We finished the first horse today! Here are photos, of Julia putting the finishing touches on some stripes on the saddle blankets.
The weather was threatening rain, so we worked just inside the big open doors of the maintenance shed at the park. The maintenance staff have been really great to us, including building these awesome stands to put the horses on for painting, with wheels to make them easy to move around.
We have learned that many of the colors need multiple coats to look really good. We have also learned that it's tricky to get to some of the nether regions of these horses with a paintbrush. We've learned how to make the eyes looks sparkly, and how to mix a great lime green from the colors we have to work with.
