Welcoming Julip Horses to Our Yard

Chestnut Ridge is really pleased to announce that they will be welcoming Julip Horses to their yard. Our first order has been placed and they should be with us shortly.

I've been a Julip collector for many years and it is great to see the Horse of the Year products being given a new lease of life. With a huge range of brilliant accessories and play sets I'm sure they are going to be popular. They also make great accessories to your Julip Originals yard and I'm sure will be loved by both Horse of the Year and Originals collectors.

Everyone on the yard is definitely looking forward to this development!

Stablemate Collector's Club

It is now open!

Really happy to see that they've thought about the international issue (it did look at one point that we'd be pay $40+ shipping for each model...insane)!

But they've created an 'international' option where we get our models in two shipments with reduced shipping rates so it is more reasonable.

So I'm all signed up, yes it's a pain we won't get three of them until after the end of the show season, but still good that we don't have stupid shipping!

Completely forgot to blog this (bad Cat)

Anyway a better picture has emerged of the American Pharoah gallery piece:

Introducing Zeus

I will admit this RubberNedz obsession is getting a bit out of hand now...

So meet number four in the collection, the incredible, the wonderful, the mighty, Zeus



Donna has seriously outdone herself with him, he is absolutely STUNNING! He is huge and rubbery and has a fluffy mane and a horn and he is AMAZING



As you can probably tell he doesn't actually have a stand yet, so had to use a disguised box to make him stand up!



Look at his adorable face!



O and apparently coffee works quite well to make him stand also
