Models made before 2007 had a show of their own. The Vintage show. Some of the models shown were made several years before I was born and they still look great! I don't have a whole lot of vintage models as I haven't been in the hobby for that long and I tend to prefer the newer models. That being said, there were still several that I wouldn't mind bringing home with me!
I had a total of 6 vintage models to show. The oldest made in 2002 or 2003.
As usual we started the show with the foals. I surprised myself by having three foals to show. The did okay placing second, fourth and fifth in their class. Chance, who placed second in the class surprised me by claiming the champion reserve title (poor girl doesn't get out to shows that often) behind an incredibly detailed prancing foal.

Arabians were up next and I actually had one to show. She rarely gets out to shows as she might not be the best conformation wise but I think she's absolutely adorable anyway. She had quite tough competition and I wasn't surprised that she placed last in her class. The Championship title was claimed by a beautifully painted Proud Arabian Mare with an awesome customized Swaps as reserve. I really like Swaps customized into an Arabian and that one is really nice (he could come live with me if he wanted 😉)!

The stockhorse championship had some really nice models in it. One of my absolute favourite vintage models showed in this division and managed to claim the champion reserve title. I am not a fan of the Stud Spider mold but that model is another one that would be very welcome to come live with me 😊. The champion was a beautifully painted and hair Ideal Stock Horse.

The Riding- and Carriagehorse championship was not very big but there were some really nice horses shown. My dear Madonna made me proud and took first in her class and went on to claim the reserve champion title behind a dapple grey Andalusian.

Drafthorses were up after the other Equus and in this championship one of the "vintage legends" showed. He also proved he is still going strong by claiming the champion reserve title behind a lovely dapple grey mare.

I'm not sure how it happened but I managed to miss out on photographing the champion of the sporthorse championship! I can't believe it! I think I might have been too busy checking them out on the judges table and then somehow forgot to take pictures of them. Anyway the champion was a really great custom of the breyer trakhner with a really cool Hanoverian custom as reserve.
