Juniper
O look another gorgeous collector's club model I won't get picked for *grumbles*
Juniper is the latest Collector's Club special run. Interesting pattern, definitely very different!

Tack, Tack and More Tack
Just when you think your on top of your orders then *poof* more tack to make. Although at least for a few minutes today I had a wonderful moment where all tack was complete and I could go back to my obsessive Classic scale tack making.
The final order I had to complete was this stud girth. Unfortunately my patterns have all vanished so I had to create a new one, but I'm not sure I ever had one large enough for Traditional heavy horses so may have had to do a new one anyway!
Stud girth is made from brown leather with padding and silver hardware.
I'm intrigued as to what the new owner is planning with a heavy horse size girth!
I do like these, they are pretty simple to make but they are very effective once on the horse. They also mean you can use up odd bits of felt for the padding that are marked (in this case it had drawings of what looked to be a rabbit on it, no idea)
Anyway that is off to its new home today.
Which meant I could spend some time on my obsessive Classic scale tack making. This week I've moved on to head stalls. Unfortunately I'm already out of two slot halter rings so a prompt end has been called, but quite happy with the two I created.
This one is black leather with silver hardware and has been made to fit my ever patient AQH mare.
Some day little mare I will paint you and you can go out into the world and have a more fruitful life than as part of my body box.
For the second one I decided to do a slightly larger one. This has been made to fit the more modern Breyer classics which are a bit bigger, I needed a suitable victim, as there was nothing in my body box I had to choose a shelf piece that was already not LSQ. In this case Mariah (who lets face it is never going to be a show horse)
Again I went for black leather but I chose gold hardware for this girl, more out of necessity than anything else as those were the only halter slots I had!
Both of the headstalls are for sale at www.chestnutridge.co.uk and you can also order your own stud girth (or headstall) to be made to order.
Tomorrow I may move on to rug making, although the lack of templates may mean new template creating!

More Breyer 2016 Horses - In the Flesh
OK first of all an apology! Genius here managed to bring over two boxes of Harpers instead of a box of Harpers and a box of Competing at the Games, so no decent camera pictures of the later! I will add in my phone picture though, the palomino is gorgeous :)
These all came in today and can be purchased at www.chestnutridge.co.uk
First of all....GROUP SHOT :D
Right now onto the horses. I've only bought two for myself, Babyflo and Hickory Hills so those are the only out of box pictures at the moment. I'd like to add American Pharoah and the Stablemates as well at some point, so keep checking back.
Starting off with the in-box pictures
First up, American Pharoah
Babyflo
Rhapsody in Black
Hickory Hills Wall Street
Grulla Horse & Foal
Bay Horse & Foal
Grey Horse & Foal
Appaloosa Horse & Foal
Cherry Creek Fonzie Merit
UPDATE!
Finally got the Competing at the Games Set for pictures:
Onto the out of box pics...
First up...CRS Alisa Summers aka Hickory Hills Wall Street
THAT FACE!
And next up, CRS Lashauwn Beyond aka Babyflo
Hope you enjoyed! Finally..phone picture of Competing at the Games

Brigadeiros
Brigadeiros is the BreyerFest live show reserve champion prize.
I'm not a fan of the mould but it is nice to see different moulds being used.

Nashira and Nebula
I actually finished off two resins yesterday but I felt Celestia deserved her own post, particularly as her pictures were hidden behind the other resins on Facebook.
So meet CRS Nashira (Celestia) and her little friend Nebula
She is an AA China Venus with unicorn horn and cat
Her base is dark blue with black shading
Her mane and tail are dark purple with black shading and gloss for emphasis
Her details have been done in silver with gloss on top, her eye has purple as the iris instead of brown
Her base is solid black with silver leaves with clear gold glitter on top
Nebula is done in white with pink and purple shading and gold glitter with purple eyes
Her background stars are simply white paint applied with a cocktail stick
Her stand out stars are all silver gems, they have been done in the shape of constellations. So if you can spot any let me know what you think you can see!
A better shot of her base:
And a lying down shot to show off her colour in better light
Celestia will be joining my show string but with three new AA unicorns and two unqualified for this year I think we are going to have to do a bit of unicorn rotating at the next few shows!
