Default Dobbin the horse

This is carving out side the box for sure.I've never carved a horse before and it was a challenge.When i was a small child we had a pony name Dobbin.When you would try to get on him he would bite you any where he could.It was always fun to trick the neighbor kids into trying to get on him Ha ha .Hes 4 1/2" tall.

Thank you all for the nice comments.I found the pattern in a book from the libary.The name of the book was Whittling by Bill Higginbotham i found it to be a very intresting book.I also carved a couple of the dogs in the book.
