No tail yet. Just an airbrushed example of the look I am going for.

Indian Fire

A traditional scale Arabian stallion sculpture in progress. Indian Fire is a resculpted version of Indian Silver in progress. Please refer to pictures of Indian Silver to get an idea of the entire horse.

Due to some casting problems the edition size of Indian Silver has shrunk from an estimated 75+ horses to almost half that. Therefore I have decided to release another version of him.

Indian Fire will have/has a raised head and neck, a new flame like tail, resculpted mane, smaller & slightly repositioned ears (I think they look a bit too far apart here - he is a work in progress), and I have decided to make this guy a talker. Please refer to pictures of Indian Silver to get an idea of the entire horse.

 

 

Thank you. All 20 of the pre orders have now sold.

The remainder of the edition will not be sold until these pre orders have been shipped to their new owners.

 

 

The pre orders are priced at $250. ppd to the USA and Canada.

Elsewhere please add $20. for shipping.

Please email me first to confirm availability. Your payment is due within 7 days. I accept credit cards via Paypal. I'm sorry no time payments at this time. I will accept time payments on future sales.

 

News

1/30/08. The resin master has been completed on schedule and has been shipped to the caster.

 

Please only pay now if you don't mind waiting.

This is very important. Pre orders allow me to fund the molding and other expenses related to production that make the edition possible. I will be limiting the number of pre orders to only 20 horses to avoid extended wait periods. You should only purchase a pre order casting with the understanding that there will be a *significant wait* until the finished resin castings are shipped. Please email  me with any questions you may have before purchasing.

 

Since the number of horses and time between resin shipments varies I am unable to give estimates as to when the pre orders will be ready to ship. Please feel free to email me at any time; I just can't promise I'll have an answer as to when your horse will ship. For my part I am estimating 4 weeks until the resin master is complete. At this point the resin master will be shipped to the caster. I have no control over how long it will take once Indian Fire reaches the caster. This makes it difficult for me to give estimates.

"Hundreds of trainers withdrew their horses from competition at a major Tennessee Walking Horse show last weekend after USDA inspectors arrived on the scene to examine horses for violations of the Horse Protection Act."

 

 

What is soring?

Facts on the industry

Here are a couple facts from the above link:

 

Of the 54 Riders Cup Top Trainers named by the Walking Horse Report in 2007 ONLY 4 had NO SORING VIOLATIONS. The rest shared a total of 204 violations.

 

 

There were 15 HPA suspensions between the 13 honorees recently inducted into the Walking Horse Hall of Fame. One honoree had 6 suspensions. One honoree who had no suspensions was the organist.

 

 

"In 1998, The Tennessean published several articles on the walking horse industry. They interviewed defectors from the world of soring and the big lick. Pamela Reband, a former TWHBEA director, admitted in print to "sanctioning torture for 30 years."

-From the article Sore Winners by Andrew Lang, DVM

Fugly on soring

 

"Matte Pulle of the Nashville Scene” in the October 29, 2003 edition, reports of an interview with a long time TWH trainer that ...  The USDA, which loosely monitors the industry, continues to cite successful trainers for soring-related infractions, including Bill Bobo, who won this year's World Grand Championship at the Tennessee Walking Horse Celebration. Rhoads says that he recently walked into a barn of walking horses and saw 30 of them lying on the ground--a sure sign that they were in too much pain from the abuse to stand up.” - from friendsofsoundhorses.org/horseletter
