Jebediah McCants


otterine

Some people have been eager to know the horse's name. My horse's name is Jebediah McCants. I looked up the meaning of Jebediah, and it means "beloved friend." McCants is some distant ancestral name, and I thought the names sounded good together. I'm figuring our RFD carrier is Mr. McCants, since the carriers were charged with supplying their own transportation, therefore caring for their own horses.

Jebediah looks eager to get on with things, no? I'm gearing up to gear him up, researching more in depth on harnesses and the like. Once I get the harness made, I can paint over this primer coat and apply hair.

I like the name. I always wanted to park a buckboard loaded with supplies in front of my farmhouse. I've looked into the Breyer horses but thought them too shiny-plastic to convey realism. Yours looks pretty great even as he stands after you re-painted him. I am very interested to see how you do the flocking.
