Restoring Farfrae Jubilee

Jubilee is the other foal from the Cheeky auction and, like the others from that lot, has been heavily restored. When she arrived, she didn't have a face, just a chewed lump on the end of her neck. She doesn't look that bad in her pictures, but trust me, it was bad. I think her head might have turned out a bit longer than usual for this mold, but it is very similar to the reference picture I was using of another vintage Yearling.

Her leg position is fairly true to how she hardened, I just tweaked it a bit to make her stand properly. She had a large blaze when she arrived, but closer inspection proved this to be an old touch-up. Her current star is more like her original facial marking. I tried to rehair her with the original hair, but the glue plugs were too thick. I have managed to incorporate her original tail hair into her mane, but her tail is new mohair.

I've been wanting a Vintage Yearling for a while, and was thrilled to win this adorable little filly and give her a new life. She doesn't have a mouth letter, but she was likely purchased some time in the early 70s
