Breyer Zodiac Collection

Hello, everybody!!

I finally have something model horse related to post! Yay!!

Have you all heard about the Zodiac collection yet???

While I am not (as you all know) into decorator models and prefer the model in a natural color, a few of these stood out to me for sure!!!!


Capricorn

Capricorn stood out to me the most. I love this mold, and the color is probably one of the few more natural in the series. Will most certainly be considering buying him!!


Aquarius



Pisces

Beautiful color!!!!




Aries



Taurus

Like Capricorn, his color is more "muted" than the other models and I may buy this one too.


Gemini

Glad to see that this mold is back!!!



Cancer



Leo

His model also stood out to me. very pretty, eye catching color.


Virgo

I was born on September 1st, so I may get this model for it. My favorite color is also blue, and I love his shading!


Libra



Scorpio



One other models have not been released, but they are on the big banner at the beginning of this post. Can you find them?

So, what do you think of the Zodiac collection??

Will you be buying any of them??

2015 RAM Invitational Freestyle Reining

I am back, y'all. With a very long blog post, too!! :D

So, last week Mrs. June (my horse trainer), her husband, Mr. Wendell, and my whole family made the trip down to the middle of Denver to go to the 2015 RAM Invitational Freestyle Reining at the National Western Stock Show. Mrs. June bought the tickets for us because I was very interested in reining for Ollie (because I happen to be interested in all things with Ollie and cannot decide on one). I found out that Ollie was trained by the reining trainer when he was younger and knows how to do sliding stops, rollbacks, and spins. Because Western is where my heart seems to really lie, I am seriously considering doing it with him. We shall see.

Of course, if you know me and this blog well enough then you will know that I am a visual person and I take lots, and lots of pictures. I tried my best to take some at this event, but it was dark (they dimmed the lights) and then if I put on the flash the people in front of me where I was sitting would give me dirty looks. So, most of the pictures are blurry, but fun none the less!!!

Enjoy, everybody!!!!

This was a Gunner (my favorite reining stallion EVER). He ended up winning.
