The show Ring
"TSR's Ponte Vecchio""Bruce", as we call him at home, is a powerful and incredibly huge "Equus Maximus" drafter resin, sculpted by Kathy Bogucki. He is painted after a real seven year old (at the time) percheron gelding, who's unusually rosy bay-going-grey coat stood out to me as an artist.
On his first time out, he beat out some of the legendary artists in the hobby; taking 1st place and reserve champion in the drafter division; a complete shock for me, as he was barely complete at the time. Bruce is a steady favorite here at TriStar, and has a permanent home in this collection. "TSR's champagne dream" This gorgeous Verrochio resin by Brigette Eberl, is "McDreamy", an amber champagne Lusitano with gorgeous hazel eyes and appropriate pink mottled skin. He is a highly eye-catching model, that stands out in the show ring.
Relatively new to the ring, he has pinned within the top five at all of his shows, and most recently won the distinguished award of Overall Grand Champion CM/AR! Now proudly owned by Janice Kall! Congratulations Janice!! "Jaegar""Jaegar", is a commissioned piece, that I painted and showed for his owner throughout the 2015 season. He is an "Earthquake" resin, sculpted by Kitty Cantrell, and shown as a Sugarbush Draft.
Jaeger won a small stack of NAN cards, and Western Conference Qualifier tickets, as well as a grand champion in the draft division. He continues to show successfully for his owner, back on the midwest circuit. He is proudly owned and loved by Fran Kafka. |
"Hilary's Mizrahi"Mizrahi.... A mini Scarlett resin, that I spent weeks working on with the hand roaning and every teeny, tiny detail. One of my classic bay roans, and a piece that ultimately paid off for her owner in the show ring. "Miz" won a slew of championships, including two National Top Ten honors, and National Champion in 2012.
Shown as an Ardennes mare, she swept the eastern seaboard, and took all the winnings with her. Miz was sold by her owner in 2014. If you know her current whereabouts, please let us know so we may update these pages with her show history! Thank you! "TSR's zzyzx""Zee", is a one-of-a-kind Breyer "Spirit" custom, whom has had his face completely redone to make him more realistic. The sculpt work was done by Carolyn Boydston, and painted by TriStar.
Always an eye-catching favorite, Zee has earned six NAN cards, and several championships/reserves thus far, along with nifty prizes to boot! He is said to be one of the most 'unique' and 'memorable' horses in the show ring; always an eye-catching bloke that intrigues both judges and spectators alike. He has a permanent home in the TriStar collection. "TSR'S Sweet Serenade"Serenade is a lovely Breyer "Amber" (Kathleen Moody); painted up in pastels to a lovely realistic baby dun. She is a very recent custom, who took Overall Grand Reserve Champion on her first time out!!
She has all of the details that a baby dun would have, including the furry facial swirls on her forehead! Serenade is proudly owned now by Linda Feeley, and her daughter. Congratulations!! "tsr's paradise""Paradise" is a very unique model. He is a Sheryl Leisure "Braveheart" resin, that I fitted up with two Moody "Infinity" wings, and reworked into a stunning 'fantasy' iridescent leopard pegasus.
He has won over 8 NAN cards, plus two championships in Fantasy and CM... Always a steady favorite in the ring, Paradise is perhaps one of my most eye-catching pieces, and most notable here on the west coast. Everyone simply loves him. He is part of my permanent TriStar Collection & show string. |
