Liveshow Part 3 Mini Plastic

The mini plastic division of this show didn't have as many championships as the other divisions but there were still a lot of models of good quality.

As you've probably gotten used to by now, we began with the foal division. I had 5 foals to show in this championship and they did quite well. Angel (Sm. Galopping foal rr T. Wolmer) took second in the warmblood foal class. Chance (Sm. Scrambling foal rr T. Wolmer) and Dun To Be Perfect (Sm. Scrambling Foal OF) took fourth and fifth in the stockhorse foal class and Bellami (Sm. Scrambling Foal rep. A. Gustafsson) and Troublemaker (Sm. Scrambling Foal rr T. Wolmer) took first and second in the pony foal class.

The champion title went to the winner of the other foal class, a paso fino foal and the reserve title went to the quarterhorse foal who won the stockhorse class.

Arabians was a hard championship to judge with any good models but in the end it was a repainted breyer mare who claimed the champion title with a Peter Stone OF as reserve.

Once again the Asian/African/Oceanian wasn't very big but the akhal-tekes ruled the championship claiming both the champion and reserve titles.

In this division the stockhorses showed in the same championship as the american breeds. I had 5 horses to show in this division (2 of which I've painted myself and finished the morning of the show...) Since You Don't Love Me (Sm. G2 ASB rep. A. Gustafsson) made me proud placing second behind another Sm. G2 ASB repaint. Diamond (Sm. G2 ASB OF) took fourth in the same class. My roan quarterhorse Knocks My Socks Off (Sm. G2 Stockhorse OF) took fourth in the quarterhorse class.

In the paint class my Splinter In My Soul (Sm. G2 Stockhorse repaint by me) placed second and I even got some compliments from the judge on him! My other repaint, Adria (Sm. G2 paso rep. by me) also took second in her class.

After seeing my own customs do so good I wasn't really paying to much attention on the championship voting but my own Since You Don't Love Me got champion reserve behind the ASB who won their class.

Onto sporthorses and once again this was the championship where I have most horses (six) to show in the same championship. First Spring (Sm. G2 TB OF) got third in her class. Royal's Mexican Heat (Sm. G2 TB rr. S. Nordström) took second in her class. Baccardi (Sm. G4 Dressage OF) and my third repaint Lacoste (Sm. G2 WB rep by me) showed in the same class and took third and fourth. In the Warmblood mare class my Symphony D (Sm. G3 Warmblood rr S. Nordström) and Artemis (Sm. G4 Driving OF) took second and third. The champion was the thoroughbred who bet Royal's Mexican Heat in the custom thoroughbred class and the reserve was the winner of the warmblood stallion class.

I actually had two horses to show in the drafthorse championship. Neither of them did too good, both placing fifth out of five. It was fun to see that the champion title went to a fjordhorse (since I might be a little biased to the breed) and the reserve title went to a beautifully painted PS Chips Drafthorse.

In the pony championship I only had one horse to show, Espri (Sm. G3 WB OF), unfortunately it wasn't her day, placing fifth out of five in her class. The champion title went to an adorable shetland pony and the reserve title went to welsh cob customized from a sm. friesian.

The last championship of this division was the wild/crossbred/other equus and it had a nice blend of longears, crossbreds and mustangs. In the end the champion title went to a mule and the reserve title went to a really nice crossbred.

When all the champions where crowned it became time to vote for the Best in Show and reserve. It wasn't easy to choose who to vote for but in the end the Best in Show title went to...

Silver Cloud, the ASB!

and the reserve title went to...

Pollyglittra, the fjordhorse!
