Hoosier Pony Live was one of the first, if not
the first, shows in the country to have a NAN-qualifying vintage custom (and resin) division. Many entrants brought models for the division, everything from Eustis models to Strowger and Froelich pieces. The lighting was a bit peculiar in the hall, so not all of my pictures turned out well. Here are the best I was able to fix up in Photoshop.
I'm not sure who all of the artists are or when all of models were made, so please feel free to comment with corrections or more information. Enjoy!

Vintage customs have been steadily growing in popularity, and many shows now have classes for them. A few shows are even devoted entirely to vintage customs. I've been meaning to blog about vintage customs for quite some time, and while I was at BreyerWest, I participated in Sarah Minkiewicz-Breunig's A Good Vintage show, so I hope to get that written up in the near future.
More tasty show photos coming later this week including NAN, Breakables, and the BreyerFest open show from 2016!
I can't remember where I stashed my old issues to verify this, but I think that I saw the red roan 1987 CM Lady Phase in a "winner's circle" gallery in the July/August 1989 Just About Horses.
