PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Please Breyer, you've only ever picked me once in like five years. PLEASE PICK ME FOR THIS ONE!

If I don't get picked definitely be after this on the after market.

I'M IN LOVE!





Rosie & Bailey

The final release in this year's Vintage club is now available.

I'm a real sucker for the strawberry roan colour. I love this pair to bits, they are just adorable. Definitely not to everyone's tastes but they will be great shelf models :)

A new special run from CopperFox. Black on the Irish Sports Horse mould.

Agamemnon Rex

Can't believe I've never introduced this guy! This is RubberNed number 10!



I've been after a bay Arab stallion and when I saw this guy on the RT I just couldn't resist. He is beautiful. He is also now father to Pip (Duchess is Pip's mum).



Thankfully Pip is a boy so think he is safe from sacrifice as it stands...



He's rather angry about things though!

There are varying entry types including paid entries where you can win prizes :D It is open to all makes and models, the horses could even be broken, that is the joy of postal shows.

The shows have the theme of a 3 Day Event with sections from BE80(T) right up to CCI****. Horses receive dressage scores, cross country scores and show jumping scores just as they would in a real event.

Horses also compete in a year long championship (you get points at each show where you place in the Top 10). The champion horse get's a trophy at the end of the year!

It's all really good fun, there is even a bit of role play in the Facebook group. So definitely give it a go if you haven't already.
