Hello Everyone,
Stacy Becker here, many of you know me from the Golden Oak Stables show series or from various other shows in New England. I've spent the past year and a half really hoping to foster the new hobbyists in the area and I'm hoping that a forum will help that even more! This is a place where you can feel safe about asking "Silly" questions, finding out about live shows in the area or just chatting about model horses, its all okay here!
A little about me. I'm in my mid twenties and been involved with model horses since the early nineties. My parents have always collected and or sold antiques and collectible toys so collecting was in my genes. I grew up in Cincinnati Ohio so taking a short ride down to Breyerfest became my annual birthday present (Thank goodness for a July birthday!) in 1994. I've missed 3 Breyerfests since then, but hope not to miss another.
My collection consists of around 1500 model horses, the majority of them Original Finish Breyer horses followed by a few Customs, Resins, Peter Stones and more recently China horses.
I began showing in 2000 when the internet began making it easier for all of us to chat. In 2006 I moved to Massachusetts and then in 2008 I began working with Golden Oak Stables to start what many of you know near and dear.
Working with new hobbyists is the most important thing I've done in this hobby and its quickly become my passion.
I hope you find this forum as a safe place where we can enjoy talking about model horses!
Thank you for joining! Can't wait to meet all of you!
Stacy
