Chance to get 2015 Breyer Models - Not Available in UK!

I will be ordering some models in from the US on Friday. Because I have to buy in boxes of 6 I need to take pre-orders to help fund getting more variety in.

To guarantee you get the model you want you need to pre-order it. The more horses that are pre-ordered the more variety in the eventual stock smile emoticon

Horses have to be pre-ordered by Friday. They will arrive in May. There won't be another chance to get these models until I place another order in May (so will arrive around July/August time).

Each model that is pre-ordered comes with a free Breyer Stablemate. All UK shipping is free, no matter how much you order!

Raising Zambia Live

A quick post....I have literally 3 minutes to write this!

So a big thank you to Jody and Annmarie for a great day. Some beautiful horses and a lovely day out, o and chips at lunch, massive bonus!

Highlight of the day...definitely the vodka!

So how many pictures will my evil slow computer allow me to share in 3 minutes!

Not many...it took a minute to do this one!

It's News Time

Well hello all. I promised exciting news today and here it is.

This is something that I'm really excited about and hopefully you guys will be too. In fact it's been made a little bit more exciting as we have extra news *yay*.

Soooo the news before I blab on about life the Universe and everything for a bit...

Chestnut Ridge is now an official Breyer stockist!

This is something we have wanted to do for a while and now seems like the right time to do it. We've had a good talk with Breyer's UK distributor, placed our first order and talked about getting some of the models that aren't currently in their catalogue into the UK (this is predominantly Picasso, Jubilation (the Mule), the SM Mystery Foal sets & the Autism awareness horse, but if there is anything else you want please just ask).

So we have placed a relatively small order for now but as I said we are going to ask for the horses above and once we have sold some we can invest in more. Every order we place we'll add more variety. We are working on a high variety low stock basis, so if there is anything you want please just get in touch.

So what have I chosen?

Well this is what I ordered today, they should hopefully be with us in time for Raising Zambia on Saturday!

SM Best of British Set
Best of British Connemara
Best of British Welsh
Best of British Shetland
Polo Pony
Poly Pony Tack & Rider
Glitterati
SM Singles
Mini Whinnie Surprise Models
SM Horse Lovers Shadow Box
Classic Horse of the Year - Liam
Classic A Champion is Born
Snowman
Deer Family

It's only a small selection but includes some really nice models, I've seen them all in the flesh and I've chosen sets that I really like and I hope hobbyists will like as well.

What's great is we can deliver to any show that I attend and as a hobbyist I know what you guys want, so really hoping you will be happy with what we offer. By 2016 we hope to stock the entire range.

Today I also got the chance to see the Copperfox models in the flesh (gorgeous) as well as see the Breyer Christmas Horse in the flesh! So all in all a great day, I also got to look at glitter quarter marks for real horses.....definitely think I should stock those!

So what's the other exciting news?

Well we also now stock Beswick models! This wasn't planned but I saw, I liked what I saw and I placed an order. They have some beautiful new models and having seen them in the flesh I can tell you they will definitely be worth having. A bit more pricey than the Breyer's but still gorgeous!

Anyway I'll leave you with some pictures of the new Breyer Best of British range, taken today (on my phone...)

Sparklies

I like sparkly things. I have decided that sparkly rugs are a good thing.

I tried out a heart and star, on pink and blue felt. I really should have ironed the pink felt first!

Still really happy with them, they look really cool!

More BF Models

Second I can't remember if I shared C'est Bon or not? He is the Early Bird Raffle model:
