LEXINGTON SPECIAL RUN!
A new truly SPECIAL special run, debuting at the Holiday Inn Lexington North on Monday, July 19, at 7PM…..
Ann Harris’ “Marshall” in an edition of only TWELVE in Glossy Light Grey Reverse Brindle Art Glaze by George Robert Boothe #10114!
Check this fantastic guy out here and click on the thumbnail to see enlargements and that uber-cool brindle pattern up close!
This is the companion piece to last year’s super popular Sorrel brindle model, which has been a favorite of collectors and show judges---many have won championships, and at shows as large & prestigious as Breakables Live! Last year collectors came in, picked one out, and came home with satin that quickly!
And he’s GORGEOUS & so way-cool! And that’s just not our opinion---even sculptor Ann Harris said so! Due to the nature of the art glazes themselves, there’s variation in the run (some are really wild!) with the striking characteristic coat appearance that looks like someone drizzled paint on them---only this is reverse (light on medium grey) brindle!
They have hoof shade variegation, art glaze effect eye whites, and some even sport a small corn spot or two! Triple-glazed & fired, with a deep rich glossy finish smooth as glass.
Will YOU be one of the lucky ELEVEN (Sculptor Ann Harris already got hers)?!?
So many of our art glaze pieces were intended as art & yet have brought home live show championships as REAL breeds, as hot as this guy is, I’d expect the same! In keeping with our principles of the most beauty & quality for the lowest price possible, if you ARE one of the lucky 11, you can own him for only $135!
There are no holds, pre-orders, shipments, layaways, pickups or reservations on this piece prior to his debut the night of Monday, July 19 at the Holiday Inn Lexington North! No wait list is being kept.
In the event I cancel attendance due to my husband’s health, they will go on sale the morning of July 19 via the website. If there is no “Buy Me” button underneath, use the “Contact Us” link & I’ll email back invoice w/instructions how to pay.
Yeah, you’ll REALLY want to make “The Lakeshore Room” your FIRST stop so you don’t miss out!
BREAKABLES LIVE News Flash!
The Lakeshore Division was SO popular last year, VERY competitive with the second highest average class sizes of the entire show, that we’ve expanded both the breed AND Collectibility divisions---even MORE chances to win this year!
Is that cool, or what?
You can show off your herd of Lakeshores, hand pick some new beauties to take in the Lakeshore Room or from Sherry Ball of Greater Elegance, and try to win even MORE LS logo prizes & pins that will give you even MORE chances to win in the free raffle!
Housekeeping! Last year some classes were so large that not everybody even got their horses in the ring! Please help everyone get their horse shown to best advantage (including yours!) by writing key info from any 8X11 documentation to something smaller, perhaps index-sized cards.

So far this year, the program has grown by 80% over plans, another sign of the success and popularity of Lakeshore Collection pieces!
We can work with you on LS class lists/divisions that make sense for the number of them in your area (we all want good-sized competitive classes!) and can even, in the interest of time, help tweak your existing china/resin class lists to keep them competitive once the LS’s are pulled out!
