Speaking of Bristol overload…

 …the Hoofbeats and Maple Treats event models were revealed today! Say hello to Legacy:

As most people guessed from the sneak peek, it’s another bay Bristol…so the reaction to him has been lukewarm at best. Here’s Tamarkuz, the Stablemate:

He’s kind of blah too, so sayeth some collectors. I’m glad they used a mold I collect (I haven’t kept any of the event models from either of the collector events I attended before except for Chesapeake, and now even she is gone). 

Anyway, not sure why Bristol has seen so much use this year, but now I’m glad I decided to sell mine off so I don’t have deal with the Hoopla hoopla and the new froggy web special. Now I just have to find a buyer for my Legacy…

Hoofbeats and Maple Treats entries!

 Good news, everyone! Entries for the Hoofbeats and Maple Treats collector event are now open! 

The deadline for Collector Club members to enter the drawing is 8/4, so don't waste any time entering! You must also have a valid passport or US passport card to be admitted, and must meet Canadian entry requirements if traveling there from another country.  

Also, the names of the event models have been revealed! The Traditional is Legacy (Daniel Coyle's show jumper) and the Stablemate is Tamarkuz (champion sprinter). We already know Legacy is on the Bristol mold from this sneak peek released in May:

I'm not sure they should have used Bristol for this, considering he was the event model for the Seattle Soiree in 2020. I guess five years is a pretty long interval, though - it just doesn't seem like that long ago. But I'm kind of glad I decided to sell off my Bristols. We'll probably have other plans going on while this event is happening, so I probably won't enter to be drawn. Guess I'll just have to hope they don't use any molds I collect for the special runs! Oh, and the real Tamarkuz is a sprinter, so my guesses for which mold he's on are Greyson or the G2 Thoroughbred. Good luck to everyone entering!
