If you can't have a real horse, the next best thing is a model horse. And if you can't have the real Peter Gabriel, make crappy Paint composites of him riding to the rescue. If the rock star gig ever falls through, he could make a good cowboy.I used to be heavily into the model horse hobby and stupidly sold or gave away 99.9% of my models before moving to England. Now that I'm back in Philly, I'm gradually buying some replicas of my childhood Breyers using money I get from writing about model horses.
(My aplogies to Appaloosa on Flikr, whoever you are, for altering your original photograph of a live show display.)
