OK I AM IN LOVE! I need one of these so badly, isn't she just adorable?

She is another BF store special

Classic Nylon Halters

Someone requested we offer these months ago and I'm ashamed to say I've only just got around to adding them to the website!



I whipped up a nice purple one for this Shire today to act as the example piece.



And you can find them for sale here: http://www.chestnutridge.co.uk/rope-halter-42255-p.asp



P.S. We recently had issues with a lot of our photographs being used elsewhere and so I've started to watermark everything, hence the addition of the CR logo! Yes it's an easy one to remove but I don't think the person who was taking them had the greatest level of intelligence, hopefully it should at least make it obvious. If I have to properly watermark in future, I will.

Two New Western Bridles

Apparently this is the in thing to order at the moment :)

Love a nice Western bridle (although I'm nearly out of bits...aaaaa)

First up is this nice black and grey bridle with sparkles



Second is this lovely two ear bridle with a beautiful cast western bit



Uniquely it was requested to be made for a Breyer heavy horse, Daisy rather likes it, she wonders whether she could be a barrel racer?

Chestnut Trakehner

I finished this pretty model on Sunday:



She was done as part of a tutorial and colour formula and painted entirely in Humbrol acrylics. You can find the colour formula here: https://www.facebook.com/pg/chestnutridgemodels/photos/?tab=album&album_id=10154667268446482



He is for sale here: http://www.chestnutridge.co.uk/cant-get-over-42219-p.asp

Love Hearts Live

No rest for the wicked! Yesterday we headed off to Kent for Love Hearts Live, a really small live show right on the coast (as you can see).

You can find the full photos here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10155137327880155.1073742040.689360154&type=1&l=7586230e62

We arrived early so decided to take Brandy for a quick walk along the cliffs, there was a beautiful view



Although Brandy was insistent that absolutely nothing bad would happen if she jumped off...



Anyway eventually we headed back to the hall for a very late start, I didn't get many pictures as I was showing rather a few too many horses, but here are a select few.
