CowParade!!! Something different for a change! xDDDD Mooooz! xDDDD

Hi all after going to the Keukenhof in LIsse, The Netherlands yesterday I saw that they also had the expensive and rare Cow Parade collectors items I always wanted one, but it had to be one I have seen in full size format, and the one I seen at Keukenhof The Netherlands was this Tulip painted one:
Complete with tag and box, this is my new hobby I think

Here is the website for the painted ponies. They brand uses only a few molds (I think they have five now?) and puts different designs and such on them. The one I have has penguins on it. All the horses have names, like "The Front Runner," that relate to the design on the horse. The mold also corresponds to the design in some way. "Storm Rider" is on a windswept stallion, that perfectly matches his purple body with lightening strikes!
I've accepted your friend invite

Hah very cool, didn't know of hear about them xDDD     
And thanks for accepting the friend invite    

Not a problem

Oh wow they have more than just five, check out these!!!

Oh, yes, they have many, many more than five models, they have about five molds. You can see that some of the horses look the same, but have a different costume or design. For example, on your link, Western Charm and Freedom Reigns are the same mold.
I'll try to get a photo of my Painted Pony.

Great addition. I love the paint job, and they look like quite a pair.

Nice add Tylo:)
