Halloweenies 2016

Always one of the best shows of the year, I had a wonderful time (although still rather annoyed I didn't win the RubberNed in the raffle, even if I did win plenty of other things :p).

A massive thank you to Claire for running yet another brilliant show.

Brandy also had a great time and would like more canine massages in future. Although she did not appreciate the little hat nor veil!

And finally a thank you to Mr. Lynne for helping me change my tyre...in the rain...not my idea of a fun way to spend a live show!

Anyway, full pictures can be found here:

And the first Stablemate club model (you can see the first Vintage club release in the background)



I'm definitely going to do the Stablemate club again next year. But I don't know about the premier club, the exchange rate is making everything so difficult :(

Leandro

This guy is technically my birthday present from Brendon. But as he is yet to pay me back I'm totally within my rights to play and admire him :)

I did want a RubberNed but when this guy came up for sale I just had to have him. Another member of the Silver conga :D

He has been named CRS Love Will Find a Way (which was our first dance...)



Only disappointment is he doesn't have little cat paws like the Stablemate G3 Mustang lion they did



But apart from that he is just gorgeous :D

Three New Horses

I won all three of these little cuties in the raffle at Pyjama Party live. So thought I better introduce you all the newbies!

First up is CRS Bendelacrem (Creme), a little Anne Helion custom G2 Clydesdale



Second is CRS Darienne Lake (Darienne), a custom G2 Paso Fino by Lydia



And finally is my favourite CRS Pablo Escobar (Pablo), a cute little G3 Highland

Diesel

The 5th release in the Stablemate club has been announced and he is a gambler's choice on the reiner mould.



Can't wait to see which one I get, got my fingers crossed for the glossy bay blanket spot!

The four variations:
