VnV Studios salutes the winners!
*************************************************
This page is dedicated to all the models that have been painted by VnV Studios and have won at shows (photo or live). Right now you will see quite a few that still reside here at VnV on this page. Hopefully more owners of our models out in the world will come forward with their wins too.
If you own a model by us that you'd like to see here please email me with which model and what accomplishments it's gotten and I'll be happy to feature it here for you!
Congratulations everyone I'm so happy they're doing so well for you!
**********************************************************************
PLEASE NOTE: Just because a horse is listed here as NAN Qualified does not mean I make ANY claim to my work being LSQ. In fact quite the opposite I do not claim at all that my horses will win at a live show, I paint horses for display/photo showing purposes. It is up to their new owners to decide whether they are their definition of LSQ or not.

**********************************
VnV Notorious Thunder
Black Clydesdale Stallion. Breyer G2 Clydesdale SM repainted Blue-Black by VnV Studios. Owned by VnV.
Notorious is one of my older works, done right after this mold was released. However he continues to win. After a brief but memorable stint in live showing where he placed within the top 5, he's been photo showing for us. In 2010 alone he got 11 championships/reserves, 11 firsts, 4 seconds.
**********************************
VnV Obsession
Black Percheron Stallion. Breyer G3 Belgian Stablemate to blue-black by VnV Studios. Owned by VnV.
Please excuse his terrible photo, will update with a better one soon. Obsession is so named because when this mold came out I was obsessed with it and he was one of the first I painted. He has always photo shown very well for us and in 2010 he won 4 championships/reserves, 5 firsts, 5 seconds.
**********************************
VnV Rainha das Flamas
Bay Silver Lusitano Mare. Breyer Foundation Stallion repainted Dark Bay Silver by VnV Studios. Owned by VnV.
Rainha is the pride and joy of our customs that we still own. In her only live show she placed third in a massive Spanish custom class, which is phenomenal for a simple repaint on this mold. Since then she's been photo showing very well for us. In limited showing against all the brand new spanish molds including custom Alborozos she earned 2 firsts, 5 seconds in 2010 with a bad quality photo. We look forward to what she can do with her new photos in 2011.
**********************************
VnV Ramses Arakus
Fleabitten Bloody Shoulder Arabian Stallion. Breyer G1 Arabian Stallion SM done to Bloody Shoulder by VnV Studios. Owned by VnV.
Ramses is an incredible show horse. He placed very well in the few live shows he entered and then went on to win for us in photo showing. In 2010 alone he racked up 8 championships/reserves, 6 firsts, 2 seconds in gender, breed, and color classes. We've entered him in more shows this year and hope to see him do even better.
**********************************
VnV Star Sapphire
Steel Dapple Grey Morgan Stallion. Breyer G1 Morgan Stallion Stablemate repainted by VnV Studios. Owned by VnV.
Though one of our vintage pieces Star Sapphire has done incredibly well for us and continues to do so. In 2010 he earned 5 championships, 3 firsts, 2 seconds.
**********************************
VnV Terciera Alvorada
Metallic Dapple Steel Grey Mustang Mare. Breyer's Classic Mesteno's Mother mold repainted by VnV Studios. Owned by VnV.
Terciera is proof that a less than wildly popular mold can still show very well in a good color. In 2010 she won 9 firsts, 6 seconds.
**********************************
VnV Thunder Dawn
Bay Leopard Appaloosa Stallion. Blue Ribbon Stables Stallion mold redone to wild bay leopard by VnV Studios (based on a real leopard). Owned by VnV.
What can I say about Thunder? Even though this mold/make isn't that popular he has come home with many championships/wins over Breyers/Stones. Though regrettably in 2010 he had terrible photos he still brought home 1 first and 8 seconds against tough competition. Before that he was a very consistant winner always in the champs/top 5. We look forward to him continuing his winning ways with much better photos in 2011.

**********************************
VnV Wind of Destiny

VnV Zeus' Earthbound Thunder
Black Sabino Clydesdale Colt. Breyer Traditional Clydesdale foal cm'd to a colt and painted a blue-black sabino by VnV Studios. Owned by VnV.
