Cosette

Cosette is a new web exclusive that has priority access to club members.

I actually really like her. A nice old mold that is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but actually quite appealing to me! Also I like the colour :p

Anyway here she is:




She is $25 from www.breyerhorses.com

Off on Holiday!

OK so I know I haven't blogged in aaagggggeeeessss so it probably seems like I'm already on holiday!

But I'm away from the 18th of August - 2nd of September.

So if you want to get in touch with me and I'm not replying that's why! I'm not ignoring you (I promise).

Currently trying to decide which model is going to make the trip with me...think it will have to be Crackers! He'll never forgive me otherwise!

3 Day Event Postal Show

I am thinking of running a postal show series next year based around the idea of a 3-day event.

So I am doing a test show over the next month or so. It is for charity and there is a £3.00 entry fee. You can win ribbons :)

All completely randomized and fun :D Entries can be by email or post at your choice.

If you are on Facebook you can find out more info here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1455797798017024/

If not then just email me: competitions@chestnutridge.co.uk

I'll send over all the details including the dates, entry forms and schedule.

Work In Progress

So I thought I would share with you what is happening in my studio at the moment!

First up....I murdered a mini whinnie!


He will eventually (I hope) end up something like this (not my picture):


Next up is a brindle pony:


Who should end up looking like this (not my picture):


Now a brown Mini who has been added onto a base:


Who will hopefully turn into this (not my picture):


This is a commission I'm currently working on and the test model. Will eventually be a pintaloosa. The larger model is the commission, the mini is the tester.


And just a general shot of a whole load of ponies!

Sussex Showdown

A really good and relaxed show. Liz did an amazing job both at running the show and removing the cat on a rather regular basis!

All the pictures:

Cassandra

I was so lucky to get this girl on time payments and be able to take her home :D

She is a really stunning model, I have wanted an Equorum fantasy model for ages and this girl was just gorgeous.



Here is a size comparison with one of my Traditional Breyers
