It's that time of year again when we start begging, pleading and generally making odd noises and facial expressions in an attempt to get you to submit articles for 2016 magazines!
There are some basic rules:
1. All articles/photos must be your own work and you must have the rights to use images.
2. Articles must be written in English, please no bad language!
3. Articles should be horse or model horse related in some way
Each magazine has a theme but they are pretty loose, so use your imagination!
February - Colours
April - Performance
June - Literature
August - Costumes
October - Vintage
December - 1980's
We always work hard to fit in every article we receive.
In return for contributing you get a free copy of the magazine and of course the chance to see your work be published!
To submit articles or for information about subscribing to our magazine please contact me at: catriona@chestnutridge.co.uk
Thank you :D

Sneak Peak of New Breyer Stablemate
They've released a sneak peak of the new Stablemate Collector's club model.
Looks like it has a nice head, not much more to say apart from that!

Two New Commissions
Amongst the coursework and parcel packing I've managed to finish off my last pre-Christmas commissions.
These little adorable ponies will be heading off to Holly Mayes, which means I may get to see them on the show circuit next year *yay*
First up is a pink unicorn. Made with one of our resin unicorn horns. Beautiful pink coat with cherry blossom and sparkles!
Second is an adorable pinto foal. I just love this little guy! I'm so happy with the way he turned out

Bobby Jo & Forever Saige - 2016 RR's!
Looks like there won't be much of a wait for these guys to come out as regular runs!
I adore the Bobby Jo mould, so can't wait to see her in a new colour. Be interesting to see Forever Saige in a new colour as well.

New Design Truck & Trailer
Check out the new colours! I'm loving the blue.
Although maybe it has a few mechanical issues...
Also note the doll - Nadia we have already, but who is this nice blue jumpered doll? Maybe someone can tell me or maybe she's new!
Here is mystery doll again, this time opening the trailer

OK so the image isn't great but still, can't wait to get him!

Schleich Advent Calendar Funs
Just like last year I'm building up a scene using the bits. Although a little harder than last year!
This year I went for the horse one, I liked the farm one but I did love the two horses in the horse one so thought I might as well go for that one. Maybe I'll go for the fairy one next year, who knows!
Anyway I haven't been updating you guys...so here are four days worth in one!
Day 1 - Introducing Mr. Hugh Grant
Day 2 - Day two were a tack set, clearly designed for the other horse (which judging by door sizes you get on the 24th). So I made Hugh wear it. He was not amused.
Day 3 - Day 3 provided us with some cute little rosettes. I decided to add a fence into the scene from my box full of Schleich stuff just so I had something to work with!
Day 4 - TODAY! So we've caught up. Today we got some boots. Definitely won't fit Hugh! So they sorta got propped in the corner as well.

Forever Saige in the Flesh
She has arrived.
She's an interesting one. I keep looking and thinking "she isn't that bad" and then I look again and think "yea she's awful" and then change my mind again.
I do love her face though, that is definitely the nicest part about her.
Her conformation, however, not good. That neck is just insane.
I'm also confused re colour. Like what colour is she actually meant to be? Who knows. Complete mystery. This is one model that will not be getting pedigree!
Shot with flash shows up the weird white roaning? (is it roaning? who knows)
O I should probably add her name is CRS Llama Drama
Gorgeous face

More Tack
I'm finally getting there with commissions! Only two customs and a feltie left to do. I can do this, I can get them all done by December. *positive thoughts*
So here is some more tack that I finished off at the weekend.
First up brown tendon boots:
Secondly brown open fronted tendon boots:
Thirdly some brown reins:
And fourth a brown in hand bridle, as you can probably tell I'm out of kangaroo leather lace which meant I had to use this horrible stiff cow stuff. Not nice to work with. An order of leather lace from Australia is definitely being made today!
