Wydra
Wydra (Polish for "otter") began as a defective copy of the 2017 Wilga resin by Horse and Bird Studio, Dark Pegasus Studio and my Koni Miniatures that Aleksander Freda of Dark Pegasus Studio & I resculpted together in 2020 into an aged Tarpan mare (Equus ferus ferus). I painted her into a brown dun with hypothetical body stripes. The sculpt has a little magnet sunken into her croup to help carry along white heron (Ardea alba alba) companion figurines Aleksander and I made. Wydra stands 130cm tall in 1:12 scale.
At the same time Aleksander too resculpted a Wilga of his into a Tarpan - Bura, the bruiser daughter in her prime to accompany my elderly dam. We've had great fun taking the pair into nature for photography treks around Finland. In some of the pictures below you can see the two together, roaming Europe in a time before people became ubiquitous.

In the Shishkinesque woods of Orinoro gorge in the autumn of 2020.
Some fun pictures displaying the camouflage qualities of Wydra's hypothetical brown dun, zebra-striped coat. I'll add more as I luck out on them.
Information for the pedigree assigment hobby:
Wydra is a 1865 Tarpan (Equus ferus ferus - opens in new tab), wildborn, captured as 15yo in 1880. Brown dun, hypothetical strongly striped colour. Parents unknown (I'm currently sculpting her a 1855 wild dam). 130cm. Photo show Breed & Colour CH; Breed, Colour & scene wnr; IPABRA 2021 Top-10 in CM/AR Other Breed & CM/AR Other Colour . Can hybridize with domestic ponies and Przewalskis.
Available for wild Tarpan offspring 1868 - 1880.
Available for captive-bred offspring 1880-1885.
On the off chance you'd specifically like a Biłgoraj pony (early Polish Konik), Wydra has a 1875 wild-born daughter in Bura (shown above on the right) owned by Dark Pegasus Stables. Bura has a 1895 Tarpan captive-bred filly; which in turn will have a 1915 domestic filly once we get the wrinkles ironed out in this little plan... DPS and I are hoping to perhaps eventually connect this damline to early real Koniks.
