Brandy - Restoring a Flocked Horse

Looking for GCs to play with at Value Village, I found a bag that came with a fakie My Little Pony, a strangely double jointed unicorn, some junk, and to my smiles a Schleich Clydesdale and a little flocked filly.

I was both sad and pleased to see that the flocky was pretty well ruined. Her tail had been braided and matted horribly, and her mane (rabbit skin or whatever it is) was peeled off half way. Someone had drawn a heart on for a brand in ballpoint pen. Her felt had rubbed off, her hooves had lost their shading, and any other detailing was gone.

I forgot to get a complete before picture, but here she is in the sink, with her tail out of the braid. Sort of.

You can see her mane lifting up, and her tail frizz is obvious in even this picture. It wasn't pretty, but she looked sweet, so I persevered.

Her tail was left with conditioner to penetrate it for hours, her mane was glued back down, the original glue was blacked over, I darkened her hooves and dyed her legs to have shading, the frizz was ironed out as much as possible, and her tail was trimmed up. Her face details were touched up just a little, and I finished by curling her tail in.

Not much to be done for the rubbing or the brand, but she does look a lot more presentable with a smooth tail and fluffy mane, doesn't she?

I named her Brandy. She looks like a Brandy to me.
