A long time ago in a galaxy far far away......

A little girl was left with family friends while her mom and older sister attended a funeral. Little did they know that what would happen that night would alter the course of that child's history. For at that home a mystical creature resided in the backyard. A creature with large orange spots on its sides.

The teenage son of the family friend put the child on the creature's back. The child, used to looking up to see much beyond kneecaps was enraptured by the view from above.

And now you know when I first became enraptured with the equine....

That I remember this may be considered incredible when you realize that I was *maybe* 3 years old. My mom started the tradition of getting me a model every year for Christmas - alas, some were Barbie horses. I picked up a few myself in the years following marriage , kids, etc. Nothing major though until winter '99..

I discovered Ebay!

I also discovered there was a thriving community known as "haynet". And then there were all those remade critters I kept stumbling across on Ebay. I determined to find out as much as I could. And now, you're invited to sit back, relax, take your shoes off
