The DAH arrived!!

Hello everyone!
Long time, no write?
Anyway, my boyfriend received my birthday DAH this morning... He also forgot to hide it before I came over. Once I saw the Peter Stone Horses box... I had to see our DAH.
The box is pretty big... I didn't expect it to be that big, but model horses need protection! He came wrapped up in bubble wrap and a few packing peanuts.
Now, I wasn't able to take any good quality photos because I wasn't even supposed to see him until my birthday... But I took a picture of him with my crappy blackberry camera.

Le beautiful, most precious horse in my entire collection, Peter Stone DAH!
He's a liver chestnut with dapples &  diamond & small snip (it's a heart shaped snip!) on his face and 2 coronets on his hind feet with striped hooves.
He's absolutely stunning! The phone camera doesn't capture his colour properly (it's actually mahogany) and  he still looks beautiful!

He's a bigger than what I imagined him to be. He's around the size of my Zenyatta (who is my tallest horse in my collection). Which was kinda  a surprise, thank god the pony pouch that I made him fits!

He has really nice dapples on his barrel, neck & hips. The pain job is amazing! I fell totally in love with this colour! I'm already thinking up of some names for him

I simply cannot wait to take photographs of him!

I can feel the Peter Stone DAH Addiction already.... Oh well, another DAH will probably happen in a year or two, but I doubt any sooner than that.

I've seen le DAH in the sneak peeks but the picture showed him as more of a brown tone, but when I actually saw him he's more of a reddish tone, so I'm very happy.
Thank you, Emmie <3

Anyway! I hope y'all had a wonderful day!
That's all for this post,

EDIT:
His snip is absolutely adorable! 


Photography Part 3

Went outside today, it definitely feels like spring (yay! Finally!).
Took a few photos (very small amount, I wasn't really in the mood in doing anything today other than sleep).
Tomorrow I'll be going with friends to the movies & we're going to see "300: The Rise of An Empire". It's le boyfriend's and mine monthversary, but since he's in Morocco now... Obviously we're not doing anything. 
I have to admit these last 6 days felt... Empty. Everything I love and do, reminds me of him. The only thing that sometimes doesn't remind me of him is when I sleep and not dream of anything.

Anyway, for the photographs:
"Frosty Diamond"

"Sunshine Glory"

"Magnifique" (aka Baron)

That's all for this post,

Photoshot Day 2

Hello everybody!
Here's some photos that I took today, I know I said in my previous post that I will be taking the Breyer OFStablemates but I've been leaning towards the Schleichs... I haven't done barely any photography with them this part year, so they need a photoshoot!
Schleich OF Paint Horse Stallion, Quarter Horse Mare, Appaloosa Gelding

I love Zephyr so much that I took him again for a photoshoot!

Schleich OF Dartmoor Stallion, "Mischief Managed"

I've had this girl for a while... But she never got a Show Name, but I'll call her "Angel" for now

"Archippos" (Greek, means "Master of Horses")

"Zephyrus" 
The camera ended up focusing on the snow, but I thought this still looked cool... sort of

Caption: "I miss my buddy, RDJ" (RDJ is the Shetland Pony that's in Spain with le boyfriend)
Caption: 'In the wild"
Le Boyfriend sent me a few photos today from his Barcelona & Valencia (Spain) tour:
E.H's Spain 2014 Trip (Barcelona & Valencia)
I have to admit, I am very jealous, but maybe in the far future I'll be able to go to Spain! I hope my honeybunny is having loads of fun, by the looks of it; I think he is! :)

That's all for this post,
Cheers!

It finally felt like spring over here!

Hello readers!
I haven't been blogging much lately... So many things happened during these couple of days like:
- I got accepted
- Le Boyfriend left for his trip to Spain & Morocco (March 5th-15th)
- Tests & assignments, education related things.

Le boyfriend is in Barcelona, Spain right now having the best time of his life (right?) :)
While he's gone, I am able to take this time to "rediscover" myself & etc. But I miss him so much already :(
I did some model horse photography yesterday, the weather was amazing!
But today's weather is cloudy and grim.

Zephyrus aka Zephyr, Schleich 2006 Paint Horse Stallion

His show name is: Zephyrus (le boyfriend names him!)
Barn/Short Name: Zephyr
Named after an Ancient Greek god of west wind (gentlest of the winds and the messenger of Spring)



My boyfriend is such an awesome Namer!

I really don't like watermarking, it ruins the photograph. But since I have found one of my pictures on tumblr being claimed by someone else as theirs... I have to :(

I only took Zephyr for a photoshoot, next time the Breyer Stablemate Sport Horse & Foal will join me :)

That's all for this post,
Cheers!
