American Pharoah

Picture isn't great but LOOK!

There was so much talk about what mold it would be on but I bet none of you guessed this!

Yep it's a modified Ruffian, with man parts and a new tail...o and a cute little G2 Thoroughbred to go with him (although not sure if this is also modified to make it a boy :p)

And a Christmas ornament as well

2nd class standard postage is free - can also send by courier or special delivery or 1st class. She can also be collected from Hot to Trot Live or Southern Roundup.

If offers go over £130 I will through in free Special Delivery postage.

Payment by PayPal, Cheque or Postal Order or cash on collection from either of the above live shows.

New Babies

I have new babies in my possession! Came today.

First up is this years Collectors Club Special Run - Talulah. Compared to last years she is so much better. Yes there are still an unbelievable number of factory flaws but she is very pretty and not rubbed or damaged (unlike Rajah)

Her name is Talulah and her show name is CRS On Parables

Because postage was so pricey just for her she came with friends to make it seem more worth while! At least that is my excuse.

First up are Glitter and Gem

CRS A Little Fable (Glitter)

CRS Poseidon (Gem)

And also El Blanco and Sedonna, wasn't sure where my wire cutters had disappeared to so they are staying in their box for now!

El Blanco is called CRS Abweisung and Sedonna is CRS The Bucket Rider

Black Jack

The latest model and book in the Canterwood Crest series (if you'd like us to get this model in please just get in touch)

Look at this picture! Even the generic Breyer pictures show the model as being flawed! They could have at least dusted it...

ASOTH 2015

This show was a little odd as it was sorta thrown together last minute as the show holder was unable to run it.

So I think it is fitting to throw a massive thank you to a few people.

Firstly to Laura who basically took over the entire show, despite not actually meaning to be there!

Secondly to Nicki and Amy who were incredible, they helped run it, set it up and generally were just awesome despite having it hoisted on them last minute.

And to everyone else who helped judge and make it such a good show. It ran really smoothly and had a pretty early finish which is always nice!

Anyway the thing you actually want to see! PICTURES!

Full album of photos: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10153321532745155.1073741948.689360154&type=1&l=39f80303e5

Very proud of this set up :p

This is the OF Breyer Polo Set. Doesn't it look amazingly good with a bit of work? (you can buy the horse, rider and tack from Chestnut Ridge here: http://www.chestnutridge.co.uk/search,b.html?q=polo )
