♘ Stone Little Horse Show ♘

I'm (mostly) rested and recovered from the weekend, so time to talk about the Stone Little Horse Show! This was my first time attending a Stone event, and I had a wonderful time. The event was so well run, the food was fantastic, and getting to see one of my favorite internet comedians live and in person was magical!

I carpooled with some friends from Region 10, which was an absolute blast. I don't think we ever stopped yapping the entire time. We also hit up an antique mall on the way home, and while we didn't buy anything, we did see some Breyers in the wild! I'd happily travel with them again anytime 💜

I roomed with my usual show crew Amanda and Angela, with the addition of Amanda's dog Riker. It's always a good time getting to spend the weekend with some of my best hobby friends!

I also got to spend the show day with SO MANY hobby friends. I was mostly only showing in one division, so I had plenty of time to wander around the show hall and chat.

As for the show, I have no complaints about how the string did! The OF Other Plastic classes were huge, so any ribbon was an achievement (I think there were 1200ish entries in the whole division?) Golden Child came home with a sectional reserve, and a few others NANed, which was very exciting!

On Sunday, Erin was kind enough to let us see the Stone office, which was such a cool experience! I got to ogle the current Best Offers, see the original sculptures of some of the Stone molds, and even got some sneak peeks of what's coming in the future!

Overall, this weekend was not only fun, but it was such a welcoming experience. I'm still mostly a Breyer collector, but more than a few Stones have made their way into my herd. I'm definitely eyeing attending Country Fair next year!
