Open for Offers - Vintage Club Charlie

Eowyn needs an ultra sound and x-rays. So I need a few spare pennies! So I'm taking offers on this girl until 9pm GMT tonight.



Payment by tomorrow at the latest. Postage is £2.85 2nd class UK (other options available).



She is the Traditional Scale Breyer Vintage Club Charlie. She had a broken forelock when I received her which has been glued back on.



I had kept her for customising or performance but I need the money. The break line could probably be touched up or repaired. It can't be seen in normal pictures so she is fine for photoshowing. She is tack friendly and a lovely model :)



Has a few other factory flaws as you can see in the pictures.



Email catriona@chestnutridge.co.uk or message me on Facebook or comment on the post if you would like to make an offer.



The current offer is £76

Mid-Year Releases

I've been a bad blogger recently and haven't really updated you on stuff (this basically sums up my life right now).

Anyway the mid-year releases came in a few weeks back and I obviously had to get a couple for myself (OBVIOUSLY).

All of these guys are available at Chestnut Ridge although we've only got a few Brunellos left so be quick if you want to grab him!

So here are my new ones:

First up is CRS Swiftbolt (Brunello)


Just look at that face!


I just adore the plaits on this mould


Second is CRS Nobel Step (Shawn)


He is the loose or long main variation of the Best of British Connemara. I just adore him! A proper little pony.



Third is CRS Malikhi (Svali Fra Tjorn)


I wasn't planning on getting this guy originally but when I saw the colour I just had to!


And finally is CRS Icefall (Ice)


He is the NRHA Anniversary horse, he is my first horse on this mould and I just love it!


Here they are all together, so cute!

Perfect Purple Plastic CTF Live

Perfect Purple was the final show in the Colours of the Rainbow Lives series.

This show was for plastic CTF models such as Schleich and CollectA and had six sections all of which were full to the brim with gorgeous horses!

I think this show was quite special as everyone was on an equal footing, no expensive models at this show! It was a great day and it was wonderful to see so much variety.

It was also great to see some new faces and I hope you have all caught the live showing bug! It would be great to see you all again next year.

You can view the full set of pictures here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10154282728055155.1073742012.689360154&type=1&l=ddc85990c8

But as always here are some selected highlights :D

The mini whinnie section didn't take up much table space...


There were several of the new CollectA on show, this is my own Grevy's Zebra
