Felties

Although this is a site for my Julips, I wanted to dedicate a page to the other type of model horse I collect. Felties are hand made horses by Laura Bond. Each is made by hand from scratch and has wired legs, a wool or similar fibre mane and tail, and small bead eyes. Laura paints and sews on details such as hooves, nostrils, socks and dapples so that each one is totally unique. I own four of these beautiful horses and hope to get more in the future.

Bellatrix

Bellatrix is a large horse. She is the only feltie made in this template and therefore is totally unique. Her mane and tail ar brushed yarn and her dapples have been individually painted on. I bought her from Laura's private collection when she needed to make some spaces and I feel privileged to own her.

Mickey

My friend Hannah bought me Mickey, a leggy dapple grey pony, for my fourteenth birthday. He has a lovely wide blaze and is very cute. He is a random horse Laura made to sell and Hannah found him on eBay. I'm glad to be able to give him a home.

Daphne

Daphne is a very cute little palomino mare on the Child's Show Pony template. The wires in her legs are quite soft so she isn't particularly poseable. Laura sold her on a model horse forum a while back and I had to get her, she was just too cute to resist.

Becky

Photobucket

Becky was my first feltie and is also on the Child's Show Pony template. She is a portrait of a mare I used to ride, and the feltie has been haired with brushed yarn for the mane, and some of the real Becky's hair for her tail. Laura didn't miss off a single detail, from the three blond hooves to the strongly dappled belly.
