Along with the clipping stencils I started making a few years ago, I have been working on stencils for painted quartermark designs for a little while now and I thought I'd share with you all.
I started out making reusable brush stencils with simple shapes cut as complex patterns don't really show in the coat.
Then I went to Badminton horse trials a couple of years ago and saw a lady eventing with a thistle design marked on her horse (which she had made herself) with temporary spray on hair colour, and was so impressed how well it showed up by comparison, so started experimenting myself.
They just spray on through the stencil, and are then fixed with hair spray which helps give them a bit of staying power and are then just sponged off at the end of the day.
Using paints allows me to design more intricate shapes which you couldn't really clip, and definitely not brush in to the coat with any degree of success.
These are becoming more popular in the UK now and I've sent a few to the states as well (with a possibility that a distributor in the States will be looking to supply to the local tack shops)
Anway, here are a few to go on with
Made from a custom letter design
This FEI design was my first experiment with the paints using a very fine plastic film and sponging the paint on (which caused a bit of blurring due to my sausage fingered attempt) , so I might revisit this with the heavy vinyl sheet I'm using now on the paint stencils to see how well the multi coloured designs can be made to work. I've also got a supplier of much better quality paints than used on these, for better colour depth and faster drying

How I Eat
I eat quality foods but don't measure the amount
I eat 1-3 full cheat meals per week
I eat clean most of the time but feel i get energy kicks when i have little cheats here and there. Icecream and pizza are best cheat meals for me i never feel a negative effect from those 2!
How I Train
I workout mostly at a CrossFit Affiliate
I record my workouts
I own and run CrossFit Wellbeing and do pretty much all of my training there.
My Athletic Background
I played professional sports
My Experience With CrossFit
I began CrossFit by trying it alone (without a coach)
I have completed the CrossFit Level 1 certificate course
I have attended one or more specialty courses
I have had a life changing experience due to CrossFit
I train other people
Just the mobility side alone of CrossFit has opened my eyes to a better functioning body and how it can put you in good stead in any activity outside of the gym or in life! I will continue crossfitting for the rest of my life.
My Work/Rest Schedule
I usually only do 1 workout a day
I do multiple workouts in a day 1x a week
I strictly schedule my rest days
I typically rest 4 or more days per month
Training under fatigue is important for athletes who can handle it and have the background to keep injury free at these times. It is when you learn the most about what your body can do when tired. No one is fresh in a comp after the first workout and this helps build mental toughness. In saying that i rarely do 2 a days and schedule rest periods frequently to recharge the batteries.
How long have you been doing CrossFit?
2-4 years
I started CrossFit when i opened up CrossFit Wellbeing in April 2012. I was limited in what i could do as it was 3 months post shoulder reconstruction so i took my time and built up slowly!

Great for larger dogs
posted 8 years ago
If you have a large animal to shave down this blade will reduce the number of passes you have to make to get that hair off.
Benefits you, and the animal. The cost is a bit higher but well worth the few extra dollars.
Pros: Cuts down on grrom time
Cons: None

Gordon Beckham 2B/3B ATL 2 months ago
Beckham signed a one-year, $1.25 million contract with the Braves on Wednesday, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports.
Gordon Beckham 2B/3B ATL 3 months ago
Beckham filed for free agency Monday, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Gordon Beckham 2B/3B ATL 7 months ago
Beckham went 0-for-3 as the White Sox's starting shortstop Thursday.
He got the nod at shortstop with Alexei Ramirez dealing with a foot injury. He and Carlos Sanchez should be next at short should Ramirez be out for an extended period of time. The 0-fer dropped Beckham's batting average to a season-worst .195. After a surprisingly strong start to the year, Beckham is slashing .127/.186/.203 since the start of June.
Gordon Beckham 2B/3B ATL 8 months ago
Beckham hit a game-winning solo home run Sunday against the Rangers.
The home run was Beckham's fourth of the season, and it looks like he is on track for another single-digit home run year despite being in the prime power years of his career. For a time in May and June it looked like Beckham might be edging out Conor Gillaspie for the White Sox's starting third base gig, but Gillaspie has seen more time over the past 10 games as Beckham's bat continues to slip.

