Didmarton OF/CM/CTF Live

Yesterday was the second Didmarton live of the year. This show was for original finish, custom finish plastic and CTF model horses. There were loads of sections and some beautiful rosettes on offer.

The show was run by Yvette in Gloucestershire and is a firm favourite each year, it is always such a competitive show!

I was alone for the day so didn't bring too many models (couldn't handle dog, sales and lots of models)!

It was great to see everyone including some new faces :) I hope you all love your new CollectA!

As always here are all my pictures: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10155307232440155.1073742047.689360154&type=1&l=54d1d3cf2a
