I decided that the greatest gift I could give my grandchildren is a Heritage. Every family gets one of these horses for Christmas when the first child is born. This makes the 4th horse I have done. Each horse is named after a candy. Technically this horse goes to my niece who lived with us for 5 years. That still gives me 3 more horses to complete. We have 7 kids (3 of mine, 4 of hers) & grandchildren so far!. A few things learned ... let your wood dry for about 2 months prior to cutting... The pattern is available @ http://www.woodcraftplans.com/osc/

Todd,

Those are way cool!

I bet the kids love them.

Awww that's just fantastic

I did the same. First came "Clyde" for my grandson

Then came another grandchild...........a girl.  This one I designed from several others, making it as girly aa

I could

Very cool .. I did the stock horses for our house ... "The Twins"

I went back to look at your horse again and was surprised at my lack of response toward your workmanship and work quality.

That was my intention, but somehow I forgot or hit "add reply"  thinking I had said how I felt about your project.

That is one beautiful job!! Even the finishes, colors and trim are outstanding. I envy all your future grandkids and their horse. I don't think that model was available when I built mine, it sure would have been #1 on my list. I would have been happy if mine turned out half as good as yours.

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Todd,

Sorry to be late to the party.

Gumdrop is one great looking horse. You details are wonderful. That saddle looks really comfy and those horseshoes are adorable.

Great job. The kids will love it.

What a wonderful legacy that will live long after you're gone.  Well done my friend.

What a great gift from the heart.  Sure will beat one of those electronic devices that will take them away from reality
