NaMoPaiMo in the showring

First we painted them.

Now we're showing them!

In showrings across the world, the NaMoPaiMo class of 2024 is making its presence known.

Lisa Smalley's custom Fireheart did a little performance at the Berks County 4-H Horse Council Model Horse Show in Pennsylvania last weekend.

The first place ribbon in Western trail was especially sweet since Lisa not only customized and painted the horse, she also made the tack and bendy doll!

Amy Williams showed her unicorn in a couple classes at the Last Unicorn (a)Live show in Sydney, Australia last week. 

She writes: My 2024 and first ever completed NaMoPaiMo pony bringing me SO MUCH JOY and also first place in Pride Pony fun class & unicorn class, and placing in mini workmanship decorator! She looks particularly void-y in these photos thanks to the white tablecloths but I am so proud of myself!

Mel Boynes attended the same show. Her 2024 pony, Mazikeen, place fifth in her breed class...

and her 2023 horse, Darlin Ima Thunderstorm, was fourth in breed, fifth in colour and fifth in workmanship.

Great job, everyone, and I really hope to see a few more NaMoPaiMo ponies at the BreyerWest Open Show on Friday!
