AZHRA ZAHRA - Arabian Mare

AZHRA ZAHRA - Arabian Mare, R.L.R. National Champion. This exquisite model is a “homemade”, out of Porcelain. A winner in many shows in a variety of classes. She is shown wearing one of our original costumes.

AZHRA ZAHRA - Shown here in harness (also “homemade”).

AZHRA ZAHRA - She is shown wearing our “homemade” Western saddle, bridle, and breast collar. Incidentally, this Western outfit won a Best in Show in Leathercraft in a large craft show!

JOKERS THE CHIEF - This was our Tennessee State Champion when shown in their Ceramic/Porcelain competition. Complete with tiny shoes, and a real horsehair mane and tail, from one of our real Champion Arabian horses. He beat out lamps, figurines, plates, etc! He had just started in model showing when fire destroyed our building. He was completely handmade.

MIDNIGHT SNOWSTORM - Tennessee Walking Horse. Another “homemade” beauty, as is all the tack shown. He had a very short career of just a few months, but won R..L.R. National Champion in 1980.

FANTAZIA - The fabulous Hagen-Renaker R/H that was one of the winningest models of all time! She was so exquisite, so beautiful! She’s a chestnut dapple, with a white real horsehair mane & tail, courtesy of a donation from one of our live Champion Arabians! All her tack, even the buggy, we made.

FANTAZIA - Our top-winning Morgan beauty (ok - I know this is the H-R Arab mare mold! We showed her as a Morgan) Some of her many winnings include I.M.F.R. Res. International Grand Champion, D.C.R.H.R. National Top Ten & Legion of Merit, A.M.M.H.R. World Champion & Legion of Merit. She held Championships in many types of performance and halter classes.

CREAMY - American Cream Draft, a “homemade” in Porcelain. A very promising show future ended in the fire; He did win many harness and halter Championships and in 1981 was named E.M.M.C. National Champion.

CREAMY - Another shot of our gorgeous drafter!

EMERALD ISLES KING CHARLES - an original finish Beswick Welsh, disc. In early 1980's. He was just starting in his show career, won the `980 R.L.R National Grand Champion, and was an extremely versatile shower. He’s shown here in a beautiful Parade outfit we made just for him.

GAI-TEZ - a tiny Breyer Stablemate, remade, repainted, and wearing a real horsehair mane & tail from one of our live Champion Arabians! Gai-tez showed in many types of classes, won many Championships, and in 1981 was named E.M.M.C. National Champion. She showed as a Half-Arabian, and was definitely headed for many many more wins!

CAMBRIDGE M’LADY - another “homemade” Porcelain. Although she had shown only in a few shows, she was a multi-Champion in harness and halter. Our props and harness were also homemade.

*COUNTESS DORSAZ - if you showed in the late ‘70's and early ‘80's, you feared that name! An original finish Hagen-Renaker, again with a real horsehair mane & tail donated from one of our live Champion Arabians. I have no idea the number of Grand Championships and Best in Show wins she won, but in just a few years some of her wins were National Champion, Res. National Champion, Top 5 & Top 10 in D.C.R.H.R., M.H.R.A., P.R.M.S.A., L.A.M.H.A., M.W.M.M.A., N.A.M.S.A., and also in N.A.M.S.A., Legion of Merit, and Supreme Ability Award, and N.A.M.S.A. Sectionals Res. National Champion. She did it all for us, and with some cleverly posed photographs, competed in classes her stance normally would have worked against her. Here she’s wearing “homemade” Arabian Costume that we copied from the one our live National Top Ten Costume Champion, Al-Marah Inca Apollo,wore.

*COUNTESS DORSAZ - Another working pose of the great Arabian mare, wearing one of our “homemade” Western outfits.

All the tack and props in these photos were destroyed by fire, with the exception of the buggy and sleigh. Models lost in the fire: CREAMY, EMERALD ISLES KING CHARLES. Damaged: AZHAR ZAHRA, JOKERS THE CHIEF. Unharmed: MIDNIGHT SNOWSTORM, FANTAZIA,, *COUNTESS DORSAZ, GAI-TEZ, CAMBRIDGE M’LADY.

Many thanks to all the judges for the wins over the years!
