Win a Custom Leopard Spot Foal

Well as it's spotty month I thought I would offer a pretty special prize.

Now I haven't painted him yet but I'm sure he will be gorgeous. The winning foal will be miniature, Stablemate or Paddock Pal scale. He will be leopard spot in colour but that's the only hint you are getting!

To win him you are going to need to do a bit of writing (I know work right *urgh*) but don't worry it will be fun :D

You can write either an essay or a story, it could be a real life tale or it could be a fictional story based on your own model horse yard.

The theme is: Your Story

The story must be in some way model horse related (either your own story with model horses or a fictional story based on your model horse yard - or anything else that you think fits).

The best entry will be featured on the Chestnut Ridge website. We may also feature pieces on our Blog, website and magazine. So you must be comfortable with your writing being available publicly. If you submit images with your piece make sure they are your own and you are happy with them being published.

For full information on how to enter please visit our website here: http://www.chestnutridge.co.uk/win-a-custom-leopard-spot-foal-113-w.asp

Here is a cute little foal painted a few years ago as a fun example :D

Spotted Photoshow

This month's theme is spotted horses so of course we are running a spotted photoshow.

This photoshow is for any spotted coloured model horse (we are using spotted not appaloosa because this show is open to any breed or type not just Appaloosa horses).

The horse can show any type of spotted colouration and can be of any breed or type, just no decorator or fantasy models please.

This model horse photoshow is completely free to enter and is open to all. All our photoshows have certificates for 1st-6th place and a rosette and goody bag for the winners. We run a new show each month so definitely keep checking back for the next show!

Our shows are split by age so don't worry if you aren't very experienced, we have a huge variety of entrants of all abilities.

Top Tip! 

Make sure you can see the entire horse in the photograph.

If you would like to enter this show please visit our website for full details: http://www.chestnutridge.co.uk/spotted-photoshow-94-w.asp

Griffin and Calvin

My latest Breyer USA parcel arrived last week and inside we had Griffin along with my second Calvin.

Griffin is the latest Breyer Collector's Club Web Special. He is a rather orange palomino hence why Brendon has named him CRS Donald Trump!

And next up is my second Calvin. The two colours I wanted were the blue blanket spot and the bay blanket spot, well clearly the god's were with me because my second one was the bay!

I've named him Napoleon (as we already have Calvin number one :p). He is rather lush.

Bristol

Bristol is the first release in the 2018 Premier Club.

The 2018 club is now open to join at www.breyerhorses.com if you wish to sign up.

Bristol is sculpted by Morgen Kilbourn.

I'm really excited for a new jumper! But sadly finances won't allow for PC membership next year, so will just have to seek one out on the second hand market instead.

The latest Breyer Web Specials are just STUNNING! A gorgeous Unicorn mare and foal on the Giselle and Gilen moulds.

They are currently only available to Collector's Club members but will be on general sale shortly.
