramic carouse animals about 21 years age. Then I saw my first custom Breyer and thought I can do that and that led to resins and here I am painted resin horses but I do painted carousel animals when I have the chance..I am also a volunteer with protection at Gettysburg National Military Park..

Priscilla Andrews has been involved in art in one way or another all of her life. She stated drawing as soon as she could hold a pencil, and drew horses before she drew her name. She started collecting Breyer and Hartland horses in the 1970’s as a young girl, and after a 30 year hiatus for college, raising kids and her career, she is now back customizing model horses.

Priscilla is also a portrait artist, doing commissions of dogs, horses and people. She also judges art contests, including judging the drawing and painting classes at the Nebraska State Fair. Her years in veterinary school have helped her in her art because her knowledge of how animals are put together on the inside help guide her customizing on the outside.

Priscilla lives in the Nebraska Sandhills, a World Heritage Site and the only place of its kind in the world. Miles and miles of a thin layer of grass cover sand dunes, providing excellent forage for cattle. There are millions of head of cattle in the Sandhills, but not very many people or cities. Priscilla takes much of her artistic inspiration from life in the Sandhills.

Priscilla and her husband Brett recently sold their veterinary clinic and they are now retired. She has the opportunity to give even more time to her various forms of art and she enthusiastically looks forward to a life filled with wonder and joy in her art that includes customizing model horses.

Crazy Cat Kitten Rescue

Some rescue photos are difficult to look at. It is a glimpse of harsh reality. Please support this rescue effort with your donations or even kind words. Words of support cost nothing and mean so much. They are doing a daily job that is overwhelming for most of us. It’s nasty, it’s heartbreaking, and it’s a reality that most people leave for someone else to take care of.

Seunta witnesses their efforts regularly and they have my unwavering support and love.

To each beautiful soul that is saved…
You’ll never starve again.
You’ll never hurt again.
You’ll never feel lonely and unloved again.
You’ll never feel scared and unwanted again.

We will never betray you.
We will always protect you.
And when time comes
we’ll be right next to you
To hold you and
make you feel loved.

"The Blue Book of Peruvian Paso Bloodlines"

"The Peruvian Paso and His Classic Equitation"

"Horseback Across Three Americas"
Winner of the 2021 Best "Equine Journey" Literary Award at EQUUS Television's EQUUS Film and Arts Festival!

Travel with Verne Albright on his famous Peru-to-California ride. Cringe as he encounters vampire bats. Feel apprehension as he’s chased by bandits, and when he rides into Nicaragua days after a violent revolution. Be there when a road grader driver tries to run him and his horses down. Experience the tension of facing malaria, typhoid, cholera, and bubonic plague. Come with him across the Peak of Death, where travelers have frozen to death standing. Feel his anxiety when he becomes a fugitive from the law in Mexico. And meet countless fascinating people including a witch doctor, bandits, a smuggler, a bullying sheriff, and a beautiful American girl named Emily.

Verne Albright has hundreds of articles and three books about Peruvian Paso horses to his credit. For years, he was the editor of the Peruvian Horse World magazine and its successor, the Peruvian Horse World Review. He was also the founder of the American Association of Owners and Breeders of Peruvian Horses.

During the breed's invasion of the United States in the 1960's and 70's, he arranged for the importation of over 250 head. His trips to Peru number more than 65, and he's been made an honorary lifetime member of the Asociacion Nacional de Crisdores y Propietarios del Caballo Peruano de Paso, the national breeders association in Peru.

Verne has been a friend of Seunta for several years. Fabrizio & Sherry were honored to make a portrait of his favorite mare "Hamaca".

Verne chose a sitting position for Hamaca to reflect his favorite memory during his horseback ride across the Americas. Hamaca would sit down in protest at times. There is one special photo that Verne likes to recall... a photographer had come to take photos of his journey and Hamaca would have none of it - she sat down in protest and her response was captured forever in the photo.

Favorite real horse: Hamaca
