Derby day

This morning I received an email from Breyer inviting me to celebrate Derby day with American Pharoah.

Thanks to Tiffany, that is exactly what I am doing. This lovely American Pharoah model was delivered to my door about an hour ago.

I especially love the inscription on the base: 2015 Triple Crown Winner. It's been a year, but it still doesn't feel real. 

Of course, there's never just one thing in a Tiffany box. American Pharoah was accompanied by a horse and dog for my niece, Liliana...

and the most amazing un-grounding gift.

I've wanted a piece of tack by Jacquee Gillespie ever since I laid eyes on Sheila Bishop's alpaca reined bridle in 2009.

This bosal is amazing. Tiffany, you are officially un-grounded! Thank you! Thank you! 

There was one other thing in the box, but that does not officially belong to me, at least not yet. 

When/if it does, I will share complete photos. Trust me, they will be worth the wait.
