Sage meets Sage

If you're lucky enough to own a real horse that gets turned into a model horse, you need to take a pictures of the two of them together. 

It's actually a requirement.

As everyone who reads this blog knows, my new girl, Little Colorado Sage, was the inspiration behind this year's Stone Horses NaMoPaiMo prize horse.

My Sage model arrived last week.

Yesterday, I packed her up and took her to the barn.

I gave big Sage an extra good grooming. Then I got out the Stone Horses bow that came with little Olive so long ago. 

It's a little worse for the wear, but still useable.

I tied it into Sage's forelock.

Then it was time to introduce the Sages.

Predictably, big Sage didn't care at all.

"Look, Sage. It's you!"

'Whatever, Mom. Give me some treats."

"Whatever yourself, Sage. Just stand there and look cute."

Thank you so much to Erin Corbett and the entire Stone Horses team for their continued support of NaMoPaiMo and the plastic Braymere portrait mustang herd. I feel so, so privileged to call both Sages my own.
