erra Pennington started collecting Breyer models like a lot of young girls back in the early 1960s. She spent many hours playing with her Breyers along with her girl friends. As the years passed, marriage and family took front seat and her collection was packed up and put away.
In the early 2000, she was playing on the internet and found Breyer models listed for sale on E-bay and was bitten by model horse bug one more time. In 2003, Terra took her first trip to Breyerfest and learned that you could customize model horses, so she came home from that trip and starting learning all she could on how to customize model horses. Now a few years later she is still learning how to paint, but boy is she having a great time seeing not only Breyer models but resins horses come to life with a little bit of color.
When you ask Terra what is the best part of this hobby and she will tell you it is all the great friends she has made since she has started painting. Without them the hobby and painting would not be as much fun.
You can contact Terra via her website or Yahoo discussion group.
