Misty Meadows Originals
Portrait Models
Portrait models are painted to look like little replicas of your favorite horse. I prefer to work from detailed photos to get a good likeness of the real horse. A great way to commemorate your equine best friend and make great gifts for those horse lovers!
"Charger" National Show Horse Gelding o/b Morgan Glover - Charger is a very special horse to Morgan and he helped her get over her fear of riding after a bad fall.

"Gandy Dancer SF" 18 year old National Show Horse Gelding o/b Danielle Mackey - Gandy & Danielle have been through a lot together and she wanted a special way to remember him.
"Total Chaos" aka Dustybug owned by Tracey was a beloved appaloosa gelding.
"Scoobie" - An Appaloosa portrait model for a holiday for Nadia's tree last year!
This model was very important project for me, she is a portrait model of my own beloved 24 year old Morgan / Arabian pony "Lady Byrd". Lady has been my best friend for over 13 years and I love her dearly.
The stablemate scale resin model pictured here is an "MH Ama" by the talented Mandi Hickman. I did some slight re-sculpting on her face. For more info on the mold see Mandi's website:
