Mr. Dobbins, owner of the great Appaloosa stallion Bright Eyes Brother, had hired a Name Brand horse artist (my old brain refuses to produce the name, although I know it well) to paint one of the Prewitt GBE QH molds as a portrait.<br /><br />The first pix showed the stallion standing calmly as the artist made the final touches. Then BEB, turned his head and looked curiously at the model. The horse was allowed to approach his portrait, and stood nose to nose -- then he bowed up his neck(you could see the guys around him laughing at his interest-- and then BEB obviously spun around, jerking away from his handler, and blasted the interloper with both barrels! The background showed men in chaos and the fiberglass "BEB"flying into the air! <br /><br />Definite proof of how realistic GBE's sculpture could be. <br />:-D<br /><br />AlphaMarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00915807320378243847noreply@blogger.com
