First up was, as before, the foal championship. My cute little Helios (Mink Oliver rep. S. Kern) was shown in this division and he took third in his class. I had hoped he'd do a little better but he had good competition so I'm happy with him anyway. The winner of his class, a sweet little Dancing Daisy resin went on to be champion reserve behind an adorable little longeared donkey foal.

Both Belize (Eberl Genoveva rep. S. Nordström) and Chester VS (Eberl Caitano rep. S. Nordström) showed in the same class, and as usual, I had high hopes for them, until I saw the class list. If you ask me, the resin warmblood class has consistently been one of the most competitive classes the last shows I've been to. This time it was all models (mostly Eberl warmbloods) repainted or customized by S. Nordström. Seeing the starting field I thought that my horses might place third and fourth out of five with a gorgeous Eberl Willoughby (probably my favourite of the entire show!) as first and a beautiful Eberl Firenze as second. I was wrong. Chester VS won the class and I was thrilled! The beautiful Willoughby came in second with my Belize as third, the Firenze as fourth and a really nice customized Giovanni as fifth.
It seems like I have a tendency to underestimate Chester VS. He usually does very well for me. This time he outdid himself, claiming the champion title, beating Ciderprinsen J who claimed the champion reserve title. So it really was Chester's day this time.

There weren't too many European breeds to attend this show so it was quite a small championship with lots of nice models. The lusitanos did best for the day claiming both champion and champion reserve titles.
I've only seen Eberl's Vincenzo in porcelain but I thought he was even more impressing in the resin form.
Champion European: Importante J, Eberl Vincenzo rep. S. Nordström Champion European Reserve: Madrid J, RC Matador rep. S. Nordström |
The drafthorse championship was quite tough and my Ayers Rock Brigadör (MM Brigadier rep. A. Gustafsson) placed third out of three in his class. The winner of Brigadör's class, Dark Shadow, went on to win the champion title with a beautiful Tiny shown as a North Swedish Drafthorse as reserve.
