Pony Shopping (Again)

So at the show last week I may have gone a little OTT with my pony shopping. This included phrases such as "it was a really good price" and "but I've always wanted this model" which let's face it are really dangerous phrases when it comes to me and model horse shopping!

So who did I buy? Well in my defence one of these was won in the raffle and I bought one a couple of weeks ago and just haven't photographed him yet, so those don't count right? Well I'm not gonna lie it was a bit of an expensive shopping trip, but not too expensive, I mean Beetle really was a good price, honest.

First up is CRS Beetlejuice

Beetle is a gorgeous AA Warmblood and he really was a good deal! I just fell in love with his colour, is he not stunning?


Second is CRS Absolute Zero (Zero)

Zero is a Schleich Knabstrupper Foal and is part of the new 2019 range. I found him in a toy shop and, well, finding a Schleich in good condition is so hard to do I just had to give him the home he deserved!


Third is CRS Durendel (Duren)

What an appropriate name? I really wanted this one when Donna first created him, but someone beat me to it. So when that person put him up for sale I just had to have him!


Fourth is CRS Acajou (Acai)

Obviously I needed a new Julip Fjord foal, I mean this one is at least on a different mould! But isn't she the cutest thing?


Finally is CRS Acid Green

Merlin is part of the new series of Mini Whinnie surprise models and is what I won in the raffle (along with a Stablemate Surprise model that I already have). I love this mould, it is one of the nicest Mini Whinnie moulds, so definitely a good win! He's in good condition as well, so he'll be up for coming to a couple of shows I think.


I hope you enjoyed seeing my rather eclectic collection of new arrivals :) I promise to be good at the next show on Sunday and not do so much shopping...honest gov...

North East Wales Live

Last Saturday we headed off to North Wales (a lot shorter drive than it used to be) to attend one of our favourite shows of the year, and not just because Brandy gets salami!

North East Wales Live is a huge show, with loads of sections and quite a few entries as a result. It's an absolute pleasure to judge at as the standard is really high, it also makes you feel rather lovely when your horses place :D

I had another day of second places (story of my life right now) but I'm not too bothered as it was a wonderful day out. Plenty of laughs and silliness which is all you need from a show really.

I also had the pleasure of judging some amazing classes including the Supreme Championship. There was an incredibly high standard of entries for the supreme and any of them could have placed overall.

Full pictures can be found on my Facebook profile here: https://www.facebook.com/catisgreen/media_set?set=a.10157037108375155&type=3

But as always here are my selected highlights from the day.
