BF Special Run Sneak Peak

It's DECORATOR TIME!

Win a Vintage Club Halo

I am in the process of clearing out old stock and cleaning up the website and I was wondering what to do with this guy.



I could have listed him to eBay at a 99p start like the others...but that didn't seem quite right.

So I've decided to offer him as a competition prize.

To enter all you have to do is place an order over £25.00 at www.chestnutridge.co.uk before Monday.

You can enter as many times as you like, the more orders you place, the more entries you get!

He's a really beautiful horse, worth well over £100, and an unusual find in the UK :) In fact apart from my own one I've never seen another one in the show ring!

Cypress

Cypress is now available to order for Vintage club members.

I cannot wait to get mine! I do love Woodgrains

Llandegla Live 2017

Sorry it's taken a few days to do this, I'm still a bit under the weather and attempting to catch up all the work that should have been done over the last few weeks whilst I was ill!!

Anyway full photographs are here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10154938696160155.1073742030.689360154&type=1&l=3dd3265db2

It was a really great day, despite feeling like death. The toasted sandwiches next door were a particular highlight!!!

Here are some selected photos from the day, I didn't take very many I'm afraid!

Darjeeling

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't blogged in a while (I need to share the pics from last weekend) but for now here is a picture of another BF special run.

And isn't he gorgeous! I am definitely adding this one to my want list!

Say Hello to Goose & Mountain

Are my model horse names getting worse? Most probably.

Anyway, first up is CRS The Man On The Mountain (Mountain). I won him in the raffle at OMG Orange. He's really pretty :D



I really love winning random Breyers in raffles. They are often models I'd never have gone out and actively bought but they add to the collection, and some of them are so lovely in the flesh. This guy is definitely an example. I also think he is my first plaited SJW, I'll need to check, but pretty sure everyone else has long manes!

And secondly is CRS Grey Goose



Goose was my Christmas present from Brendon and is RubberNed number 17. I'm loving these little Nedlets, they are so cute!

Holi

Holi will be one of the store specials at BF this year and I'm well excited because......ELEPHANT!!!!!!!!!!
