As a bonus, real horse pictures are included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy name is Karen Prescott. I live in Nampa, Idaho with my Husband, two dogs, four cats, one cow and 11 horses. My love for horses started at an early age and the passion I had for them never wavered. My parents hoped I would outgrow it but instead it just grew. I passed that love on to my daughter and two sons. I started collecting Breyers when I was about six. In the late 1960s, one or two lawn mowing jobs would buy a model horse, and that's how I built my collection. Of course I played with them and broke a few so now I have a collection of horse bodies for customizing. However, I prefer customizing stablemates. From a young age, I showed my artistic talent by drawing horses. I started customizing models in the late 1990s. I attended a model horse pastel clinic taught by Sarah Tregay where I discovered a new best friend and passion: pasteling stablemates. Sarah and I still love getting together and creating what we call new customs. I love trying to match a pastel job with the picture of a real horse. I enjoy selling models I've done. I also do repairs on models or resins that have broken. Sometimes I have to create a new ear or leg but my favorite part is putting color on and watching that primer white horse come to life.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50467452584210,"sku":"9781508824640","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_404d1b29-2728-4f33-b378-efbe93459542.jpg?v=1730131262","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/realistic-horse-coat-colors-beginners-guide-to-painting-models-with-pastels-9781508824640","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
