Oh, The Worthless Things I Spend my Time Thinking About

Spent the day eating left over Easter candy, hoping for some last minute miracle with Persimmon, and the usual agenda. Not an exciting day, just the norm.

I haven't done the Breyerfest Planning yet which should make tomorrow... interesting. But I have put some more thought into what the Breyerfest Special Runs could be.

What if there was a draft? Oh, but where would he fit into it? I'm not sure. I don't think it's likely. But if it was, what about the Belgium? I love the Belgium mold, in all its chubby cuteness.

If there was a draft something like the Othello or Cleveland Bay would be the choice, though.

I like the Cleveland Bay, but it was recently a Special Run and shouldn't merit another this recently. That SR was Turnbridge Wells, that red roan thing with the roached mane. I'm not really into the Wells as much as I used to be. I'd like a Limerick, (another rather recent BF SR on the mold) but I don't like the Roached Mane on something that splashy. It worked really well on the regular run Trooper, in that deep seal-bay color, the only other release with the roached mane. I own Trooper and have to say he's rather lovely.

Hmm, but what about the Surprise Model? What will the mold choice be, I wonder? Something Exotic (the Marwari)? Something new and popular (The Idocus or the Weather Girl)? A Mare and Foal (unlikely, but the Gisselle and Gilen would be splendiferous)? Something Performance Friendly (Smarty Jones, Strapless, Show Jumping Warmblood)? Something paradey (the ASB or the Moody Andalusion)? I really have no clue. I'd love if it was a Hess, (Justin Morgan any one?) I'll grow up and stop wondering, but first I'll narrow down the options.

-Marwari
-Idocus
-Weather Girl
-Gisselle and Gilen
-Smarty Jones
-Strapless
-Show Jumping Warmblood
-American Saddlebred
-Moody Andalusion
-Justin Morgan

Smarty Jones and the SJW have bases which makes them a 'risky' choice. A Mare and Foal set overall feels extremely unlikely (and would cause pandemonium and a higher price tag for the Surprise Model). The Marwari is too far out there, I think. And Justin Morgan is a Chris Hess.


-Marwari

And then there was five. Strapless or Idocus feel like the most likely. There's already an Arabion mare in the line up. And I don't see the Moody Andalusion 'happening'. We'll see, it could be the ASB. He's a rather popular boy, and hasn't come in a wide aray of paints/pintos as of yet. A lilac roan pinto, two Chestnut pintos, and a black pinto. There's always room. 

Whatever it is, it will be pretty. But what? What will it be??? Gah, I really don't have tiem to be pulling my hair out about this.

I personally am in denial over the fact that there isn't a Hess Trakhener (with the new tail) in the line up yet. Poo.
