A devilish good time

Today, I drove out to the Jefferson County Fairgrounds in Golden, Colorado to attend the Red Devil Live Original Finish Breyer Show.
Original Finish halter isn't my thing, so I left my horses at home and spent the day visiting with friends,  
Karen Gerhardt and her one of a kind Cleveland Bays
ogling Teresa's new...
costume by Cary Nelson
BreyerFest goodies, 
saddle by Erin Corbett
and admiring everyone's Breyers.
Dayle Steinke's mules
As I walked around the room, I discovered there was one Breyer I admired more than all others.  Here he is on Dayle's table... 
and again on Collyn's. 
I really think this horse belongs in my collection, so I tried to steal Collyn's.   
For a moment or two, I thought I was going to get away with it, but I ended up going home empty handed.  Oh well, it was still a fun day!

      I saw Karen at the Models & Milkshakes show in May and she had some of the most beautiful horses!

    Any odds on how long it will be before you add that glossy hunk Aurelius to your herd?

      My model horse budget is mostly nonexistent right now, so I'm not actively looking to buy one. However, if someone were to offer me one in trade, I might relax the "no new orders" rule.

      Or... I could just steal Collyn's!

      Karen sculpted the Cleveland Bay, so it's only right that she has the BEST Cleveland Bays.

    I'm not much into OF either. At least for halter. I will sometimes show a bit in OF performance but recently that's mostly been my showmanship entry (working towards a superior event horse award...)

      If you're talking about the black on on the corner of the table, he's the Breyer 2013 Live Show Benefit Youth/Novice division model - shows that were selected for the Live Show Benefit (and got a Zuni to raffle off) that had Youth/Novice divisions also got him. He's the Black Beauty model on the classic WB, but he's glossy. The show could either award him to someone in the youth/Novice division, raffle him off, sell him... it was up to them.

      There were approximately 22 made. He happens to be mine, he was a silent auction at the show. This year the model was a glossy Mariah (the 2013 Horse of the Year classic) which I won at the local show that got her when they had her as a raffle prize. :)

    Lovely tack! Thinking that Breyer needs to release that mold is some customizing-worthy colors!
