The DAH Appreciation Post

Yesterday was my 18th birthday, and I finally got my very first and only Peter Stone Design-A-Horse... Thank you le boyfriend <3

Meet... Emmitt, the PS DAH!

Mmm dapples <3

He has a such sweet face! That little heartshaped snip <3

Taken without flash under very cloudy conditions

He's just sooo beautiful!

He's still a bit dusty, and has a few flaws on him, but they are very minor

Above his eye, there are these weird 2 patches of grey, I am not sure what it is (btw he's dusty)

Random black marks, but they are barely visible unless you're analyzing every detail of the horse

A little bit of paint left overs on the knee

8 pieces of small lint stuck to his paint... The biggest one is definitely noticeable to the "naked" eye.

Random dark stripe, but it's not really noticeable 

There are a few flaws, but some of them are small, and then there's the pieces of lint and the 2 grey patches on his above his eye that are pretty noticeable. But I'm not going to complain, his shading is lovely and overall he turned out to be gorgeous :)
Since, I've missed the deadline for entering the Toronto Model Horse Live Show, I'll hopefully be attending it next year... If they host one again.
I'll still try to show this guy at the show because eventhough he has some minor flaws, his paint job is amazing and the dapples too!

AHHHHHH WE ORDERED OUR Design-A-Horse!

So, as some of you know, Peter Stone is doing the 'The Sub-Zero Sale Event!"....
All the DAHs have a 30% discount (excluding the non-custom chips), when I saw it... I basically freaked out on my boyfriend!
So, we decided to order it... Now, remember how I told you guys how we are going to order the Thoroughbred in Black with brown eyes and a star+small snip and 2 coronet bands on hind legs?
We were not sure (more like I) if we are going to do that one. So, I made a page on this blog with all the colours, markings, moulds Peter Stone offers for DAHs. So le boyfriend and I can go through everything on one page instead of going to a bunch of different links (and so it would be more organized)
Le Boyfriend started to really not like the Peter Stone black colour... and I started reallllllllllly  reallllly loving the Arabian mould... In fact, when I first started to research Peter Stone models, the Arabian was my favourite.
For about an hour we debated on the colours, moulds and markings...
We came up with this:
Colour: Seal bay, liver chestnut, chestnut, sorrel, sooty buckskin, red dun and chocolate palomino.
For Moulds we got: Bushy Mane and Tale Pony, Thoroughbred, Arabian and the Ideal Stock Horse (long tail ver)
Markings: Coronet band socks on hind feet with hoofstripes, Face: Diamond and Small Snip.

Around 30 minutes later, we decided on Liver Chestnut Arabian with DAPPLES, diamond+small snip, coronet band socks on both hind feet with hoofstripes :D

Now, I hope the liver chestnut will be something like:

I absolutely love this colour, I LOVELOVELOVE Deep reds, and if my DAH turns out like that... I will probably cry!

Le boyfriend should be able to receive him sometime in March... But I can't see it until May 1st, and I know if I'm dying to see it now... I will be dying 10000 times more in March!

I am also thinking of potential show names for him.... I was thinking of "Honey Bunny", because there is a somewhat similar shade of honey to liver chestnut and I also call my boyfriend "Honey Bunny"...
I CAN'T WAIT FOR PETER STONE SNEAK PEEK THURSDAYS!!!!

Did any of you guys order a Peter Stone DAH or bought a horse today? (comment below! :))

That's it for this post,

Cheers!
