BreyerFest Single Day Stablemate Moulds

Single day tickets are now on sale and Breyer have released the four moulds that will be this year's special runs!

First up we have a G3 Paint Horse

Single1

Then a G3 Warmblood

single2

Then a G4 Driving

single3

And finally the G3 Thoroughbred

Some nice choices of moulds, I'm rather partial to the G4 Driving so can't wait to see what colour they choose for her!

Starlet

Remember Breyer's Who Wore It Best? last year to see who the next Collector's Club Special Run would be?

Well meet Starlet!



This was my first choice so I'm a happy potato :D I'm a less happy potato because I have other ponies to pay off so can't purchase her :( Hopefully she'll hang around until I'm richer! But check out my new found self control not pressing the order button immediately!

Ebony and Ivory Live 2018

It's been a busy four weeks with shows every weekend and I can't deny that I'm looking forward to having a few weeks off! With just one more live show before I move I am also enjoying the short journeys (the 45 minute trip to Ebony and Ivory on Saturday would have taken us nearly 3 hours from the new house...).

Anyway off with the moaning about how remote my new house is and onto the show report :D Thank you Caroline (and Neil) for a lovely day, beautiful weather and a nice cool hall which was good!

The show had a black and white theme (as you may have guessed from the title of this Blog post...which I'm sure is going to attract exactly the wrong type of internet searches) and some fun extra classes for piebald horses and ponies :D

It also had OF, CM & AR sections for all makes and models as well as a smaller CRC section at the end of the day.

The full set of photographs can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10156121243715155.1073742082.689360154&type=1&l=99c22c3038
