Putting Together a Live Show List

I thought it would be really fun to share with you guys how I put together a show list for a model horse show.

The show I'm preparing for here is Mrs. P's CTF Show 2025. This is a specialist CTF show and has a slightly different class layout than your general show. You can see there a specialist classes for models such as WIA/CollectA or Schleich/Safari.

I haven't filmed the whole process as putting together a full show list takes a good few hours to do! But you get a good insight into how I decide which models I am going to take to a live show. It's also fun to see all the ridiculous names that I've given my models over the years!

Make sure to check in for a full show report from the show in a couple of weeks :)

My 20 Best CTF Models

 Hello all :)

Over the last few weeks I have been sharing some of my best models in my collection. Today we have my 20 best CTF models. I don't actually distinguish between plastic and bendy CTF for the purposes of my records (although weirdly I do on my breed list spreadsheet) so today they will be all together. 

There is a real variety of brands here although there is a clear focus on my RubberNedz, which is probably not unsurprising! I do have a few others in here as well though including a few unexpected pieces.

This is a great testament to the idea that you do not need millions to get successful horses. This includes some models that have cost just a few pounds, including one that was a child hood toy and came with a magazine! Yes some are super expensive, but lots of these guys weren't.

Rainbow Unicorns and Elves

 Due to the whole all my models are in boxes and I can't find the wire for the LED light tent situation (and where is the actual light tent, who knows?) I haven't really had the chance to share a lot of my new horses with you.

This is definitely made worse by the fact that half of them were shipped to my mum's house! She just received another shipment containing my BreyerFest glossies, I can't wait to get to hers and unbox all of these models!

But that is a long way off so let's have a look at my two new RubberNedz. The unicorn is actually still boxed somewhere but I photographed him before packing him, as for elf I got him like two days before I moved so I just took a picture on a shelf I'm afraid! Glamour shots will come at some point I'm sure :)

First up is my AMAZING rainbow unicorn Shetland. Donna really outdid herself with this one. I requested purple hooves and horn and got just what I wanted :D

So say hello to CRS Cithaerias Merolina aka Merolina



And next we have my Christmas present from Brendon. Donna promised that he would be naff and she wasn't wrong! He is so awful but so amazing at the same time.

CRS Peregrine Qazam (Buddy)


I actually really like his base coat colour, I think I'll have to get her to do me a cute little palomino foal but without the elfyness

Hopefully some more new pony updates coming soon! Just as soon as I can find the wire for that stupid light box....
