BreyerFest Week: NAN & Other Things

The choice has been made, and to my surprise, it is not Gawain.

Pony Pal Susie chose Cosmus! It was a surprise but not a surprise, either. Because she had been so delighted with Gawain, I based my guess on that. But, she had also spent a lot of time looking at Cosmus - it seems it was the "wings that can fly" (she could make them flap) that were the decision maker.

Susie's name is now on his tag and Cosmus will be passed onto her when the time comes.

Today is the third and final day of NAN. Because I have been busy with family, I have only caught bits and pieces of it on social media, Fortunately, Shannon Call and Shannon Rodgers have sent me some pictures and given me permission to share them here. 

From Shannon Call:

This year's NAN cookies are so lovely!

The Top Ten ribbons.

The show hall. (Back in the BreyerFest host hotel again after many years elsewhere.)

Shannon C's NAN show string.

Top Ten in North America!

Two Top Tens and a North American Nationals champion!

Top Ten and North American Champion!

And another! (I love this mold.)

Shannon C. will be volunteering at today's NAN and this is her volunteer thank you gift.

From Shannon Rodgers:

Her show table displaying ribbons she's won.

Shannon loves green and a year or so ago asked me to make her a show tablecloth from that fabric for her. (I believe she also uses it on her antique dining room table, too.)

Top Ten!

I saw this last model when he made his show ring debut at Great Lakes Congress and he is fabulous!

An Appaloosa circus horse? Oh yes!! It is one of the most beautiful customs I have ever seen.

Thanks, ladies, for letting me use your pictures. And if any of you are at NAN (or in the CHIN or at the KHP) and would like to share pictures here like they did, please do! Send them to horsiemama8@gmail.com.
