LeeAnn's Model Horses *Updated March 24

Thanks friends!

I loved reading your blog post about him yesterday, I read it just after a (very long) English and science exam - it made a nice distraction for me I hope he places well at the show

He is tunning model,
Let us now how all your horses did on show! :)

I sure hope so. Last time it ran until 9PM... that wasn't fun!  

Can't be any word than the last time I was at the GLC. I'm not sure how late it ran but they were only half way through the class list at 8pm, I gave up at that point.

Thanks! Sure, I still have a lot to catch up on with results on the blog, but I'll try to squeeze it in.

Holy cow that's ridiculous! We got out at 8pm yesterday, I would be furious if they were only halfway at 8pm! How far did you have to drive home after that?

I was staying at the hotel they were holding the show at because it was a 2 day show at the time. I refused to go back after that year! Although I'm guessing it's much better now.

Well that's good! It's a wonder the showholder didn't do anything about it.

I think she was intimidated by the big name judge, but I could be wrong on that.

it's a lovely horse LeeAnn!

Thank you Sauroid!

Already commented on pretty Argyle elsewhere, but can give him some appreciation here too

He is a gorgeous model

What type of breed did you make one like him to be? I'm curious

And were the other who beat him, also Othellos?

Thank you I showed him as a Gypsy Vanner with documentation. The first place horse in the class was my own Truffles The third place winner was my own Organized Disaster (matte Fall).

At the show on Saturday there were plenty of models to sell as usual. Of course I came home with some

The two Peter Stone chips ponies were free, and the Stone WB is a neglected etchie that won't stand, he was a steal at $5. He'll be getting a new coat and probably a base of some sort to help him stand. Color suggestions on any of these?

The same person had these two Stone chips Arabs, both $5 each! The pinto is in good condition, but the liver chestnut has some issues so I'll try to restore him. If not he'll be getting a new coat as well.

Someone else was selling this Peter Stone half passing warmblood, who I think fell off a shelf looking at his damage. He has a current NAN card, which I think he won before suffering the damage. I fixed up his issues so he can show in April

This is "Royal Lancer" from 2007 - run of 200.

Wow! You got some great deals there. The WB is beautiful!

Thanks! Love the WB too - and at less than half the usual going price I couldn't resist!

I am completely, totally in love with those chips-ponies

But they are all great , beautyful models, - how wonderful that you can restore models

It's not hard really, and there are still marks on the WB that I can't repair. But he's still beautiful either way and I love him

Congratulation LeeAnn, I have a weakness for the chip pony on the first pic's right side

Congratulations again LeeAnn :)

Thank you both

Great to hear some of you own horses won!
I really would compite if their wur any show out here.. but nope not in my area Shame!

That new models are great deals and i think very pretty

That Peter Stone half passing warmblood, i don't know what it is ...
but he has something very charming to me

Thank you

For a short time in my collector life, I thought it was a heresy to restore some figures. Soon, I started gaining admiration for those that can do it. Some great horse figures know surely where they will be happy and loved so I think that's the reason why so many find the way to your home.

Thank you Roger I'm not a huge fan of restorations either - and in most cases if the paint is too far gone I'd consider it a body. But some models have just a few rubs, or just a broken leg or missing ear, which is an easy fix to restore the model to a condition that it can bring in the ribbons once again
