Three New Customs

Somehow I'm actually managing to get some paint on horses! Not sure how, I seem to never have time for anything at the moment.

First up is this iron grey G2 Morgan that was done as part of a tutorial. He was also the custom section prize for Majestic Minty.

Second is the prize for the AR section at minty. This little guy is a leopard spot Sandman resin.

And finally is 'Brian'. Brian is a commission piece and is a palomino on the Samson resin.

Majestic Minty Mini Live

Majestic Minty Mini Live was run on Saturday and was a specialist live show for smaller scale model horses.

It was the fourth in our Colours of the Rainbow Lives series.

The show was a great success, many of the classes were really full and there was such a beautiful variety of model horses on display.

The show raised £96.00 for the LGBT Foundation which gives us a running total of £374.00 this year so far! My aim was £500 so we are well on the way there :D
