The Gallery
Yupperdoodle, it's the RKS Photo Gallery! Here are a
select few of our fave - and fantastic - horses. If you
would like to see a horse that isn't shown here, just drop
us an e-mail and up it goes!
 Top:
(L-R) Angel Face, Gabria
Middle: (L-R) Hilighter, Nara
Bottom: (L-R) French Vanilla Cafe, Dreamin' Up Daisies, Wind
in the Hills
The bottom three are a set (oviously :). They were some
of our first horses.
The name "Nara" is from a fantasy book called Dark Horse.
I'd imagine the Hunnuli breed looks something like a
Fresian.
And then for some real fantasy (does that make sense to
you?) we have the unicorns. There's one other, a white one,
named Suburu. Not after the car, dummy! It's Japanese for
"Big Dipper".
As you probably can't tell (but it's the truth, anyways),
there are a heck of a lot of appaloosas at RKS!
By the way, The Whether Man (me) is a Pony of the
Americas, not an appaloosa.
 Top:
(L-R) Eight O'Clock Royal, Spun Gold
Middle: (L-R) Munkustrap, Dignified Dream, Fit of
Honor
Bottom: (L-R) Spirit of Autumn, Geneva Swan, Lady
Firethroat
Eight O'Clock Royal is a woodgrain, and has won RKS
plenty of ribbons at live shows!
Can you tell I like the Sham mold yet? My first Rana (the
gray) was chewed up by my friend's dog (sniff), but luckily,
she found me another one, who has gone on to place in a
show!
I would love to get the PAM from the Sears SR Spirit of
the Wind set to go with Autumn, but I can't find her. If you
have her (for a reasonable price, I might add), please send
an e-mail!
And please don't call Geneva Swan Gennie. It's very
annoying.
 Top:
(L-R) Hourglass, Storm Watch.
Middle: (L-R) Starway, Starry-Eyed, Awestruck,
Comet-tail.
Bottom: (L-R) Spring's Eternal Hope, Rockin' Robin, The
Whether Man
Who doesn't have Misty and Stormy? No one I know. We
actually have two Stormies, Storm Watch and Storm Dust.
They're a tad bit hard to tell apart.
Super Saddlebreds! Da-da-da-da-da-DA! We've also got a
TWH, True Lies, but he isn't shown. Everybody who sees her
just loves Starry-Eyes, a CH Imperator.
Now here's a sight for all you sore-eyes people! A pretty
Welsh Pony, a fancy Hackney... and, well, me, The Whether
Man! Am I cute, or am I cute? Or maybe I'll be modest and
just be adorable. I used to be called Spirograph, but I like
my name better now.
 Top:
(L-R) Roots and Wings, Klondike Cat, Ceasefire.
Middle: He Means Business
Bottom: (L-R) Enlightenment, VanDyke
Roots and Wings is named for a song of the same name.
Yes, I do have a horse named Savour-Fair!
"Ceasefire" refers to the temporary truce between man and
mustang... key word: temporary
And here he is, everybody's favorite Best of Show winner,
He Means Business!
Enlightenment was the very first horse at RKS. The very
first. He was originally called lightning and has suffered a
few (fine, more than a few) scratches and rubs, but hey,
those are just signs that he's been loved. A rather handsome
guy, too, isn't he?
 Top:
(L-R) Magical Mr. Mistoffelees, Peppermint Wind
Middle: (L-R) My Spirit, My Wings, My Guy
Bottom: (L-R) Dawn Treader, In All His Glory
Mistoffelees is part of the sought-after After School
Herd collection. He's in pretty good condition, actually, no
scratches or anything. But no, he's not for sale. Sorry.
Okay, now you've seen her. The very favorite of all the
horses in the entire herd and one of the first to come, My
Spirit, an original Secretariat. Show with foals My Wings
('99 LE Secretariat) and My Guy (JC Penny SR)
In All His Glory sports the racing tack by Breyer. I just
love the Cigar mold. But how come the stirrups on the saddle
are so long? I mean, it's a racing saddle! Don't they pay
attention?
 Top: (L-R)
Figment's Imagine, Cafe Glace, Long Walk
Middle: (Trad) Sylphide, (Little Bit) Little Black Rain
Cloud, (Stablemates, L-R) Cherished, Internationally Known,
Enchantment, Le Chat
Bottom: (L-R) Golden Apple, Jancsi, An Up Thing
About names: Figment's Imagine is named for "The Journey
into Imagination" ride at EPCOT. "Cafe Glace" is French for
"coffee ice cream". Long Walk is for the Native American
forced migration from their homeland. "Little Black Rain
Cloud" is a song from "Winnie-the-Pooh and the Honey Tree".
(I'm just a little black rain cloud, hovering under the
honey tree...) "Sylphide" is a ballet about fairies. "Le
Chat" is French for "the cat".
All right, all right, the bottom ones aren't Breyers, but
they're models, so who cares?
 This
is Royal Kashmir Stables itself! Of course, things are moved
around often, and the camera couldn't get the whole place,
but this is the basic idea. Note the ribbons fluttering in
the background!
