Although I forgot to give him a tail, which is a bit weird. But I honestly didn't notice until I'd finished, photographed and uploaded his pictures!
If you'd like a rather unique looking key chain he is £3.00

This guy is so cute, I'm almost tempted not to sell him!

Tatianna
I'm not too happy with this foal, I just don't think the colour really worked. I dunno. Maybe I'll sell her on.
Anyway for now she is packed up ready for tomorrow's show.
She is a Maggie Bennett pewter mini
Her colour was described as something odd like black perlino or something. Anyway she is basically a double dilute pinto
This picture shows up her size! She is TINY!

Tetrach Spots Commission Piece
This commission piece was for one of our club members, did you know with your membership you get a free Stablemate paint job every year?
The requested colour was similar to one I did a few years back, a rose grey with tetrach spots. I found a decent reference picture that was slightly different.
The model provided is the G3 Stablemate Cantering Warmblood.
I was really apprehensive before starting. Sometimes I just look at a reference picture and think "how am I going to create that".
But once she had a few layers of pastelling it was clear she was actually working out quite well.
I'm really happy with her colour. Reference horse had two heavy white stockings on the back legs but I chose not to add those as I don't think it would have enhanced the colour at all.
Her new owner seems happy, which is all that matters, but for once I think I'm sort of happy as well. I quite like this girl!
If you want to get your paws on a free Stablemate paint job then you should definitely join our member's club. It is just one of the awesome benefits you receive: http://www.chestnutridge.co.uk/chestnut-ridge-members-club-929-p.asp

Horse and Hearts Riding Club
The latest range from Build a Bear definitely gets a mention here. The range consists of two horses and a selection of cute accessories.
Clearly something every model horse collector needs to add to their herd (I strongly maintain everyone needs a plushy for live show stress cuddles)
Horse one is a palomino AQH
Also available with tack (that you can buy separately)
Horse two is a bay Thoroughbred
Again you can buy her with tack or buy the tack separately
Some of the accessories available:
Seriously who thought of a cuddly hay bale!!!
Tack is available in three different designs.
I am just going to have to save my money for these! I already have a complete collection of the Build a Bear My Little Ponies, so clearly I need this range as well!
And obviously I will be entering one in performance...

Three More Customs
First up is the final one from the last batch, a teeny tiny night heather to a wild bay
With her sisters, about to be trampled by Hucks!
She is looking for a new home if you would like her.
Second is Blackout
He is a Breyer G3 Jumper done to a seal bay
He has already found a new home!
And third and finally (although definitely not least, especially by size) is Blame It On You
He is a Schleich Palomino Stallion done to a 'black buckskin'
I quite like this one, I wasn't convinced by the colour but I think it has worked out quite well
He is also looking for a new home :)
