Abby's New Additions Thread - Update P6 - 1st October!

Open the boxes and find animals for our collections is very nice

...... it's the best ,congrats.

Oh they are lovely I agree Utterly Horses is a great place for online shopping.

Where are the Schleich made in? I wonder since you get them from a British Store.   as German stores usually have Made in Germany models.

I love especially the new Breyers Welcome to the club of those infected by Breyer Bug. I got one, just to try, and now I have 10 Breyer and 3 Peter Stone Traditionals
I personally think they are worth the extra money!

The ones you chose are really gorgous, and sculpted by Brigitte Eberl. I think she is one of the best artists that Breyer got hold of yet, (although I have only one of her molds, and that is even a Classic ).

I will also recommend you the Breyer Stablemate line. They are gorgeous and very affordable.

Thank you everyone

The two Akhal-Tekes are both made in Germany but I believe the rest were made in China

As for the stablemates, I may already have some coming in the post

congratulation

Beautyful horses, - all of them
Strange that the Lusitiano is almost waxy ! Hmmm, I seem to remember that some Chinese made ones were of a different material for a period a while ago ?

Yay Stablemates

Today the doctor (...or the postman) called and officially diagnosed me with the Breyer bug  

First up is Frankel- he is traditional sized and was on sale for a really great price

He has wonderful shading and seems to be LSQ (live show quality)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Then, in another package my Marwari arrived
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

He is so incredibly beautiful and has lovely dapples (though they're rather hard to see in my pictures)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Eeek! He's so handsome

Congrats on your acquisitions. So is this particular bug variant a short-term thing or a lifetime affliction?

Those are not Stablemates

However really great models you chose just there The Marwari looks like a nobleman, with a lot of character and feisty personality.

Beautiful new horses! Congratulations!

Congrats again Do you live show?

They are both fabulous models

I am the lucky owner of the Marwari horse too, and I can only agree that he is gorgeous

And so is Frankel, - what great models to expand your Breyer-collection with

Great photos, too, - I enjoy them very much

Congratulations :)

That bug is a real problem. Soon you won't have room to a little bug at home.
I don't remember seeing other representation of that nobble Indian breed and Breyer did a fantastic work with the marwari. Very good choice from you.

Holy cow! Those are just so beautiful-....! I've always wanted to see this incredible Marwari in hand and now you got it Huge congrats on both of them! Eooww I'm jealous

Thank you everyone I'm glad you all can appreciate his beauty

Not currently, but I am certainly considering it


Today it's my birthday and another two parcels came  (I swear they keep appearing )

I shall only show you the 'highlights' of the first parcel as it also had stablemate bodies (ahem victims) for customising.

This was once the akhal-teke foal but is now a...knabstrupper? appy? I'm not too sure to be honest but her name is Confetti
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The next one I shall show you all is a Classic scaled breyer foal
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

This is another breyer foal who will (eventually) be customised, she also came with free schleich tack which was a bonus!
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

In my second parcel I received five breyer stablemate foals (they're so small and tiny!)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

This one has already earned its nickname of 'tipsy' as it refuses to stand up for the camera
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

It seems that I have forgotten to take a picture of the fifth stablemate but I can assure you that he was very adorable

May you all have a happy new year

Congrats again!

Birthday time, what a great way to end the year with all these additions! Congratulations!

Wow you keep receiving those tresure packages
Who had repainted Confetti? She's so beautiful! These foals are too cute xD

It is filly time is see, congrats

Thank you everyone

It was Catriona Harris from Chestnut Ridge stables
(this is her store [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and this is her blog [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] )
Though I will warn you, Confetti (and possibly some other models?) could have some scratches that you can't see in the pictures

Thanks for the tip! Very interesting Threre are those foals I was looking some time ago.. Your little one is beautiful - even with her scratches.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Sorry, I should have said that yesterday, - but I mean it no less, - I hope you will have a wonderful New Year

Ohh, those foals are adorable, - what wonderful birthday gifts

Confetti is adorable ! She is not a Knabstrupper, she is Overo-pinto.
Knabstruppers are Leopard spotted, like appaloosas, not pintos

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Those are some lovely additions and the repaint is really beautiful

Thank you all for the Happy Birthdays  
Back before I joined this forum I don't think I knew the true meaning of kindness and generosity, though I certainly do now

Thank you Susanne! I get a little confused by horse genetics
