Bombel Woda+
Bombel Woda+ ("bubbly water") is a Brigitte Eberl 2016 Ulan resin with a modified face, hooves and undercarriage, painted and mohaired into a reverse dappled black varnish appaloosa Polish half-blood or Szlachetna półkrew. 169cm in 1:10 scale.
Bombel was the first full-sized model I finished for my own collection for a decade. I painted him up as part of the National Model Painting Month event of 2018, with the indispensable help of Aleksander Freda of Dark Pegasus Studio. Thank you ever so much Sasha! Aleksander also built the sidepull bridle shown in the desktop photos, and painted the Guinea pig that makes a cameo in some shots. The piggie was sculpted by Anna Dobrowolska-Oczko of Horse and Bird.

Summer 2018 early morning drive with Dark Pegasus Studio. We drove out at 3 a.m. for four chilly hours of crawling on our bellies in the fields. DPS took some of these pictures too. The saddle is by Gut Goldbach; the bridle by Dark Pegasus Studio & reins by Anna Suna.
These are pictures from the winter of 2018. They were taken almost immediately after the model's completion, in my yard, by a nearby lake and even on a local gas station backyard. (Can you tell I was excited to have my first own Traditional in 10 years?) The orange breakaway halter is by Dark Pegasus Studio with modifications by me. Marta Kirkor made the red halter.
An early evening drive around Järvikylä, summer 2018. Red halter by Orcanie Studio; blue one by Dark Pegasus Studio.
On a 2018 Autumn "ride" in a perhaps overdressy (and certainly ill-fitted - my bad) Western pleasure saddle set by Donna Hutchins of ShadowCat Saddlery. The makeshift gate was modified from Monocerus jump standards.
June 2018, trying out Western tack by New Age Saddlery - my first Western set, this was, and a smidge too long for Bombel's back.
An early summer, early morning photoshoot in 2018. Saddle by Gut Goldbach; bridle by Dark Pegasus Studio; reins by Anna Suna modified by me (with permission). Leg wraps are from Ute PH of Lowlandranch.
Information for the pedigree assignment hobby:
Bombel Woda+ is a 1996 Polish halfblood (szlachetna półkrew). Black varnish appaloosa, EeaaLplp (gives chestut or black, with or without appaloosa). Brzęczyszczykiewicz (1983 Silesian, Tarnobrzeg® - Bramka®, Automat® - owned by me, also available for stud) - Talia® (1989 Wielkopolska, Dywizjon® - Tęcza®, Tajfun®). 169cm. IPABRA ROM & Supreme Champion+.
Bombel's pedigree represents long Polish horsebreeding, with pure Silesian carriage horses on top (sire a classically bred Silesian carriage horse - please see Brzęczyszczykiewicz's writeup for more info) and the Polish riding horse breeds małopolski, wielkopolski and szlachetna półkrew making up the bottom. This riding horse breeding goes back to horses such as the Trakehners Polarstern, Tempelhüter & Eitelfritz; East-Prussians Celsius, Direktion, Busola; the Mezőhegyes-bred Furioso III; Thoroughbreds like De Corte, River Chanter, Aquino II & Blue Skies contribute too (Bombel carries 16,04% TB blood). The appaloosa colouration comes via Bombel's maternal sireline through Tiger, Tarzan, Mustaf, Lampart, Dywizjon.
Bombel is available from 2000-2008 (gelded) and from then on for 25 further foals via frozen semen. He has a paternal brother in my Alt-Oldenburger Hans, who is also available for stud.
