Tractor Supply Horses...

Well, the new models for TSC have been sort of revealed.  Someone posted a photo on Facebook, possibly from a catalog or online ordering system, onto Facebook and then someone on Blab posted a picture.  It's not a very good picture, but that's okay.  I'll still share it.

I know it's difficult to see much, but from what I can see, I will definitely be getting the Eclipse model as I am conga-ing the Emerson mold and I like paints.  I don't know if he's a black and white paint, though, or a brown and white.  I imagine there will be at least one Stablemate Surprise I will have to have and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need the Dog and Doghouse set.  I will have to wait on any other until I can see a better picture, which will hopefully be soon.  Not that I'm in any big hurry to spend money.  hahahaha.

Not much has been going on in my Breyer world.  I know I've been a bit absent lately, but the Powers That Be at work have to decided Blogger poses a risk to our system so while I can open the main page, I can't read any posts on other blogs other than a few lines and I can't even read my own blog.  I don't know why suddenly they've decided it poses a threat.  I'm able to watch YouTube and visit a lot of other websites, but...I don't know.  I am hoping the photo of the TSC horses will show up.  If it doesn't then I will have to set up my laptop anytime I want to blog or just learn to live with the shortcomings of my iPad mini.

The other day I got a nice PIF in the mail.  A few weeks ago I had decided to make some halters for a few of my models.  I haven't done it in awhile, but decided it might be "fun" to do it again so I went to Rio Rondo and ordered the supplies I would need.  But then a couple of days later I realized I had forgotten to order buckles.  Grrrr.  So I was going to place another order, but the shipping would have cost more than a sheet of buckles.  Really?  So I posted on Blab in the PIF thread asking if anyone had any spares they weren't using.  I said I only needed a few and the only requirement was that they had to be Traditional size.  I didn't think anyone would actually send me any, but you never know until you ask.  Well, last week I got an envelope in the mail and in it was a card and a sheet of bits and buckles in various sizes!


YAY!  I was quite happy, to say the least.  Of course, now it means I have to actually MAKE the halters.  hahaha.

In some Jake the Farrier news...another family member has come to live with him and his cousin Cassie.  It's their eccentric uncle Bob.  I'm not ready to reveal him yet, though, so be sure to check back.

I hope everyone is doing well.  I will try not to be gone so long next time.  Take care and I'll talk to you later!

That’s not fair! Lol

 Okay…so I was looking at Facebook earlier an say a model that caught my eye.  Now, this isn’t a super new mold,but this is only the, what, ...
