Custom Performance - ATPP

As hard as I try to document the performance classes at shows, I always end up missing entries... none the less, I did the best I could so I wanted to share the photos with you!


Custom Performance is first, starting with the Other Division.

 There were no entries for Parade/Harness, so we started with Other Costume, first place went to my Halloween costume contest entry,

Purdy Much Broke

Second place went to Taylor Joplin,

Third place, Jill Aman and her amazing costume

Unfortunately I got distracted in the halter rings and missed the Arabian Costume class, Jill Aman had a couple of amazing set ups!

Next class was Other performance, I was the only entry, so my Indian Relay racing entry placed 1st and won Reserve Champ of Other Performance.

Now onto Custom English, first up, English Pleasure . First place went to Foxy Freddy owned by Jennifer Arsuaga(didn't get a photo), Second went to me with Blue Flame. I both painted the horse and made the tack!

Hunter/Jumper, I took first, Jennifer took second, but I only have a photo of mine.

Other English, Jennifer took first,

I took second,

And Reserve English Champ! 

Finally, western! First class was Western Pleasure, but I didn't have an entry and forgot to photograph the other entries. Next class was Trail, I took first!

Other western, I had three entries, I took first..

Third,

And Fourth, with a very last minute entry.

Custom performance call backs...

 I can't remember who got Reserve, but I got Champion! I was beyond thrilled!

Hopefully there are some Performance junkies out there that enjoyed this post, I know I always like when other people share performance photos.
Next post will be OF Performance!

A Small Collection (literally.)

Gosh, it's been literally months since I've blogged. Sorry!!

Anyway, I think one of the most unappreciated scales is Micro Mini. I don't own many but recently added a new one to my collection... so I thought ya'll might want to see them. :)

First is one I think I got at Breyerfest a few years ago. He's a blind bag Mini Whinny who is kind of semi glossy, and I thought that was a cool variation. He might not be actually OF, but I still like him!

At my first MITS I got this guy in the raffle. He has quite a few flaws but they are hard to see without a nice camera lens or magnifying glass! 

I was able to get another blind bag mini whinny and pulled this guy, who I found pretty boring. For fun I  made him a small embroidery floss harness. It actually has a few NAN cards, but it's the only one in the class normally! :P

It's pretty crudely glued on, but I think it turned out nice.

My favorite and newest addition is RRS Shotgun Wedding, a Maggie Bennet Windswept painted by Alaina D.

He's really, really nice. I think I would go blind painting this!

I hope you all enjoyed reading and seeing all the photos of my micros! :) I might do a SM custom collection next, stay tuned for more posts!
