We will be donating a fully articulated equine skeleton to the International Hoofcare Summit to be given away in a drawing to one of the lucky attendees. The “Summit” as we call it is put on by The American Farriers Journal and runs from January 31 through February 3rd 2012 in Cincinatti Ohio. Information on the Summit can be obtained through their website www.americanfarriers.com . We will also be donating four short limbs as well to enhance farrier education and anatomical understanding. We hope to see you there!

This was the center display in the Adequan booth for the 2011 AAEP convention trade show in San Antonio Texas. It was interesting to do this pose because like most movements of the horse they change position every millisecond and I had to choose the moment in time I wanted to portray. This pose like the jumping and landing horse poses created it’s own unique support challenges.

Here is the replacement mount we made for the American Museum of Natural History in New York city. This mount is part of the traveling display THE HORSE and is currently at the International Museum of The Horse in Lexington, Kentucky.

It was a beautiful day and there was lots of help so it became photo day for the museum mounts before they went back into the crates for final delivery. These mounts are made to replicate the poses done by Samuel Harmstead Chubb for the American Museum of Natural History in New York City in the early years of the 20th century. Missing is a human skeleton to stand with the rearing horse as he had to have his skull reworked so I had to leave the rest of him in the shop. I will get a photo of the rearing and man pose when we install them in Lexington next week!
