Gettin' Jiggy Wit It

This gal is hot stuff and one of favorite creations. My daughter Debbie named this one. Usually the other daughter, Andrea, has all the good names. Jiggy started life as the Family Arabian Mare. We like to use them because they are cheap and bountiful in the body boxes. Her first year out in the show ring, she was a pinto, had a hair mane and tail, and her name was "Jagged Edge." She did well at BreyerFest and was NAN qualified, but we just weren't happy with her. We brought her home and lopped off her head. I know it's graphic, but her neck was just too short and the girls hated the hair mane and. After lots of reworking, we added length to her neck and wire reinforcements to her mane and tail. We tried to repaint her a buckskin pinto, but she refusd. After two soaks in the lest oil spa, we gave in and let her be what she wanted to be - a dark (we call it mousy) dun. Our daughters loved her and off she went to BreyerFest 2000. She was again NAN qualified, placing second in cutting. She also did well at "Music City Live," again NAN qualifying for 2001 and 2002. She is live show quality and lots of fun to look at, with so much going on.
