BreyerFest Models

First of all a massive thank you to Aidan's Toy Trove who sourced these beauties for me from BreyerFest. I cannot recommend them enough. You can find their website here: http://aidanstoytrove.com/

First up is the celebration model, I've named him CRS Flight Stallion



I'm not a massive fan of the mould, breed wise he is very good, just not to my tastes. But a lovely example of the breed and so nice to have something a bit different.



He has an adorable face though :p



Second up is my first special run, Sheila (named CRS Sheila's Wheels). My third Bobby Jo, she is just gorgeous!



And finally, I screamed when I first saw this one, there was no way he was not joining my herd! So I paid up and here he is :D



Named CRS Saturnalia



The detail on this model is just incredible. I know some people's had flaws but I seem to have been lucky in all three of my guys that their condition is brilliant. So incredibly in love with this boy!



And to finish...here are the trio :D

Inspirations Live 2016

First of all a massive thank you to Dani for a great day. It was a really well run show, with loads of classes and loads of new faces to say hello to.

We also had a pretty easy journey there and back which was great :)

Was delighted with how my ponies did (they did mummy proud as always).

As always I have some selected photographs below, but you can view all the pictures here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10154244488610155.1073742010.689360154&type=1&l=fea112ec9b
