Frosty-Cold Already?

Ok, I don't know if the Title makes any sense...but you will figure it out by the time I am done.

Frosty (brother to Flurry) was released on to the Breyer Website a few days ago.



Frosty and Flurry are both in Classic scale, however Flurry is "Shire" ..and Frosty is "Shire B". Breyer made two variations of the same mold a few years back (think Brishen and Laredo). Basically, the only difference between the two is Frosty has his ears to the side, and his head down.
 I was surprised they released Frosty so early.....it isn't even fall yet. The grass is still green. It is still over 80 degrees outside. People are still wearing t-shirts and shorts. Unless Breyer Reeves is going by  Russian weather, I think Breyer should have waited till it was a little......frostier. Maybe Breyer just wanted us all to have an early Christmas gift. :)

Oh, here is Flurry for a comparison.

P.S. Here is a random picture of me, one of my best friend's, and my dog at the top of Castlewood Canyon on my birthday. Love this picture!

Birthday/Kasmir/SM pictures

Sometimes I think I post too much.

Yes, Indeed.

Or, I post about three completely different things all in one post.

Just like I am about to.

Anyway, my birthday was a complete hit. A am missing some photos, but to round it up, I went out to breakfast with my dad, bought Breyer horses, relaxed, had some friends come over, we all hiked, had dinner, ate cake, and then my friends went home and I went to bed. Pretty much a perfect day.

When I get more pictures, I will probably end up putting them on here.


Anyway....I just found the next Big Cat!



I was wondering when the next Big Cat would come around. It has seemed like a while since Kimbia was released.


A Snow Leopard!!

I have to admit, in a very weird  interesting way, I kind of like him. I probably would buy him, actually. I REALLY like him much more than Kimbia. I also find the coloring fascinating.







Here is Kimbia:



I have always been a fan of Snow leopards. I find them very...mystical.



For a long time, I really liked Cheetah's. Now I am into Snow leopards.


On the other hand, I took some of my Stablemates that hardly ever see the sun outside for a photo-shoot. I counted last night, and I have a grand total of 96 Breyer Horses. It was then when I realized "how much money have I actually spent on these!?"

MEPSA Open Show Results

Foxfire 

I entered my first MEPSA OPEN (I was in NOVICE for two years) show a few weeks back. Today I got the results and I was happy,happy,happy. After the crushing "my horses were in the wrong class at the Championship show" blow, I was just well, very surprised by how I placed.

The Leaning Tower Of Totilas

I don't know if your Totilas leans, but mine sure does.....

He has already tried to fall over once, and so he isn't on my shelf of models. Instead, his place is on my dresser. 

By the way, he is wearing his new Mint colored rope halter and lead rope. I will (very soon) put the rope halters up for sale. More on that later.....

Sorry this is a quick post, but I am going to a friends and will be back later. Till then!

My Birthday.....New models!

My birthday isn't finished yet (well, it actually just started, it is only 10: 30 in the morning!) but I have already been to Murdochs and Dover Saddlery. I bought three new Traditionals. My sisters bought me a Classic set for my birthday. I am very happy.

                                                               Flexible 

I bought Flexible at Dover Saddlery. I was looking for Harley D Zip, or Sara Moniet, but neither of them at either store. So I settled with Flexible. He is slowly growing on me. He is very pretty, but I can't take him seriously with the fly bonnet that is WAY to big for him. 

Totilas 

I finally got Totilas. I have been skipping him in the store, thinking "he is pure black, and he is more expensive than the other models" but I finally gave in to his beautiful face. So cute! He is a little teetery though, so I am going to be very careful photo showing him. 

Snowman

I picked this handsome dude immediately. I have always wanted a Ravel model, and so I knew that this was my chance to get one. He is painted very well (well, for a WHITE horse), and his hooves are absolutely STUNNING.  



                                                                        Dartmoor Foal

My sisters bought me this set for my birthday. I love the foal and the mare. This little guy's snip is very well painted, and he only has a few flaws.....except for when he fell down this cement wall four feet and badly scratched his ear. Oh well.


                                                Dartmoor Mare

This girl didn't fall down the cement, thankfully. She is close to flawless, with a few painted nicks (look at the picture of her face). This is probably my favorite Classic mold, along with the standing Quarter Horse (Dexter). I can't wait to see how she photo shows!

 I also bought a Golden Retriever Schliech dog. I think I have an addiction to dogs now. Oh boy.

I also got a free Dover Saddlery Breyer blanket. It is a little too big for my other models, but fits perfectly on my monster model, Trooper. The Fly bonnet works the best for him, too.

More on my birthday that hasn't finished later!
