Yes! Until tonight I didn’t realize that there were such things as modified ponies and I can’t understand how they’re tricked out (so to speak). It must be air-drying polymer of some kind. All of these are so beautiful (even when they’re ugly).
Most polymer clay can cure at a relatively low temp, and can take as little as 5 minutes per 1/4 inch thickness. I would imagine if the mane and tail fibers were protected, the body could endure the heat long enough to cure the suit.
Looks like a marble slab to me, and a bit narrow for a toilet tank…but maybe it’s one hell of a fancy toilet. (The thought of sitting down on a marble throne in wintertime is none too pleasant…yikes.)
They string the hair afterwards, probably. The head is usually attached last, with the openings used to hand-thread the hair. The tail is usually one big lock, but the mane has to be done 2-3 hairs at a time.

I’m enchanted and mystified, since a lot of these suits are made from polymer clay and plastic melts in the oven.

This is amazing. Art. I declare Art.

Does it say something about the picture taker that this pony is on the back of a toilet tank?
