Another Auction Model
One we've technically already seen before. Really not a fan of this one, not my favourite mould and not a fan of the colour tone. But I'm sure someone will love him :)

Stallion Photoshow
Grab your stallions this month's show on Popular Votes Photoshows is all about Stallions!

It is rather fitting I think seeing as our Chestnut Ridge photoshow is all about mares and foals.

Enjoy :D

Catching Up on Auction Models
I've missed quite a few so here we go:
I'm going to start with the best one, I need this pony in my life!

A really nice rose grey Andalusian

Another really nice colour, I don't have a MFT in my collection yet, think I'm going to have to get one on this mould at some point!

And another of the duplicate ones, this one is the same as the Open Show prize.

Didmarton OF, CM & CTF Live
We had a great day at Didmarton on Saturday. As it isn't too long of a drive there wasn't a very early start, the journey was made more enjoyable by much Pokemon hunting on the way!
After a stop for coffee and a lot of shouting as we attempted to catch Pokemon whilst Brendon drove down the M4 we arrived at Didmarton hall (and were delighted to learn it was a Pokestop).
Arriving early as always we helped set up and let Brandy 'exercise' bit before she settled down under her table. I had a lot of horses to show so was grateful to steal some space off Laura so that I could fit everyone in!
The show was split into several sections starting off with Breyer OF and Peter Stone OF. One thing I love about this show is that the Peter Stone classes are split between OF and FCM which means that my not particularly exciting Stones that are just standard can actually have a chance of winning :) I was very happy with a rather old quarter horse who took a 1st place.
The small CopperFox section was also slotted in. There were a lot of Welsh!
We then moved on to Repaint CM and Other CM, some gorgeous horses on show, the repaint section is always nice and the other CM section had some gorgeous drastic models on show.
The show finished with CTF, split into Bendy, Plastic and Other. The other section had loads of cute cuddly furry things, including an adorable little donkey! It also proved a good excuse for me to get out my My Little Ponies.
But enough talk, pictures! Here is a link to all the images: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10154174816295155.1073742006.689360154&type=1&l=0d74c7a8b8
And as always here are some selected highlights:
The OF Breyer Appaloosa class was very varied!

I still need to get me one of these, they are so beautiful

The chaos that was my corner!

Honeysuckle
The final release in the berries series and, as several people have pointed out, it isn't even a berry.
But it is still rather adorable, I quite like the colour and weirdly Fluffiner is kinda growing on me as a mould...
That said with the exchange rate even if by some miracle I do get picked it's going to be a costly pony!

Rugs, Rugs and More Rugs
I've been rug making this week. Nothing special, just cute little felt ones for Schleichs. My model is a very well behaved Friesian mare (she has been standing on my desk like a good little girl, I promised her new clothes if she behaved herself).
First up we have blue:

Then we have yellow:

Then orange:

And finally purple:

All of them are for sale at £2.00 each, so far all apart from the purple are listed at www.chestnutridge.co.uk
