OK, so since this is a pale pony, what about stuffing the legs with airdry clay only?  I s'pose I need to hit the craft store tomorrow.  The beads worked, just the wrong shape, and colored.  Clear ones have to exist.  Or, if we are talking base, how does one secure a pony to one?  We are now venturing outside my knowledge base.  I just know a sufficient amount of medical tape won't cut it.  ;)

I had a yellow pony that I tried to weight with apoxie but it made the back legs look darker than the rest of the body.

If I were to attach it to a base I would use a wooden one from hobby lobby and stick a screw or nail in it from the bottom and just poke it into the ponies rear foot.

I've never done it before though but that's what I would do.

I've attached two ponies to bases. One I attached permanently with screws and glue, the other I made removable from the base. The removable one has two screws in the top of the base at the positions where the pony's feet are, then I used an X-acto to cut Xs in the bottom of the feet and slipped the feet down over the heads of the screws. It's secure on the base and doesn't fall over, but with a bit of gently wiggling she can come off the base for easier transport. It was also a lot easier to do that way than the previous way.
