Crimson Coral CM Live 2017

Yesterday was our first show of the season (and also my first one I attended). I am knackered (walked 7 miles yesterday just round the hall) but it was a great day and everyone seemed to have a nice time :)

The show was the first in the Colours of the Rainbow Lives series, each of these shows is a specialist show for a specific type of models. As the name suggests Crimson Coral is a specialist show for custom finish model horses.

The show was held in Lewknor, Oxfordshire. Thankfully the weather held off to some extent and the snow wasn't so bad nobody could get there! Although the hall was very cold despite Brendon's best efforts to warm it up!

The show raised £148.00 for the LGBT Foundation. As with last year we will add up all the money raised throughout the year and get a full total at the end of the year. If we can raise the same amount at the rest of the shows we could raise over £1000! So please make sure to bring lots of money for raffle tickets and book your space at one of the remaining shows that is not yet full :D

Anyway, enough talk, more photographs!

Blossom & Belle

The first of this year's vintage club models arrived yesterday.

They are both beautiful and I just love the boxes with their little handles. I don't feel I can throw it away (yes I do throw them away...), but not sure I can really store four boxes just because I think they are pretty!

Anyway here they are in their pretty rugs:



And this is CRS Perri aka Blossom



And CRS Old Yeller aka Belle

Another BF Sneak Peak

If you have already seen the pictures of this one it isn't much of a sneak peak!



Definitely the Bluegrass Bandit, but I think the mould is pretty obvious even without already knowing what it is :p

I am so in love with these ponies :D They are so big and cuddly and plush and soft and wonderful.
