after heading to the julip live and seeing/meeting everyone for the first time in about 8 years, i obviously didn't come away empty-handed. i did manage to be pretty restrained (in my opinion), considering all the beautiful colours laura had on offer. i'd already ordered a portrait model to collect at the show, and told myself i'd only get one spare. whilst that didn't go entirely to plan, i did only buy one *adult* spare... which has to count for something right? along with the ponies below i did also buy a rider and one of stacey's adorable 3D-printed grooming trays, but those are packed away with the rest of my collection that i took away, so will probably not surface for a while!! anyway, without further ado, here are my lovely new additions! please excuse the horrible mess, it's not my house lol. first up is rosie, who i ordered beforehand. she's my second attempt at ordering a portrait model of this pony! the first one was about 8 years ago, on the new forest mould, and (bizarrely) came out dun. the real rosie: secondly is this little one, who i had to nab to match my fjord mare, lilia. i haven't decided if they're a boy or a girl yet, but they're going to be called luna or ludo depending! let me know which you think suits better. finally there's this guy - definitely a boy but no name yet. i'm totally stunned by laura's dapples and don't think i'll ever be able to order anything without to be honest. just look at him! they have all had mane trims since i took the pics, but i'd appreciate advice on how to tame the mohair a bit. i feel like EG had a tutorial ages ago, so i might have to hunt that down!!

It was great to see you again Pip, hope you had a good day! I love your spares purchases, but I have to admit that Rosie is my favourite of your Newbies. My only tip for mohair manes is if travelling, a rug seems to help
