Vintage & Premier Club Grab Bags

If you are in the Breyer Vintage or Premier clubs then you can get hold of grab bags at the moment!

They are a random drawing, so you have to enter for them, and they are only available for club members. Go to www.breyerhorses.com and login to your account to enter.

They contain a random model from the previous years of the club. I've had a few of these over the years and have been able to add some lovely models to my herd and also get some ummm victims.

I've entered for the vintage one, I haven't been a member the last few years so hoping I'll get one from then and not one of the ones I already have!!! 

If you do get one let me know who you get! And if you get a duplicate of one you already have shout, I may be able to rehome it for you :)

I would be over the moon if I got picked and got a Rockford in mine! HE SO SHINY!

Mackenzie

Sorry I completely forgot to share this one yesterday! I was distracted by spotty ponies.

I say this every year (I know) but the BreyerFest plush is just AWESOME! I can't wait to add him to my army of little Breyer plushies who are going to TAKE OVER THE WORLD



I mean look at his ickle hat and scarf! IT'S ADORABLE!



He is literally the cutest thing.

Bilberry

Bilberry is the latest Collector's Club release from Breyer. He is a beautiful leopard spotted pony on the Bouncer mould.




If you are a collector's club member you can enter for him now at www.breyerhorses.com

Seminar Updates

I know I did a blog post with a list back in April but to be fair that isn't that helpful! So today I did the first stage of a bit of a website overhaul that will see all the seminars linked and listed on the site for people to watch forever more.

As part of this I have added a full schedule of the upcoming seminars. I have also added an option for you to vote for the next one in the series! There is even an 'other' box if there is something in particular you would like to see:

https://www.chestnutridge.co.uk/seminar-schedule.html#/

I am slowly working on downloading and then uploading the last two onto YouTube, but as I'm sure you can imagine this is quite a painful task when you have internet as slow as mine! My hope is that each week we can add them online so you can watch them in your own time and of course pause them, particularly good for the make alongs.

Finally, I know that last week's didn't really go as planned, a combination of overtired, being in a bad headspace and the idea not really working meant that it wasn't great. I'm hoping this will change on Friday! Friday's seminar is in the evening so if you like we can also have a bit of a social. Should I get drunk whilst grooming model horses? I don't see how that could ever go wrong. Take a shot everytime I knock something!

BreyerFest Swag Sale

From tomorrow onwards Breyer are going to be pre-selling the BreyerFest swag through their website.

This is open to everyone, so you don't need a BF ticket to buy the items. I'm definitely going to be grabbing myself a t-shirt or something, although I may leave it until actual BreyerFest to do so!

You can find out more here: https://www.breyerhorses.com/blogs/breyerfest-blog/fling-shop-swag

Here are some of the t-shirt designs:

Seminar #5 - Preparing Your Model Horses for Showing

So I think we learned yesterday that airbrushing seminars don't really work! But it was worth a try.

Our next seminar will be on preparing your horses for showing, in particular it will look at how to prepare haired models and CTF models for showing, as a judge I see a lot of really badly prepared models and quite frankly you are not going to do well at shows if your horse turns up looking like its just rolled out of bed!

Seminar Date: 15th May 2020

Time: 19:00 BST (UK Time)

Location: https://www.facebook.com/chestnutridgemodels/

This will be a nice evening seminar, so feel free to bring a drink, get on the chat section and enjoy :)
