Hi, I'm Erica. I'm in Region 10, and I'm still in my first year of "seriously" collecting and showing model horses. :)
Instagram? Glad you asked! / ecrhorses1901
(It's only recently been revived from dormancy, and I'm still not 100% back into the swing of things!)
All inquiries: ecrhorses1901@gmail.com
Stablemates are like potato chips - you can never have just one. I don’t really collect SM’s either yet I have nearly a hundred of them out of a collection of 850 models. I do collect the SM blind bag chase pieces so they & the TB portrait models make up most of my SM herd.
Congrats on your ribbons! You did really well for your first mini show & a small show string. Perhaps a change of breed for your little glossy dapple gray Hanoverian. A lesser known WB breed with documentation might help him place in Breed.
Big CONGRATS! on all your raffle models. You should definitely get tickets for the BF raffles since you have good luck. I put $50 worth of tickets in for each BF raffle model for years (except once when I put all $100 in for one model) & I was drawn 5x. Every year it seems that at least one person who’s drawn only bought 1 ticket. It’s always fun to see them running toward the stage with their one ticket held up triumphantly.
Good choice by your husband to only collect blue models. He’ll have a surprising number to choose from since blue is a popular color for decos & among collectors.
I see your bell bottom Shire standing in the background & I look forward to your future videos & hope to meet you at BF. I’ll be in room 312 at the hotel. We will be selling a small part of Andrea Gurdon’s vast collection so the room should be open most of the time. Room 312 was her room for years & luckily she managed to transfer it to me before she became too ill. It’s going to be hard without her there so I would be thrilled if you could stop in to say “Hi” & we can speak in person.
Thanks for your suggestions! A change of breed *is* probably in the cards for my grey WB, but I have some time to think about that and I'm happy to put it off, lol.
I didn't even consider entering the BF raffles, but I may as well! I'm just picky enough to want to wait and see what they are first though. :)
I consider myself lucky to have a husband who supports my hobby! Two of my horses are technically "his," and I'm sure we'll find another while in Kentucky.
The Shire will indeed be the subject of my next, longer video. Currently in the research stage, but I think it'll be worth it!
I'll be visiting room 312 at some point, as I had the highest bid on lot of FAFs that was posted on Facebook. No idea when I'll be stopping by, but I do hope we get to meet!
The raffle models you won are beautiful! Congrats on that ! Congrats on all your wins. I mostly photo show and I know some classes can get very big, especially for the more popular breeds. I feel any placing in a huge class is a good placing! I have...so very many stablemates! I never meant to have this many. And I know what you mean about the blind bags. They are so addictive! I'm sure there have been people looking at me and wondering why this adult woman is standing there fondling all the blind bags while I'm trying to find the ones I want and avoid the ones I already have 5 of !
Thank you!! And yeah, I totally know what you mean about feeling the blind bags, haha. I haven't had too much luck with Breyer ones yet, but I've been spot on with a few other items I collect!
Hey there! Lovely video! I reallly like your approach of talking a lot more of the history part of the hobby. As a video idea, even though he might be a bit over rated, I would love to see a alborozo history video (you could theme it almost like a disappearance case haha! I've heard countless stories as too why we won't see the mold come back but I'm not sure of any answers! People are just certain of the fact that breyer broke the mold but I've heard people say it was an accident, an agreement with the sculptor, or even a dsagreement with the real horse's owners.. I have now been in this hobby for 10 years and I have always wondered what the real story was, and maybe you can enlighten us wth your knowledge! If that is a subject you find interesting of course!
Thanks for the comment! The story of the Alborozo mold sounds like a great idea for a video, but also quite tricky to get to the bottom of short of finding someone at Breyer who would be willing to speak. I'm not ruling it out though; I'll pop that into my list of potential subjects for the future. :)
I just saw some of your breyer fest videos! I love your channel!
Thanks so much! :)
