I got involved about then - one of my first buys through the journal was a Hagen-Renaker mini Morgan stallion for the princely price of $3.50 - and won a few ribbons. Still collecting but not showing. I really enjoy your blog.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11228835851567172481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371380495065351450.post-39734882248126394962014-08-15T19:52:37.612-04:002014-08-15T19:52:37.612-04:00I've been collecting since the late 1960s, but...I've been collecting since the late 1960s, but wasn't aware of model horse showing until maybe 1972 or 1973, when I got hold of a Mini Tack catalog that mentioned it. I didn't get a chance to show until about 1985, though.

A friend slipped me an issue in 1976, embarrassed that it seemed "stupid" to be showing plastic horses. That same week we were hit by an ice storm that took out our electricity for a week and I read it until 2 am by kerosene lamp. That magazine was the beginning of a life long hobby for me. I was a member of the NAMHSA too. <br /><br />Thanks for the blast from the past. Good memories. Hope you are feeling better.dizzijoihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15542763951432159793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371380495065351450.post-52200835056525225472014-08-13T10:50:55.205-04:002014-08-13T10:50:55.205-04:00I didn't get into the hobby until the mid-1980...I didn't get into the hobby until the mid-1980's but I'm absolutely kicking myself for not saving my old show results, newsletters, etc. What was I thinking, getting rid of that stuff??Little Black Carhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313164876855565140noreply@blogger.com
