A customised Cob Mare...

...who still needs a name!

Some of you may remember seeing this one up on ebay as a body. I recognised her from someone else's collection and really liked her potential so I popped on a bid and managed to win her for the bargain price of £16 +P&P!
She came to me bald and with a couple of rubs as well as an appaloosa pattern added on with acrylic.

I intended to keep her blanket but wanted to tidy the edges up a bit. As these things often happen, I ended up getting a bit carried away... XD She gained pinking and speckling as well as an extended and slightly more accurate spotting pattern on her blanket, oh and I added some more striping to her hooves.

I mixed up some dark chestnutty mohair with some grey which really suits her.

She doesn't have a tack set of her own yet but I think she really suits the red so her colour scheme is already sorted out.

Now all I need is a name! She's being very cryptic and won't give me any ideas at all! 8-)

  3. Great job, she looks way better! The mohair colors work perfectly. You could name her something with Luck or Chance- she was lucky to find a home with you!

    1. I like that as a name but it just makes me think of a black appaloosa gelding. XD
