Rosita - In the Flesh Pictures

Rosita is a beautiful new china by Horsing Around. I had the pleasure of seeing three of these girls in person on Sunday at the AA live show.

Here is a link to the HA site:

Three New Customs

There new models to show to you.

First up is a little bay leopard appaloosa foal

A little resin foal with Ben d'Or spots

A little resin pony with birdcatcher foals

Bayberry and Roses

The Breyer Christmas horse this year is 'Bayberry and Roses'.

To say I'm not impressed is an understatement. There is absolutely nothing special about this model. It is, as far as I can tell, the existing Breyer RR Esprit (the mulberry grey one) which looks like a small child has thrown random stuff on it.

The costume just doesn't work, the model isn't anything special. Generally just lazy it seems.

Sugar Daddy

The Great British Dust Off

This was Sunday's show. I honestly cannot thank the people at this show enough, I had really fallen out of love with this hobby of late and this show completely reinvigorated my love for plastic ponies.

Here is a link to all the pictures;