Beckham went 0-for-3 as the White Sox's starting second baseman Thursday.
This was Beckham's first start (and fourth) of the season at second base, and it is a bit surprising the White Sox did not throw him there sooner with Carlos Sanchez and Micah Johnson struggling at the position. Beckham has been in a bit of an offensive spiral himself of late, and he has a .501 OPS over his last 81 plate appearances.

Beckham is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.
Beckham has been getting most of the playing time at third base, along with occasional starts at shortstop and second base. He was in the lineup for 20 of the past 21 games, but the at-bats may start to dry up a bit, as he has just one hit in his last nine contests (27 at-bats). If Beckham loses some at-bats, it will mostly benefit Conor Gillaspie, and perhaps Emilio Bonifacio. Gillaspie is starting at third base Tuesday night.

Manager Robin Ventura said he will continue to mix and match Beckham and Conor Gillapsie at third base, the Chicago Tribune reports
Ventura has actually done very little in terms of mixing and matching lately - the team's third base role has belonged to Beckham. Gilaspie has only made three starts in June, and Beckham offers more apparent upside at both the plate and in the field.
Gordon Beckham 2B/3B ATL 8 months ago
Beckham is out of the lineup Sunday against the Tigers, Doug Padilla of ESPN Chicago reports.
Beckham's string of seven straight starts will come to an end, as manager Robin Ventura turns third base back over to Conor Gillaspie. The White Sox faced a number of right-handers during that stretch of starts, so it's possible Beckham may no longer be stuck in a hard timeshare with Gillaspie at third base. Beckham doesn't offer much in the counting categories, but he's delivered a respectable .263/.321/.394 line across 112 plate appearances.

Beckham is in the lineup Monday against Toronto.
Beckham will make his first start since Thursday, taking over for Conor Gillaspie at third base. Beckham will bat second against Jays' starter Drew Hutchison.
Gordon Beckham 2B/3B ATL 9 months ago
Beckham is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Conor Gillaspie is starting at third base for a second straight game, after Beckham handled four of the previous five contests. Beckham is having the better season, but Gillaspie has six hits in his last four games, with a home run, a triple and a double. The two may continue to split playing time.

