Now that the 3 Horse projects are done (2 of which hit the store today: RHT and RHT Materials), my next plans to start the easier "big" updates; Nightjars, Kiwis, plus the Birds of Prey and Waterfowl series.

I do plan to season these updates with some Nature's Wonders releases to provide some revenue for me... NW Frogs 3: Toads (about 3/4 done) and NW Ants (model almost done) are on my list to complete this year.

Thanks... I'm a fan of Harris Ranch, where I stop every time on my way up to visit Mom (LA to Lodi), so California Chrome was an obvious addition for me. For those who don't about Harris Ranch, they are a popular beef product producer for grocery stores, have restaurant (with incredible food) and dabble in horse racing. "DAP" on California Chrome's blinkers refers to Harris Ranch's horse racing division, "Dumb Ass Partnership"

I actually have heard of Harris Ranch!

I've been a fan of California Chrome even before his Kentucky Derby win. He's a smooth mover and has a nice gaite not to mention he loves those cookies!! The media has seemed to embrace him and that is where I heard about Harris Ranch in his back story. I think the last time I got to watch him run was his televised Dubai World Cup win before his retirement. I also am a fan of Zenyatta and hope maybe one day to visit Santa Anita for the Breeders Cup.

What I want to know is . . . who's doing jockey tack (or whatever a jockey's clothing is called)?

Miss B, Jockey clothing is called "Silks" :)

I would love Dawn/Dusk to have their own. I can get the ones I have for Genesis to fit in DS but I don't know how to do that in Poser yet (and my computer still won't render in DS without crashing :()

I'm not aware on anyone doing silks for Dawn or Dusk. Hopefully someone will... I occasionally create clothing but that only occurs after a 6-7 year period in which I forget how miserable I was doing it lol

The only way I can get the silks to fit Dusk/Dawn in Daz is via creating a Gen clone currently.
Daz has rights on the content, but don't see why someone can't come up with a Dusk/Dawn fit/Poser conversion for them if Daz allows it.

I do have a Jockey model morphs in the works though for Dawn and Dusk.

But would be nice if someone could make Dusk/Dawn their own sets. I'm also not happy with the plastic setting for the lighting mode on the pants.

I second that , but Daz is much more forgiving in that department than Poser from my experience. Maybe Ken1171 could make a set ?

Edit to add: Conversion might be easier!

Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,—

Lol, can't believe I remember those lines still from Shakespeare's Scottish Play!

Love the Toad!! Should be great for Halloween!
