About Me

 

Hi, I’m Marine, a passionate creator from France, dedicated to crafting models for horse lovers and collectors around the world.

My love for horses began in my childhood, captivated by their beauty and majesty. Much of my youth was spent riding, drawing, and painting these incredible animals, immersing myself in their world.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been modeling horses out of clay and tracing them from photos in breed books. My childhood was filled with imaginative horse play—jumping, running, and galloping through the garden with a hobby horse. I even had a beloved collection of seven Schleich horses, and I can still recall each one vividly: Friesian mare (13604), Friesian foal (13622), Tennessee Walker stallion (13631), Tinker mare (13279), Knabstrupper mare (13617), Shetland mare (13297), and Shetland foal (13608).

I devoured books on horse anatomy, coat colors, and breeds, memorizing every detail. I spent hours disassembling and reassembling bridles and saddles, deeply fascinated by the intricacies of equestrian equipment. While my official French riding level is “Galop 4” (I didn’t continue with the next exams), my passion for horses has always driven me to learn and grow.

 

 

 

For my 14th birthday, my parents gifted me a foal named Spirit of Vegas. He became a significant part of my life for six unforgettable years. I trained him myself, and we shared countless joyful moments running freely through the fields. He lived in a section of our garden, but when my parents divorced and sold the house, we had nowhere to keep him. At the time, I was studying far from home and couldn’t afford to support him or provide a stable. Saying goodbye to him remains the hardest day of my life. Today, he’s happily living near the sea in northern France, surrounded by other horses and enjoying his best life.

Unfortunately, during one of our playful moments, he accidentally hit me, and ever since, I’ve developed a fear of being struck or blocked by horses. This fear has prevented me from riding again, which has been deeply disheartening. I can only hope to overcome this trauma someday and reconnect with that part of my life.

In 2024, I discovered the horse modelism community as a way to reconnect with my passion for horses. It offered me a new way to embrace my love for these majestic animals.

Now, I am truly happy pursuing something I cherish and sharing this passion with horse lovers from all around the world!
