I wonder if Laurie has ever done a Golden Palomino like Roy Roger's Trigger?

LOL how did you guess what I am working on now?
I am planning a wide range of palomino looks for a new set. Yes I do have the light "cream draught" color in my Ultra 1 set, but am planning more deep golden and chocolate type options.eclark1894

I just mentioned Trigger in another thread, and aside from Trigger and Mr. Ed, I don't know many Palominos.LOL how did you guess what I am working on now?
Well, actually, I don't know any Palominos.eclark1894

Any Clydesdales, Laurie??? Link, please?
Check out Laurie's and HiveWire's Draft Horse. I think that's probably the closest thing to a Clydesdale you'll find.

Doesn't look right.
The Draft Horse was made AFTER various pose packs or the poses were not optimized for the Draft Horse, so you WILL want to adjust your posing with the HW Draft Horse (yes he IS a Clydesdale...) Also note the "Load All" for the Draft Horse is "old"/uses Firefly or 3DL MATs (depending on which program) so you will need to manually apply Superfly or Iray MATs.
FWIW this is an iray render of the Draft Horse with the HW Big Dog: BFFs

Awwww, you missed it! That pic I posted was of Elizabeth Taylor and National Velvet. When I saw it, you came to mind.
That was Elizabeth Taylor? The picture's so small it's hard to tell who's riding. As far as National Velvet's concerned, I've never gone to horse races, so wouldn't have recognized him either.Awwww, you missed it! That pic I posted was of Elizabeth Taylor and National Velvet. When I saw it, you came to mind.

But, if I'm remembering correctly, also the name of a famous Kentucky Derby winner decades ago, so my reference to the horse she was riding.
LOL yeah it is Liz! I couldn't see since the pic was kinda small..
The horse was "The Pie".. and fwiw, Liz was given "The Pie" as a birthday gift after filming was over! And...
"The Pie was portrayed by King Charles, a stunning seven-year-old chestnut Thoroughbred. His grandsire happened to be the legendary Man o’ War, making him a cousin to Seabiscuit.
Elizabeth Taylor first met King Charles while visiting the Rivera Country Club. His original owners had trained him as a showjumper. Taylor fell in love with the beautiful Thoroughbred, so MGM acquired him for $800.
In order to prepare for her role, Taylor spent countless hours riding, caring and bonding with King Charles. She would take 90-minute riding lessons and help with his care at the instruction of Riviera Country Club and Dupee Stables in Hollywood."

I looked it up, but no, Velvet Brown was the name of Elizabeth Taylor's character in the movie, so when she went to the Nationals she was called "National Velvet".

The Year of the Fire Horse occurs once every 60 years in the Chinese zodiac. Because this pairing combines the fast, independent nature of the Horse with the intense, action-oriented element of Fire, it is considered an exceptionally dynamic, powerful, and sometimes turbulent time. I think we can all agree that so far 2026 has been all that and more…
I want to thank all of you who have supported me through all these wonderful years at HiveWire. It means the world to me.
I posted my many thanks in the main thread here earlier today, but I wanted to let you all know what I am doing these days and how to reach me/find my products.
Since we closed the HiveWire store I’ve been mainly continuing to make artwork, very often using all the wonderful HW critters we made together. Now I license those artworks for all kinds of various products, from oracle card decks to collectible horse figurines, jigsaw puzzles to calendars, greeting cards to tote bags and tapestries, and many more. All of those products can be previewed at my website www.cwrw.net.
As always, I am still selling prints and canvases of all of my artwork as well. That website is www.LauriePrindle.com
I still sell all of my 3d products at my Rendo store under CWRW, along with all of the HiveWire products I was a part of. (I opened my Rendo store way back in 2008!
I check site mail there almost everyday.I am at Deviant Art under CWRW (I will move my HW Freebees there for those who want them). I also check site mail there almost every day.
I am on Facebook as CWRW and on Instagram @laurieprindle. I can be messengered there at any time.
At this point in time I am not sure if I will get back into selling any of my 3d products. If I do, they will be for sale at Rendo and I post that sort of news on my Rendo and Deviant pages. I will also be discontinuing my www.cwrw3d.com when it comes up for renewal early next year.
Again I just want to thank you all for your support and friendship as well, all these years. I wish you all the best!
And so I will not say “Goodbye”, but “Til we meet again!”
Laurie
