Site This site is version
2 of my other "Wild Wolf Stables" site with a slight
name change though much of the original name will be retained in
html coding such as urls. "Wild
Wolf" is too similar to some other stable names within the
hobby so I opted for something a little more unique though
actually it isn't much of a change. "Akela" is the name
of the Great Grey Lone Wolf/Leader of the Pack in Rudyard
Kipling's Mowgli stories. The name also translates generically to
"strength & cunning." The site itself
was created as a way for me to "keep house" of my model
horses, their show progress, and share my collection with others
without having to physically move them too much. I love looking at
all the different variations of models and I presume at least a
few others in the hobby feel the same way. This site is also an
outlet to perhaps meet others in the same hobby as I.
My HTML experience was mostly
self-taught, etc. and I use Miscrosoft Front Page 2000 for most of
my site designing, updating, and so forth. I often utilize the web
for "free templates" then modify them to suit my needs
and likes. I simply don't have time to free design my own from
scratch right now. More details on me,etc. are below and on my
main website, "Rebel
Wolf."
About
Me
I'm new to the hobby in regards to
live showing, photo showing, and attending events, but I'm a
veteran when it comes to collecting. I've had Breyers since I was
a child. Only a couple of those exist to this day as some were
considered toys back then and the others were lost/damaged in
moves, natural disasters, etc. I do have two favorite breeds, Arabians
and Thoroughbreds and this site and my collection will reflect
that. My collection will also show my interest in ancient cultures
as my "performance" entries and some names will reflect
a bit of that.
I hope to live show a
few times a year and photo show more than that. Time and money
constraints may limit my participation in such events however.
Though I do hope to get to NAN, Breyerfest, or other large events
at some point. Model horses aren't my only "expensive" hobby or life interest so it must share my
VERY limited resources.
You can find more
information about me off my main website: http://www.chaoswolf.com/me.html.
There you will find much more info on me and my other
hobbies/sport interests.
I've always dreamed of
one day owning real horses and perhaps one day that dream will be
realized, but for now, the little model ones will suffice until I
gain enough experience with real ones and have enough money, time,
and a home with the space. And of course, when that opportunity
arrives, I will likely seek out/rescue some ex-racing
Thoroughbreds and/or own some Arabians (that shouldn't surprise
you given the theme of my collection/site).
