While I admit to penchant for certain things (dapple gray, jumping models, matte finish vs. gloss, certain artists/brands/breeds/what-have-you) it is often more common to subscribe to something like saying I conga Lady Phase and Halla (I do) or I dig minis (also true.). Love me some G1 Love molds. Appreciate Hunter/Jumper/Dressage English disciplines. Seem to hoard dilute Quarter Horses. Want typey, quality Lippitt Morgans. Stickler for ABCs. Haven’t kept up on “current” collectibility, the statements go on.
A couple main ones reverberate - VIVA LA VINTAGE and MICRO POWER!
Anyone who has shown with me knows I cherish and support the world of “R/R/H” or Vintage Customs (often considered Pre 2000). Check out Vintage Custom Model Equine Center & Sarah Mink’s homage to the customs of yesteryear! Many of us harbor a soft spot for these treasured pieces. They are getting their due and making a comeback in the show ring.
I maintain a lovely show string along with memories...here is RAS Muscofir done by Rae Ann Sneathen, sold to another collector. I still have foals RAS Shazam and RAS Shahdorable.
It is no secret I am also more than a little keen on micro minis. Between tiny HO scale figures and Creata/Stable Stars/Mini Whinnies and the lovely tiny pewter and resin castings, I am hooked.
Here is Maggie Bennett’s new Sallie, one of many adored micros to join my massive herd.
I suppose that leaves me with one more obsession to cheer on: MEDALLION MANIA!
This May will host Medallion Madness and the opportunity to paint “clothes” on a deserving “nekkid” bas-relief. I know shows are offering more classes for busts/medallions. Should be a blast!
