Today's model is Nemea, on Breyer's Akhal-Teke mold. This model was released in 2023 for Breyerfest that year. The sculpture is by Heather Puleo.

The theme for Breyerfest 2023 was "Driving Forward", and centered the horse's role in human history. Nemea honored the horses who drew chariots in the ancient world, specifically Greece. The colors, patterns, and images displayed on the model are meant to look like black figure pottery.

Black figure pottery was developed sometime before the 7th century BCE. It was made by painting figures and patterns in black or other opaque colors onto the piece, and leaving the background the clay's natural orange color. As someone who loves history and ancient painting styles, I simply had to go for a model that referenced this art.

When I started this blog, I didn't have many models on the same mold as others. I've since ended up with a few doubles, though I haven't done an actual conga yet. I think a conga requires at least three. Or maybe I'm making that up.

WHAT KIND OF DOG ARE YOU.

Dalmatians were supposed to be hunting dogs at the founding of the breed, but what they mostly became bred and used for was carriage dogs.

A carriage dog is a dog whose job it is to run alongside a horse and carriage and prevent anyone from interfering with it. They were excellent carriage security. Nobody could reach up and grab the horses reins, nobody could try to open the carriage door - you could even park with peace of mind

This is also how they became known as firehouse dogs, because fire trucks used to look like this

and i imagine having a carriage dog was very useful to prevent even well-meaning members of the public from doing anything stupid to the equipment or horses while you fought a fire.
