Spring Pony Debra aka ponywuvv aka Bossmare	Judge 1 Lovely overall effect and presentation...and what detail work...! Judge 2 no comments were made Judge 3 Again the “WOW” factor!! Absolutely emotionally moving for me..love the rock base and real mane and tail…the iridescent finish is magical…again not being an artist I could not appreciate all the wonderful detail given in the pony story..but a real winner!!! Judge 4 Beautiful Pony. It is obvious that a lot of thought, planning and detail was needed to produce this pony. I wish you'd used a lighter background for your pictures but that's not what I'm judging. I appreciate you explaining your techniques to accomplish your finished pony. Grand Champion This pony was chosen to be Grand Champion out of the the two first place ponies. Judge 1 and 3 placed Spring Pony as GC. Judge 4 placed Caballo as GC Judge 2 and Judge 5 unresponsive
Border Pony Tamera	Judge 1 Beautifully painted, and I love the horses face with the border collie placement of black. Overall, a very dramatic and bold presentation. Judge 2 no comments were made Judge 3 I loved this pony concept of making the pony the same colors and markings as a border collie..I can see how tedious the dog head would be, but I think it turned out great. Judge 4 I love the painted pony itself resembling the Border Collie markings. You did an excellent job of making the Border Collie come alive and it looks like a photograph, well done. Judge 5
Of Wings and Feathers Annette	Judge 1 Very nice placement of everything on the pony; I love the gold and the iridescent green together-would love to see a pony using just the two colors. The only negative: the birds at the bottom take away from the pony a little to me. Judge 2 no comments were made Judge 3 For me the best pony story introduction…loved the butterfly, but not as sure about the base…this would be difficult to reproduce as a figurine with winged birds on the base…but I love the concept and the thought behind it. Judge 4 I love the concept of this pony and all the hard work of painting the different birds on it. Your embellishments are a nice touch but may be a little out of proportion to the rest of the birds painted on the pony itself. Judge 5

Caballo de Oro Jennifer	Judge 1 Beautifully painted, love the face and sculpted mane and tail; almost expect it to jump out of the computer Judge 2 no comments were made Judge 3 This pony has the “WOW’ factor…flashy…and beautifully done…love the color…and those of you who know me know I am a “head” person…the eyes and muzzle on this one really moved me…the redone mane and tail are gorgeous…I could definitely see this pony being reproduced…always being asked for palomino ponies…we have very few!!! Judge 4 Stunning pony, very detailed, love the dapples and four white socks as well as the remold. The horse painted on the base is a very nice detail. Love the beautiful palomino color. Judge 5
Wrangler Fabienne Leydecker	Judge 1 Very nice overall presentation with lots of work in the sculpting, like the way the base is done. Judge 2 no comments were made Judge 3 This pony caught my eye the minute I opened the email…It was tough to place this one second…very striking and I love all the detail on the pony and the base…again a color that the trail could use…speaking as a retailer… Judge 4 I really love buckskins and I myself love to embellish with saddles, bridles, blankets etc. You can tell a lot of work was put into this pony but needs something more to finish it. Judge 5
Circus Pony Jesse	Judge 1 Very dramatic looking, and i love the painting work on the base. Judge 2 no comments were made Judge 3 Wish this would have had a story with it…I did some searching on the internet as I had little knowledge of Sitting Bulls Circus Horse…I love the detailed painting on the pony and the base…I was just a little lost about the tiger cub… Judge 4 This pony is so cute, love the detail. I wish you would have sent a front picture. Should name it "Cat Dancing". Brings back fond memories of the circus horses when I was child. Judge 5
Driftrose Stephanie	Judge 1 Very dramatic looking, and I love the painting work on the base. Judge 2 no comments were made Judge 3 I liked the written intro to the pony..not being an artist I would have loved to know the process used on this pony to get the marbling effect if that is what it is called Judge 4 Beautiful Pony, had me guessing on how it was done. Would have loved a driftwood base to complete the theme. Your style and technique are exceptional. Judge 5
