Zenyetta's Second Colt

Those of you who are interested in American racing will probably find the news that Zenyetta has had another colt (lucky them). This one is rather cute, it's the fluffy ears that do it for me!

The Live Show Project - Update

Many of you will be aware that at the beginning of the year I started a project. To live show every model I owed at least once. So how's it going? Well I thought I would update you!

First of all how many horses have I qualified...well the answer to that is 54 individual horses (including performance set ups) have been qualified so far. And I've only been to three shows! Dreading BMECS already :p

So what about all those horses that had never been shown before..

Well here are a few stats on them!

49 of the horses who have never been shown before have placed

22 horses who have never been shown before have BMECS qualfiied!

So not bad at all! I have found some real gems hiding amongst my collection, I have even had one horse who I have owned for 6 years and never shown take a champion!

Bare in mind that the above statistics do include 'new' horses but still :p

So yes, the project is actually going quite well. Another show in a week! It's really quite interesting to see what is placing, many horses who I had simply never contemplated ever showing before!

Ghost

Well like a Ghost Breyer snuck this on and didn't inform anyone (absolutely HATE it when they do this). Very disappointed as my husband would love this, would have made a brilliant birthday present.

Anyway meet 'Ghost'

More 2013 Models - In The Flesh

First up are the three Artist pieces. These are the same scale as the Parade of Breeds horses and are made of resin. The three depict horses from famous paintings.

First the wild mustang:






Second the very recognisable Stubbs horse






And finally Leonardo de Vinchi's a Gentlemans Mount






Next up the new Marwari model (I must warn you this horse wobbles like hell...)






And the Gypsy Vanner. Despite the fact that he looks awful in all the pictures I have seen I actually quite like him in the flesh. Although I'm not looking forward to painting that mane...
