This project continued for the next show in 2024, of which the design process began in summer 2023. The pins featured a family set of Ajax, Miracle's Natural Beauty, and their 2023 filly.

In Fall 2022, I worked with the Sea to Bay Model Horse Club, to design a series of Chincoteague Pony art prints and enamel pins. All proceeds benefit a local animal rescue—Whimsical Animal Rescue—and the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company.
Whimsical Animal Rescue is a 501c(3) nonprofit, rescuing and caring for homeless dogs and cats in need. Follow these links to their Facebook page and website. They are located in Seaford, Delaware.
The Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company manages the herd of ponies in Chincoteague, and provides them with hay, water, and veterinary care as needed. Follow this link to visit their website.
Each art print is designed for a 5"x7" size.
