Christmas horses!

My in-laws have figured it out (and without any blatant hints!). Last year, I got a Trail of Painted Ponies figurine from my sister-in-law, and this year, along with the Breyer 3-D Paint by Number I asked for (the one with the new-mold pony), I got a carved wood horse and a ceramic mare and foal figurine. And my brother, smart boy that he is, gave me a Mid-States Warrior. Now, I've already got one Warrior, but what the hey. Returning it would be a pain, and my selling luck isn't so hot lately, so I'll probably keep him.

Then I bought a few for myself. I went a bit crazy and bought the Hagen-Renaker Morgan stallion and mare SR (in palomino) from Ed Alcorn, which proves that I'm insane. :) Nice expensive, highly breakable horsies in my home. Oy. But oh, they look pretty, and I've always been a sucker for the Hagen SM molds. Thanks to Toddler-boy, who's into everything, the Morgans will be living in a box until we move.

I also ordered a few things from American Livestock and Rural King when they had sales last week. American Livestock sold out of the Cefnoakpark Bouncer, but I got a second Cloud's Legacy set, and this one has both of the new foals. From Rural King, which is still in transit, I got two more 3-D sets, the customizing kit, a couple of plushies, the deer family, and maybe something else.

Need to work on the pictures, though. And on finding room for everyone.

Rubicon!!

Well, after entering almost every one of Breyer's Connoisseur Horse drawings, I finally got selected for one. So, sometime after Christmas, I'll have a Rubicon in the house.

And soon enough, we'll be able to find a house to move into, so I can finally have a safe place to display my very few fragile horses - 2 resins, a few porcelains, and one or two more-expensive Breyers. Like my soon-to-be Rubicon.

I may even end up with a decent room to do photography in.
