I had been working on this pony for six months.
Due to my chronic pain and ailments It seemed like a very long project. My largest and longest(time wise) Project ever.
Spike is her name due to the Sharp ends of pounding stakes that made up her legs sticking out her back for five months. She has a wooden pounding stake frame inside.
Spike Stands 54" (137cm) from ground to ear top. And is Also 54" (137 cm) long,
In horse terms to her withers she is 11 hands high (44 inches)
She is a strong structure and can easily Support up to 120 lbs ..yes I have sat on her!! and no sway back LOL!
Though I don't want people to sit on her, this is for demonstrating she is solid.

How wonderful! I had an idea of also making a horse (my childhood dream too!), but I'm a bit concerned if i make it in the house, that i can get it out through the doors!! we'll see..