And though I agree that what's done is done and she needs to start raising the puppy right and given plenty of support for that, she also needs to think of her actions and reflect on those actions. Think of the future for this puppy and herself. Ar, I can't say what I'm trying to in the right manner. Maybe someone else will say it correctly where it makes sense.
And what if there isn't enough love at home? We should shame the person for getting a puppy? So they can feel loved and needed? Might not be the right medicine, but sometimes we don't always know what the right medicine is at the time of need.
I don't know the history and I don't really care to get caught up in the drama of it if there is any, but there is always a time for things to get and be better. There's a rhyme and reason to each individual getting a dog and while I may not agree with it, what is done is done.
How many of us can look back and say it was the perfect decision and place in our lives for us to get our dogs? I can't. We got Buddy and we paid thousands to get him better, we were newlyweds. I could go on and on and reflect back on what was done and think of how it could have been different but it doesn't mean anything in the here and now because it's in the past. And what I have now- my precious Buddy, alive and by my side- no one can take that away from me.
So, we should all be taking this time to educate and to better the world for this 4 week old puppy. After all, isn't that what we are here for?
"A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave". - Mohandas Gandhi
OP aside, how INCREDIBLY sad and irresponsible of a breeder to sell (in this situation dump) a puppy at three weeks! The dam's role is not just to feed her puppies!!!!!!!! If she can't produce adequate milk, fine. There are formulas in those situations. She is still needed to teach the puppy how to interact and be a DOG. The littermates together for at least 8 weeks fill an important role as well. Sounds to me that this breeder didn't want to do his/her JOB when the going got tough. I am so angry right now!
OP- Good luck to you with this puppy. Read and do everything you can to be sure this puppy gets the life it deserves!
With azcowgril, I personally feel like she should be reflecting on why this action wasn't necessarily the right time. No, we can't change the past but we CAN LEARN FROM IT. (not yelling, just emphasizing) I feel she should learn from her past actions, which so far seems she hasn't, as this new puppy clearly shows. I know she didn't get the dog, but she obviously isn't discouraging it in the slightest.
I think she should be looking at her options now, think about what might happen in the future considering her situation. Not that she can think of everything, but she should be at least able to pay for the basics without relying on her boyfriend of only TWO months. That's really not long enough to know someone is horribly dependable and I feel like she should be learning how to take care of herself right now. Not relying on someone else, that's how people get themselves in trouble.
And if her current bf isn't showing her enough love, and she NEEDS a puppy to make up for that, that's even more reason to think of how she's going to take care of herself and this puppy in the future! She NEEDS to think of how to pay for the BASICS. Especially what RD pointed out. Where is she going to live if she breaks up with her BF with a pit bull puppy? How will she pay for vet care? What about training? Food? etc.
Love does not conquer all. Life is harsh and not fair. We don't always get what we need.
And I know we all make mistakes. I certainly shouldn't of gotten Lucas or Chloe! It was NOT the right time for me to be getting a dog looking at what my situation was like. But I look at that and have learned from that past mistake.
I'm not saying she should just wallow in shame because she got this puppy, but she needs to learn from it so she thinks before getting, maybe discuss with her bf about the future of the dog and who's it is.
That's why I recommended the book .....to start in what the poor pup lost at 3 weeks . What's done is done .... right now we're here for the pup !! No more bashing .!
A light for all who are crossing dark times.
Agreed, now the advice should start.
I think a vet should be contacted asap, to book an appointment for when the pup can have its first vacc's. Now that the pup is no longer receiving antibodies from momma's milk they will start to run out (can't remember how long that takes). Caution is needed at this point as to where the pup is taken outside for housetraining, avoid any areas that you even suspect other dogs have been. Do not take this young pup to parks etc, the risk is much to high. The pup should also be dewormed, as I suspect it hasn't been yet.
Personally after the pup has had its first vacc's I would start socializing it to as many other dogs as possible without scaring it. If someone has a very maternal female, then the pup has to spend time with her and as much as possible. Along with allowing as much free play time with another puppy of the same size and near its age as long as that pup isn't too dominate or submissive, a nice confident pup that plays nice would be great.
Read the articles posted bite inhibition!! You have to teach this pup now, how to play properly with humans, with boundries and limits.
I'm not sure when we all became psychologists.
OP- best of luck with the pup, take the advice adojrts has given you and get that pup to see a vet pronto. Get the book Grammy always recommends and read it. Read threads. Educate yourself. Do the best for this pup and remember, dogs are not disposable, they are partners for life.
"A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave". - Mohandas Gandhi
Seriously now, I won't say anything else here. I swear! OP, I just hope you seriously think about your actions and plan for the future.
It's illegal in Colorado to sell puppies under the age of 8 weeks of age. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Very irresponsible on the breeders behalf, and illegal.
Best of luck...

