Grey Bucking Bronco

Sande sold me her great Bucking Bronco at Happy Trails.

It's my second one, but they are variations. This one has grey hooves while my other one has pink ones.

Grey Bucking Bronco, #191, 1966 only, $$25, Sande Schneider at Happy Trails 2, 6/2019

Smoke Belgian

This big, ol' "bubble butt" Belgian came from Sande Schneider at Happy Trails 2.

Smoke Belgian, $92, 1964 - 1971, $40, Sande Schneider, Happy Trails 2, 6/2019.

He's another one that is in great shape for his age!

The Happy Trails Signing Model

I bought a damaged honey bay FAM from eBay and painted it in gold paint to be the Happy Trails Signature Horse.

I think she turned out pretty in gold

and she certainly has a new purpose in being a signing horse!

Breyer Shetland Pony

I no longer have the black pinto Setland pony that my father gifted me for Christmas about 15 years ago (oh, how I wish I did for the sentimental vale!)

But I do now! I bought one that Sande Schneider had for sale when she came to Happy Trails 2.

Shetland Pony, #21, 1960 - 1973, $15, Sande Schneider, 6/2019.

Gift of a Ucago Belgian (and More!)

Shannon Rodgers (Sterling, IL) gifted me with they lovely Ucago Belgian at Happy Trails.

Usage Belgian, numer unknown, date unknown, gift from Shannon Rodgers, Sterling, IL, 6/2019.

She is absolutely mint - someone has cared for her over the past forty or fifty years!

She has some crazing that shows her age, too.

I love her (she even has the old "arrowhead" blaze as Leslie and I used to call it) and she's going into my china hutch.

Shannon also brought little gift boxes for everyone. Such a thoughtful thing to do!

Gift of a Red Mill Arabian

This beautiful piece was a gift from Liz Cory at Happy Trails 2.

The model is resin (early Red Mills are made from pecan shells), has a neck ribbon, and its original box. Liz found it an an antique shop and decided to gift me with it.
