I can't believe it is September already. The last few months have been
quite busy and it seems to have gone by so quickly, but I have loved
being part of the painted pony trail and helping support Horse World on
their ongoing campaign. I have had a few friends and family see my pony
in all her glory, displayed proudly in the Body Shop window. I have had
some lovely comments too, saying that they are so proud of me and that
the design looks amazing, including being told by the campaign leader
that it was one of his personal favourites.
I personally have a few favourites myself which were all my fellow competitors in the design competition. I particularly loved all four ponies I have shown images of to the left. Their designs were all very colourful and inventive. With the cupcake pony I loved how the design was transform to the real model as the cakes were made 3D. I think that this was a great way to decorate and made me want to eat them.
The Olympia pony was a great that has suited the recent events well. I particularly loved how the Olympic rings were made into horseshoes interlinked. The pebbles pony was quite interesting and I respect the person who had to decorate the pony as there was a lot of dots. I also love how the eyes were silver and decorated with gems.
The last pony I liked was candyfloss which was decorated with feathers and gems to make it look like part of a carnival. I particularly loved the big pink headdress.
Being part of the pony trail has been great fun, and I would definitely do it again especially if the ponies were bigger, like the Gorillas that visited Bristol last year.
The competition has inspired me to start
looking at new designs and what I will do next, any ideas!?
If you would like to see my pony there is still 5 days left as the
trail finishes on 7th September. In Bristol Cabot Circus, the Body Shop.
