Iaret Egyptian Arabian Mare by Morgen Kilbourn

Iaret by Morgen Kilbourn

Introducing “Iaret” A feisty striking and half rearing young Egyptian Arabian mare in classic scale sculpted by Morgen Kilbourn. She is named after her pose, which is represented in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs as a striking cobra. There’s quite a bit about it out there online under Egyptology discussions (and not all of it in agreement) and I wouldn’t want to misquote anything! Suffice to say that this defiant little mare embodies the noble bearing of a young queen who is displeased and demanding respect.

Due to this particular pose representing an extremely tense and quick movement horses make when greeting each other and establishing hierarchy, I’ve decided it might be best if I share a number of videos to give buyers a feel for the movement in action. It’s quite hard to photograph but anyone who’s had their upper fence boards knocked down from over the fence greetings can appreciate how quickly it happens. Three quick videos of this can be found here. Horses make this behavioral gesture in all sorts of situations to display defiance.

Iaret is $165.00 postage paid in the United States see her page on Morgen’s website for more information and payment options.

“People’s Choice Creative Resin Scenes”

The Contest:

Owner submits one photo of any resin sculpted by Morgen that they themselves OWN in a “scene” of sorts. Note however, winners from last year are not allowed to resubmit the SAME horse/entry that won last year. The horse may be photoshopped into the scene or the scene may be staged and photographed. There are no imposed criteria for the theme of the scene. I can hope that folks will use their creativity to come up with realistic or fun and festive scenes, but the goal is to make an outstandingly creative. Ideas I’d bounced around were “festive” and “spooky” and “realistic” or “surrealistic”… in the end I decided to leave it all open to entrant creativity!

Voters will be asked to select their favorite entry sooo get those creative juices flowing! Then, after entry submissions close, the people of the hobby will get to vote via polls on the winner!

PRIZE LIST FOR 2009 SCENE CONTEST

1st Prize:

To the owner/entrant: 2 discontinued mini resins: 1 “Flitwick” and 1“dinky duke” (postage inside the US included)
