caitlin sent me a lovely little christmas parcel which i opened today because i have no self control, here are a couple of my julips modelling her lovely rugs and headcollars. the pics look enormous so i'm really sorry about that. L-R tempest, damson, lilia, skylark, then magic in front tempest, damson and magic modelling the headcollars in a picture that refuses to rotate the ponies looking snug (lilia's rubbish bridle is one of mine, i am too lazy to take it off, and apparently skylark has been turned out in full plaits, haha) not related to my christmas goodies, here is phoenix with a rider that i bought from elli. i can finally do a proper set up with him now. i was too lazy to dig out the flags for the jump, haha. the tack is made by stacey, i think for a secret santa a few years ago now. and finally here's a picture of my originals shelf in case everyone had forgotten who i had in my collection merry christmas and thanks to everyone whose bits and pieces i have amassed over the years to make these pics possible!

Lovely christmas parcel! My favourite is Tempest's headcollar. I've been planning on making a headcollar and rug in the same colour scheme for Jazz the storm-coloured eventer as soon as I get some ribbon and felt the right colours. I also don't remember you having that many horses! I like Mr Spotty arab stallion

Yay glad they fit horses you own, I really couldn't remember what moulds you had at all! It's nice to see your collection again you have them displayed on top of the exact same CD boxes that mine are standing on, lol. Josie I buy the grosgrain from ebay and the smallest length it comes in is about 15m so I can send some black and yellow your way if you want, I will never use it all up by myself... Or if you want literally any colour under the sun the ebay shop is here.

those boxes are great aren't they, haha! i have them on their side so that i've got double the shelving but i don't lose the width cos all the bottom row have their bums tucked underneath. god bless ikea!! I also don't remember you having that many horses! I like Mr Spotty arab stallion he was one of helen's, i suggested to her she do some knabstruppers but couldn't actually afford to buy any when she did. this one used to belong to ocky, if you remember her? she offered him to me when she was selling off her models because she knew i'd had the idea, haha. his name's commotion i did have a few more horses but i sold nearly all of my HOTYs. i've bought a few originals off ebay and stuff while i've been a bit underground, hence how my collection has grown a bit in my absence. the newest ones are probably tempest (obviously just a catalogue storm) and harley, one of annabel's last ones that she sold on facebook a few months ago.

Ahh yep I remember Ocky, did she sell up her collection then? Yay glad they fit horses you own, I really couldn't remember what moulds you had at all!

Ahh yep I remember Ocky, did she sell up her collection then? i'm not entirely sure actually, i think maybe she kept some special orders (portraits perhaps?) but sold off all the random models. it's weird that people just disappear from the hobby and you have no way of contacting them just to ask how they're doing or whatever. she sent me a lovely drawing a few years ago that i've finally framed and i would love to show her.

I had her on Facebook for ages but I just searched for her and we're not "friends" anymore, so I guess she deleted me but fair enough we'd not spoken in ages. I have one of her customs still that I don't think she liked very much but I thought was super cute, lol. Maybe we can tempt her back into the hobby like we've all been Josie I'm really going to struggle to use it lol, you're welcome to some - drop me a pm with your address in it and I'll get it posted sometime over Christmas
