My collection of horses: light breeds from Europe - UPDATED, w/ special editions

Here are some more pics from my model horse collection. I was afraid it might be too heavy to load, so I've split it into separate threads. Here you can see my European light breeds. ([You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.])

Hope you like them. :) Some pics are missing (in particular some Bullyland and Breyer figures), because most of my collection is currently boxed up, but all my best loved ones are here.

Lovely selection

Beautiful horses!

Wonderful (o)):

Those older Schleich, - Hanoveranian and thoroughbred are fabulous IMHO.

And, ohhhh ! You have the Safari appaloosa (Knabstruppers are white with dark spots all over) in the real, old painting

They are all beautyful ! And great photoes as usual

Maybe because I am more used with this kind of horses. These light breeds are those I find more beautiful. Lusitanos are the horses of my country so it is not a surprise.
You have a beautiful group of figures. No collectA and Mojo?

Thanks everyone!

Not yet! I should receive my first Möjo horse soon, though. As for CollectA, the models I've found around here were too big compared to my other models, so I decided to pass on them. Same with Breyers in fact. I used to have many Breyers (different sizes) but I've sold them all (but a the small Andalusian), because they weren't compatible with my other horses.

I understand. From what I can remember they are not much larger than your Oldenburger, but you had the chance of comparing them directly and we have to consider that Oldenburgers are very tall horses.
Which Mojo horse are you receiving?

The fjord horse. :) Hopefully the first of a long series.

Oh, of course! The Queen of Mojo horses!
I think my next Mojo horse has to be the Andalusian black.

Here's a new addition to the herd: a variant of the Lipizzaner mare (Schleich), made in Tunisia. My other lipizzaners are still boxed up - as soon as I retrieve them I'll take comparison pics. :)

That's great! A Tunisian variation.

seeing your horses makes me want to collect them too. :)

Thanks for the comments and views. :)

Careful, though! It's addictive!

Speaking of which, I'm proud to announce that the following special edition figures have finally joined the herd:

Nice again

I was almost tempted to get the Lusitano special edition when Yvett offered on forum but I decided not to get it once these figures are definitively more interesting to real collectors of horses. So congratulations for these special editions and those you're showing in other treads!

Thank you Rogério. The lusitano is the special edition variant I like best.

Passing on it was a nice gesture on your part, especially if there were devoted horse collectors after it. But part of me also thinks that if you really like a figure you should go for it. Who knows? It could be the first figure of a new collection.

I'm very happy with the quality and details on the new Safari ltd models.

Here are 3 new acquisitions:

Lipizzaner (Safari ltd)

Andalusian (Safari ltd)

I also love them, they look very good, long bodies and legs and a general good horse looking!
The Andalusian is particularly beautiful and it doesn't need an excentric pose to atract me. Very good detail, muscles, etc. Congratulations!
About the special horses I must say that the nice gesture was from Yvett, searching these horses and offering for normal prices on forum. From me it was not even a gesture. I like the horse only because it is a Lusitano and the painting is nicer than normal version. The "special" doesn't mean anything to me.

That was very kind. Kudos to Yvett for helping out fellow collectors! (o)): (o)):

Thanks for your comment, Roger.

Here are the new 2013 Schleich light horses:

And a special figure, limited edition "Isabell Werth's Satchmo":

"Isabell Werth's Satchmo" (Schleich)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
"Satchmo" by WorldsInMiniature, on Flickr

Isabell Werth is the world's most successful dressage rider, and Satchmo is one of her prized horses. This figure was available in 2010, in limited number (5000 pieces).

(o)): (o)):

I confess I almost bought Satchmo. This one and mainly, Bullyland special editions, are tempting.

Nice newcomers Comparing those new ones with the sculpt of Satchmo(which is a repaint of the 2004 Lipizzaner Gelding) I think he is a way more believeable horse, than the new very lean clean ones. But these things have been discussed over and over in other threads
