my Deborah McDermott's horses

She has no facial markings! A factory flaw, and a possible rarity? (Maybe I could call her Rarity  ) I wonder if it is usual with this model, or do I really have a unique horse? what about your Thorougbred mares, do they have stars and snips?

I think you may have a rarity, at least on this side of the Pond. The pictures of her on eBay in the US show her with a star and a snip, both promo and in-hand pictures. Congrats! I think she is lovely.

Haha great video too
Ponies are so charming and funny

Thank you, nice to hear from you

Absolutely!

Hello, after quite a long while, I got (unexpected) addition to my CollectA herd, lovely Thoroughbred filly:


She was on my wishlist, but as they stock CollectA models rather rarely here, it was quite a surprise when I spotted her in a store.

Her head is really cute:


With vital curious expression:


She is very well sculpted, way better than my Hanoverian filly from 2015. The Hanoverian doesn't have the lovely head of a foal, her head is somehow rough with not that vital expression.


The Thoroughbred filly (from 2014) has also more details, for example intimate parts, so no doubt, she's a filly


There is also another variant of that chestnut Thoroughbred foal - a standing colt, but I wanted more the filly -
she fits better to the mare with her pose, thanks to it she could trot by her mother's side.

 

That must be the most lovely model of a sports-breed foal I have ever seen    

Your pictures are wonderful too, and I agree that Filly fits perfectly to the mare

Hi Susanne, you're right, this is probably the most beautiful sporthorse foal, at least in my collection and at least from "Little Bits".
And thank you, happy you like my photos

She is lovely!

Wow, this is really a beautiful model of a filly!

Thank you @Dum_my and @Anne from Norway!

Hi there,
as you may know, I love dressage, it is my favourite equine sport - I love the idea of development of natural motoring of a horse (sometimes on pastures you can really see foals showing some of dressage moves) and the harmony and communication between horse and a rider needed for good performance, also dressage horses have to be smart to understand what they're supposed to do.
In model horse world, there are some horses in dressage positions, and so is the CollectA Hanoverian mare. And sometimes the dressage position looks somehow silly itself, but is something really different with dressage equipment:


I think the mare's concentration during performing piaffe makes now more sense.


It is handmade by Czech collector and model horse artist to fit exactly the mare and a rider (I've sent them to her to make it really fitting).


It is precisely made, with double reins:


The rider is Bullyland dressage rider "Viola" and I bought it for Bullyland special edition El Santo NRW to make dressage pas de deux with Schleich Hanoverian mare. But the rider is quite big, so El Santo looks like a pony under her. But I realized she fit to CollectA horses with her size.


The Hanoverian mare by Schleich with their dressage set is really smaller, they can be used together only to make a second rider in background:

Nice horses and wonderful photography!

Thank you Andreas and Valeria!

Hi there, after many Breyer additions and some Schleichs, I also got a CollectA.
She is a "bonus pony" from Yvette, that came with some Schleichs and Brumbies in January.

Lovely Arab lady, in elegant white grey, with high tail carriage, captured in gallop (?). I call her Energica to fit to my herd of Arabian mares, their names begin with E.

The CollectA one is off scale though, she is bigger than the trio. But I don't mind.

She is pretty, with vital, and kinda nervous expression. But that's maybe Arabian are full of energy and temperament?

Her face is really dished, of an Egyptian Arabian type, it is maybe bit unhealthy on a real horse, but definitely beautiful on a model horse.

These pictures are very beautiful as alway! I find that Arbian from CollectA a beautiful rendition of an Arabian and I like that it is in a pose that breaks with the classic poses. I also enjoy reading your comments about the figure.

Thank you very much Andreas and Roger, I'm happy you like my photos as it is quite difficult to take photos of white greys.

Ohhh, dear ! It is more than a year since you showed us your beautyful pictures

Please, I hope you have not given up collecting Collecta horses ?

Because of onatello and his wonderful photos, now I have most of the models from this topic.
I also hope he will come back

Anyone know what happened to Deborah’s collection? Etsy isn’t active and her web page is old

Have you tried looking for her on Facebook or Instagram? I know a lot of hobby artists share their work and sales through social media rather than running regularly updated personal websites/shops now. But they don't always show up through Google, I've just searched her name and not found any active social media accounts, but worth a look if you're able to access the search on the sites yourself?

these 2 links still work in their signature bar (on the posts above)- is this what you are looking for ?

I think the poster's looking for Deborah McDermott, the sculptor for the CollectA horses featured, rather than for the collector sharing them in this topic.
