The Weekend That Was

Well more the Sunday that was as I worked all day Saturday...

First up is packing for BMECS....haven't even managed two boxes...

The packing station


The wrapping up and cleaning station


Box number two in progress


This is a Western saddle that is currently in progress. It will be tan and black when finished. So far in the process of cutting it out, all dyed in a nice dark tan


This is surprisingly a grackle bridle. It will eventually be brown with silver hardware and a D-ring bit


This is a light dapple grey Hanoverian that is currently in progress as a commission piece


This boy is another commission piece, he will eventually be cremello


This will be my BMECS donation piece. A diamonte covered mini whinnie!

Frankel

Meant to do a post about this guy ages ago but didn't get round to it! Personally I would have preferred the Lonesome Glory mold but Smarty is OK too...

Indian Pony

Here's a nice one for you. I'm not much a fan of the mold but the colour is nice and it has feathers. Cat likes feathers

Fourth Vintage Club Model

The fourth vintage club model has been released....not too amused that it has to be purchased by Sep 19th as I just had enough money for the premier model and don't get paid till the 21st...lets hope the student loan arrives!

Anyway its not a great model....I'm not really a fan at all. But meet Kiowa

New Breyer 'Horse Crazy' Items

There are two new products being added to the range. One is already available in the US the other is coming soon.

The first is a horse activity set, the set itself isn't great but the model is absolutely adorable

The new silver dapple Stablemate being released with it:



The second I rather like! You get your own cardboard stable that you can colour in. Nothing special with the model though I'm afraid just a paso fino from a few years back:
