Breyer Model of Blitz

Breyer Model of Chesapeake Lightning painted by KD

Today I finished painting a Breyer model of Chesapeake Lightning aka Blitz. I think it turned out really nice. The roan on him was difficult to achieve but overall it closely resembles him.

Blitz one of the most gorgeous Chincoteague Ponies I have ever seen. I love all of my ponies equally but something about that beautiful face of Blitz just melts me. And standing at 14.1 hands tall he is also one of the largest Chincoteagues I have seen. Usually the ponies range from 12 – 13.3 hands high. Not only is Blitz abnormally tall, but he is also very proportionately built. Most Chincoteagues are built more like my Minnow, horse sized head and body but really shrimpy legs (this characteristic is also SUPER cute but it can have its medical drawbacks – note Minnow’s diagnosis of ringbone last year). But no matter what their size and shape I love all Chincoteagues, something about them is just so amazing.

I am currently offering my services to paint a Breyer model of any of my trick ponies, or if you would rather I can paint a model of your horse. For more details click on one of the photos above.
