My New Herd Members

My two new boys arrived, and I think they will be the last for awhile,
not that I've had that many newbies recently anyway! I took some
pictures of them, but they're not very good, I haven't had time to get
them out this weekend either to take decent pics. But, here they are
anyway.
This one was more of a 'spur of the moment' buy, but I'm pleased I got
him! He's the 2007 JCPenney Spanish Horse Family Andalusian, he's more
of a bay roan than the light bay they say he is on the Identify Your Breyer website.
I just LOVE his face!! The blaze is just lovely! Though the picture does it no justice what-so-ever!
I really quite like this mold, it's so much nicer than it looked to me in pictures.

And then there is this boy, one of the Treasure Hunt Silver's from
2007. He is really quite lovely in person, again, the photo's are
really bad!!
And he looks really neat in western!! I think I need a smaller saddle to fit him better though, but the idea is there!

Frustration and neglect

Oops! Ok, I knew I hadn't posted for awhile, but it's been almost a
MONTH!! I guess it's not fair to blame it entirely on Blogger changing
the darned layout on me, I only just got round to changing it back to
the original basic one today, only to find a note up the top saying it
will be deleted in the coming months! How can they do that!! It's the
only bloomin layout that works on this stupid computer here at home! If
they go and delete it then that means I will not be able to post from
home AT ALL, and I sure as heck won't be doing anything from school, so
it might be a high possibility that I will go to WordPress
if Blogger goes ahead and deletes the basic format. Grr, why do they
have to go and "fix" what's not broken, what's working perfectly fine.
Right, rant over. I'm pleased to have my blog back in working order for
now at least.
Not much modelly has been happening here, I was naughty and bought a
couple of horses which really hurt my bank account after the spending
spree I have been doing lately, they are in transit as I write this and
should be here in teh next couple of days. They are being accompanied
by some Apoxie Sculpt as well, so some of these limbless horses here
can finally be put back together!
I'm quite excited about the new Breyer sculpture
by Brigitte Eberl of Totilas, he looks to be a rather fun looking
performance prospect. I can't wait for him to come out in November!
Winter is definitely setting in here, I don't think there has been any
frosts here yet, just really heavy fogs, cold mornings and rain, so far
when I say it's rained, it has hosed down, yesterday we had thunder and
all! Oh well, lazy days inside by the fire are coming! That would have
to be my favourite part of winter.
Even after a month I don't have overly much to say! So I'll leave you
with this picture I found on a blog post that made me laugh, so many
times I have seen this happen and it never seems to get old, not much
fun for the kid though!

Repair Day

After sitting on my shelf for more almost a year, my wee CM Running Foal by M Durdan finally got his ear back. Still in my PJ's a sat down with some baking soda, super glue and, of course, the horse.

Layer by layer his ear slowly formed, I then filed it down and sanded it to the right shape.


And painted it. And then I got a bit carried away and decided to go over his white again too.


After seeing him for so long without his ear, he looks a bit odd now that he has one!


Not bad for an older CM.

Tiny Troublemaker

You wouldn't believe the trouble this little guy has caused me!

His prepping went fine, then the first lot of primer went well, then I
started pastelling him palomino, well, right from the start he refused
to be pally, I started about 3 times on him before chucking him on the
shelf above the computer.
I finally dragged him out again the other day determined he WAS going
to be a palomino, yet again, he refused, he ended up a lovely shade,
with dark splotches all over him. I was rather annoyed so I got out my
pastels and shaved off some brown and thought 'Right then, you can
bloomin well be bay then'...He seemed to like that idea much better!
I even managed to get a few funny looking dapples on him!!

Nothing Exciting

Nothing great to report from me. Not that there ever really is! But I
felt the need to post something, mainly because I once again realised I
don't post nearly enough! And since the post I had in mind still isn't
finished (you'll see in a couple of days) and I still felt the need, here is some pics I took last winter.

And before you ask, yes I did manage to rescue the *little little* horse from becoming lunch!!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!!! Hope your all having a good chocolate filled
time! I have been good and am saving mine. That doesn't mean Easter has
been completely out for me, I made this the other night.
An
easter theme bridle, because when I think of easter I think fluffy
white easter bunnies delivering chocolate eggs, and from fluffy white
bunnies I think pink!

And doesn't CB look amazing in pink! The above photo's show the colours
best. And my apologies for my bad rider, she might need some riding
lessons!
I'm thinking it will be for sale, so if you want it, please email me
(bluemoonstables2008@gmail.com) with an offer, it's fully adjustable
with *handmade* tongue buckles. You can change the bit as well, I made
it like it is purposely so it has that option.

Another good thing that happened to me is this, I got it today when my Nan came out.


She's been working on it for about the last year or so and brought it
over with her from Australia. She also made the two cushions.

I love it!! The colours are lovely.

Not the most talkative or interesting of posts, sorry, I'm not really one for talking or making conversation!

Leukemia and Blood Foundation - Overall Champ.

A HUGE congrats to everyone, and thanks so so much for entering the
show. Remember, every horse that placed 1st or 2nd in any class is now
qualified for the championship show to be held in November/December
which I'm hoping will have some pretty cool prizes. I still need to
work out some of the details on it, but I'm hoping it will be great!
But now to wrap up this show, the Grand Champion of the Show!!
Drum roll please.

Nightfox!!

And Reserve Grand Champion of the Show:

dp. Last Chance, Honey!!

Well done to the both of you, but Nightfox (owned by L.K) gets a post all to himself, which will be coming soon!

Thanks (yep, once again!) to everyone who entered, it was a great show to judge!!