Jagr returns to first Stanley Cup Final in 21 years - 06-08-13
An aging star acquired at the trade deadline by a black and gold team has punched his ticket to the Stanley Cup final after a long absence.
Much to the chagrin of Penguins fans, it's not Jarome Iginla.
Former Penguins captain Jaromir Jagr (above), 41, played a role in the Bruins 4-0 sweep by recording three assists. As a result, Jagr will participate in the Stanley Cup final for the first time since 1992 when he won his second title with the Penguins as a 19-year-old.
After last night's 1-0 win in Boston, Jagr held court with the media and answered a variety of questions:
Do you appreciate this trip to the Final more than you did earlier in your career?
"Of course you appreciate it. When you're younger, you know you're going to play a long time. I appreciate every game I can play. The more important game it is, it's the better for me. The way I explain it, I feel like a 70-year-old guy who tries to be alive and be [thankful] for every day he gets on this earth. That's me and the hockey. I appreciate every day I can play."
What do you expect in the Final?
"We're probably going to have probably a week off to get the rest. Everybody needs it. It doesn't matter who we face. It's going to be a great team. Chicago, a great offense. If it's going to be [Los Angeles], they know how to win. They have big guys. They play good on the boards. It's going to be a tough game. It's going to be a big challenge for us. Not a lot of people are talking about us but we're a good team."
Has this playoff run made you feel young?
"If you spent a lot of time around 20- or 25-year old guys, of course you have to feel like a kid. If everybody would be 40 like me, it would be different in the dressing room. But there's a lot of kids around me. You have a choice; Adjust and be a kid or retire. I don't want to retire yet so I have to be a kid."
What has it been like adjusting to this team?
"I love everybody on this team starting from the trainers to the last guy and the management. I've had a lot of run since the first day I came here. There's a lot of good players but nobody acts like a superstar. There's good team chemistry here. That's why I appreciate why we can go to the [Stanley Cup] final. We can spend more team together."
As a member of the Flyers last season, you eliminated the Penguins. Are there any similarities betwen the two teams?
"A totally different game. Totally different series. It was a wide open game. In [Philadelphia], the way we played, we played up and down. We were pretty confident in the dressing room that we could beat them. We weren't thinking about defense at all. We wanted to beat them straight up and up and down hockey. Who's going to score more goal. It was a totally different series. Here, as long as we played our style, we were okay. Some periods, we played more the Penguins' style and it didn't work for us. I would say the second period [in Game 4], we kind adjusted to them and played up and down and made a lot of turnovers. That's not our hockey. We've got to keep it where we are."
How do you enjoy making little plays which contribute to wins compared to big plays such as goals?
"The game has changed. That's the first thing. The game has change so there is not much difference between the best player and the worst player on the ice. The fourth line can play easily against the first line. I don't thing it's the same as 20 years ago. Coaches could look for the matches – put the first line against the fourth line – and there's a chance you could score. The game has changed a lot. There's a lot of good players. Very close. Just to be able to play against them … it's an honor to me. That's why I have to work a little extra to be able keep up with them. I don't mind it because I love to work. I don't mind to work at all. That's what makes me happy. Some people hate to work. Hard work makes me happy. Some people don't enjoy it. I enjoy it."
How do you expelain your team's defense?
"When you play defense, good defense means you play the zone…. With our defense that we play, if [a defensive player] makes a mistake, there's always somebody else. So it's tougher. You'd have to beat five guys, not one guy. That's why I would say it was tough for [Evgeni] Malkin and [Sidney Crosby] because it was a five guy unit."
As a player who was at one point, the focal point for opposing defenses, how frustrating can it be for Crosby and Malkin being held without a point?
"They're great players. There's no question about it. It's not easy. Everybody is waiting for you to do something. It's like in basketball. When you [face] a good player, you double team him. Let the other guys beat you. If you're going to play against LeBron James, you're going to put two guys on him. Let the 'Birdman' [Heat center Chris Andersen] (right) beat you."
What is it like being shutout individually when you play at that level?
"That's the worst feeling. That's why I try to work extra so I wouldn't go through that feeling. But sooner or later, you're going to go through it. You're not going to be your best every night for 10 years. It's impossible. I know they went through it. It's not easy. I'm sure next year they'll come back and be the best again."
How tough was it buying into this team's defensive approach?
"It's not about me. Of course I like to score. I'd like to play a wide open game and everyone would give me the puck and I'd have a chance to score. But it doesn't work anymore like that. I have to adjust. I can see that it's working. Maybe I would be that happy if we were losing all the time but it's working."
Could the 27-year-old version of you commit to a defense like this?
"I would probably score five or six goals in the series and nobody would even [notice my defense]. Ha, ha, ha."
Did you ever doubt you would return to the Stanley Cup final?
"As professional, anything you do in the world, if you don't believe, you don't have a chance to succeed. You always have to believe the highest thing you can imagine. Every time I step on the ice, I want to win the Stanley Cup. If it's going to happen, I don't know. It didn't happen for 20 years."
When you won the Stanley Cup with the Penguins in 1991 and 1992, those teams were expected to win more titles but it never happened. The current group in the Penguins' dressing room won the Stanley Cup in 2009 but has yet to win it again. What is it like when you fall short of immense expectations?
"It can happen to anybody. It's a lot tougher to take it if you're the favorite but as long as you work hard and you give your best and you don't have any regrets after the season, its fine. Anybody can get hot for two weeks and everybody can beat everybody. But the hardest thing is knowing you didn't give 100 percent because you have to live with through the summer and wait for next year. And you don't know what's going to happen next year. Once you get that opportunity, you've got to grab it … or least play the best hockey you can play."
You might have to wait another 21 years to get back to the Stanley Cup final.
"I'll be dead."
