Houston, We Have Touchdown

Mariposa and Flor arrived yesterday! I was not expecting to see them until Monday or Tuesday, so I was truly thrilled. I'll be keeping them in their box until my other set comes, but I made sure to take lots of pics. Huge thanks again to Charlotte's Saddlery, especially Cherie and Missy!

I did not edit these photos at all, so they are true to color. Only a couple had flash, and it didn't really seem to affect the hue at all (which is strange, but nice!).

Love what they did with the shape! I noticed it first on my BF22 Nikko box.

Is this stamp thing on the bottom of the box new, or have I just not been paying attention lol?

I was also really happy to see painted chestnuts - Breyer seems to be remembering them on most pieces nowadays. :)

I absolutely adore the sweet little facial marking on the baby, so precious!

My pair is pretty good in the quality department, with a few paint goobers (as expected) on the mare. I'm very pleased with them, especially when compared to last year's Ashton.  I predict a hard choice between this pair and the one from Canada!
