The Horseman Rides Again!

As promised, here’s a better photo of the Headless Horseman’s horse (he’s actually jet black, but the flash washed him out).  If you choose to believe the ghost story was just a hoax perpetrated by Brom Bones, then you can call this horse Daredevil.   This was my first horse doll as well as the first time I experimented with an armature.  There’s always room for improvement, but I think he came out pretty good.

I had plans to put a saddle on him, as well as a face plate and fancy reigns.  But in the end, I decided the Headless Horseman wouldn’t dress his steed in a bunch of fancy doodads.  And the saddle would be obscured by the rider anyway.  So what you get is a basic horse with just a bridle and reigns.  Below is a photo of the horse with his rider.  Check my last post for work in progress photos.
