Incoming Stablemates

 The next horse in the Stablemate Club is on the way - a glossy bay G1 Arabian Stallion called Sultan.  I'm doing a slight experiment with mine - ordered one alone, one with a ride-along - to see if my idea that ride-alongs slow things down in the shipping warehouse might be right.  


And Tractor Supply had the paint-your-own suncatcher SMs on sale, so I ordered 5 for in-store pickup.  Ended up with 3 Magnolias, a Warmblood, and a Walking TB.

The Breyerfest Horses

 The Breyerfest haul arrived last month sometime (don't ask when, I'd have to look).  I ended up with:


  1. Ballynoe Castle - the bay Show Jumper
  2. 4-piece Single Day SMs
    1. Jersey
    2. Skye
    3. Orkney
    4. Aaran (which I think is misspelled)
  3. Thorn - glossy
  4. Brigid and Beltane
  5. Glossy Benelli (not here yet)
  6. Benelli
  7. Eire
  8. another Eire
  9. 5-piece SM set
    1. Warmblood (with horridly overlarge dapples and massive overspray)
    2. Django
    3. G2 Arabian
    4. G2 TB
    5. Rivet   

 

Conditionwise, everything looks great except a couple of the SR Stablemates with painting issues.  Oh well.  

 







 

Virtual Breyerfest 2020, Day 3

 Ooops, forgot to write this last month.  Ah well.  Day 3, as I recall, was mostly watching the seminars and how-to videos, and the Icelandic Horse documentary.  I'm glad I had the chance to "attend" Breyerfest, even if it was online and not real-world.
