POWIE Live Show 2015

Well it was an unusual day yesterday! I'm not sure I ever expected to be explaining vajazzles at a live show nor be not to sure about whether I actually was proud to win a rosette...

But Laura, Vicki and Melody (and Melody's mum) did a great job, thank you so much guys :D

Full pictures of 'The Pony Way Is Essex Live' can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10153434504285155.1073741960.689360154&type=1&l=6a63cc49bf

Green & Yellow Arab Halter

This was a commission for one of the winners of our massive competition.

They asked for a classic scale Arabian halter in green and yellow.

I've actually never done Classic scale ones before (I know what is wrong with me) but created a nice simple design.

You can now order these halters for just £2.50 each, in any colour you want. They aren't yet on the website but you can email me at: catriona@chestnutridge.co.uk

Beautifully modelled by a Johar body from my body box!

Brand New Best of British Models - In the Flesh

Thank you Breyer for again creating three beautiful models, I'm not really a fan of the Highland, but I don't particularly like the Haflinger mould.

However, the other two are just gorgeous! I say two, of course I mean three, we cannot forget that adorable little Corgi.

First up is the Irish Draught:

In the box....bit sunny today!


With a bit less glare!


No horrible plastic!


His neck and head, I've always preferred the hogged Cleveland Bay but the colour on his mane is gorgeous.


And his head!


Tail and big bum!


And more shots of his body:


And a different one in his box:


He looks kinda sad...but Breyer have really nailed the eyes!


And a third one:


Next up is the Shire and Corgi set. Why put a Shire and a Corgi together you ask? Well because they are both awesome and cute and because, why not!

In their box:



Slightly better!


No plastic! Just look at this guy! So beautiful!


Hello pretty face, look at your lovely blue ribbons!


Nice crisp white markings


Another picture of the lovely pair:


Hello cutey!


GAH! Cuteness!


His blue ribbons are just lovely


And another picture (you may have guessed I'm a little bit in love)


A different set:


And finally...the Highland Pony

In his box


I was wondering what the colour would turn out to be, definitely a cream dun


Random wonky picture


And the plastic is off! This guy has no dapples on his face, some had facey dapples. I prefer none.


Pony pony pony


Beautiful eyes!


Ooo someone has a dapply bum :p


And a dapply side!


A far more dappled variation


And that's it!
