Meows to Minis 2010

I had a wonderful time at Meows to Minis 2010!  Chris, Mark and the whole gang put on a fantastic show! I highly recommend it to everyone. The people are great, the competition is tough, and best of all it's for a great cause! I believe they raised $3000 for the kitties at the shelter this year!!  Hooraaaay! Also, if your into awards, and raffles I came home with lots of goodies.  Chris always has an amazing auction, and great raffle donations!

I judged the RESS Challenge this year.  I really enjoy that event. Unfortunately RESS is dissolving so it was the last one.  Still there was great competition and I had a good time judging.

Being 4 1/2 months pregnant I was pretty tired by the end of the show, but it was all so worth it.  I always have such fun visiting with other showers and gabbing about horses and other none sense.  Since my back was aching, I was a bit more confined to my seat as I normally like to wander around a bit more. But, I had a great group of friends around me to chat with and keep me company.

I managed to get all my horses into the rings and was thrilled to bring home lots of NAN cards, and several Champs!  I forgot to snap pix till the very end of the show so only have the two I can show you.
First up is my little mini resin: "Keepsake" shown as "Tic Tac" who won a Reserve in his division!

Then there was "Kosmic Collision"- a Taboo Resin that I painted into a dapple grey appy and show as a Tigre Horse.  He won his Division, and Overall Reserve of Show!! I was more than tickled with him.

I was pleased that I was able to finish up 7 new Minis in time for this show.  I will be listing several of them for sale over the next few weeks.  I will try to feature a new one here each day, or every other day.  First up is a Breyer CM into an Appy Sport Horse:

He is available for sale too.  Check my website and MH$P for details.

Have a great day!

Thank you so much!

Keepsake holds a special spot in my heart because he is sculpted after a mini foal I was in love with. My dream is to own a real mini someday. In the meantime I have Keepsake. ;0)
