Look What Popped Up On Our Lawn

Look What Popped Up On Our Lawn



Asbury, NEW JERSEY – March 21, 2012 – As yesterday marked the first day of Spring in the United States, our North Eastern area of NJ can actually see the signs evidenced in vibrant lemon yellow daffodils and rich violet hued crocuses.  But what else is popping up on our lawn?  Currently the muted shade of concrete, oh so sad, our Cavaliers are standing like soldiers awaiting their assignment.  They patiently await their destiny to become brightly painted in your shades!

Our “Jocko” boy jockeys stand at 26 inches high and the “Cavalier” lawn jockeys are 44 inches tall.  We don’t have a precise weight for the Cavalier yet, but the “Jocko” is about 65 pounds.  We are guesstimating him at about 120-130 lbs.  Perhaps we should have a contest for his actual weight?

If you’d like to order your custom lawn jockey, contact us at mail_syc@yahoo.com or visit our Etsy store at http://www.equestrianartatsyc.etsy.com
 and be sure to “Like” us on Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/equestrianartatsyc,  where we will be posting specials and contests.

And remember… Original lawn jockeys were made of iron and weighed between 300 and 400 lbs with the functional use of securing a horse. Today they need not hold a horse but represent popular lawn ornaments, and a common showcase for the thoroughbred racing community to show their colors. At Show Your Colors, our in-house artist depicts your colors making a great lasting impression onto a lawn jockey. Imagine your favorite team, your company logo, your racing silks, or simply your favorite colors commemorated onto your choice of jockey styles! Show Your Colors is also available for commissioned equine portraits, and framed racing colors.

First Cavalier Cement Jockey Pour


Cavalier Unveiling
Front View of Mold
Asbury, NEW JERSEY – March 12, 2012 – Show Your Colors proudly unveiled their first cement cavalier jockey on March 8, 2012 at their manufacturing site in Pennsylvania.  Show Your Colors has been painting “jocko” lawn jockeys since the spring of 2011, with a concentration on custom logos and thoroughbred racing colors.  As many client requests came in for the “Cavalier” style, they started to search for an aluminum mold.  Approximately a year later, that mold was finally secured on Monday, March 5, 2012, purchased from a private vender out of Old Bridge, NJ.  The very next day that mold was filled with its first batch of cement, with many more to follow.  After curing for two days, the cast aluminum pieces were carefully removed revealing the first Show Your Colors Cavalier Jockey. 
 
NEWBORN!
Slow and Steady Process
            “Cavalier” lawn jockeys are approximately 44 inches tall, standing atop a 14-inch pedestal.  Once this first one is fully dry, Show Your Colors will determine the approximate weight.  Original lawn jockeys were made of iron and weighed between 300 and 400 lbs with the functional use of securing a horse.  Today they need not hold a horse but represent popular lawn ornaments, and a common showcase for the thoroughbred racing community to show their colors.  At Show Your Colors, our in-house artist can depict your colors making a great lasing impression onto a lawn jockey.  Choose your favorite team, your company logo, your racing silks, or simply your favorite colors and we’ll commemorate it onto your choice of jockey styles.  Contact us at mail_syc@yahoo.com for more information.
