Miniland horse

Last week I made an other special purchase for me: the miniland horse model. Looking for in the forum I found few topics about miniland so I'm not going to spend so much time talking about this brand: Miniland is a Spanish brand, they don't make animal replicas, but other toys - specially for babies-

It isn't a good model. The horse is disproportionate because the head is very small. Also his legs are quite big. And the model I bought - second hand - belonged to a child, so he played with him and my horse isn't in perfect condition. Anyway, as the Tiger horse, for me these models are very special

Mine is a mare, - is yours a stallion ?
Ithink they are a little inspired by the old Cludesdale horses from Safari .

Perhaps you know that we are making a wikipedia for toy animals, - we don't have many pictures of Miniland models. :http://toyanimal.info//index.php?title=Miniland

May we use these pictures, please ?

This one is amazing! Congrats :)

On miniland website just is said "horse", not if the animal is a mare or a stallion. But I couldn't also find your model, so I don't know if she is the mare or an other previous model.

Anyway, I found three shops in my town where miniland toys are sold, next week I'll go to see if there are more horses

And, finally xD yes you can use them but I'll try to take better pictures for you, maybe tomorrow :)

I think your Miniland horse is very special indeed. First, it is one of the few relatively modern Spanish horse figures in that scale. Miniland tried to build a range of animal figures adjusted to the Spanish reality and the fact is that they introduced a draft horse instead of a lighter breed what is somewhat surprising. It is also an original design, even if we can find some inspiration as Susanne mentioned, it is not for sure a copy of any other figure. It is also different from Susanne's model, yours is the one we know from Miniland catalogue being Susanne's probably an updated version of it. I am really glad you decided to share it with us.

Simone, can I please ask you if you will make a picture of the foal for TAI ?

The man from the shop where I acquired some Miniland figures told me once that Miniland were much better painted in their early versions. I have no idea about it and I also can't tell which ones are older or newer. Though, it seems it is not only a question of painting. Thanks for showing, Simmone.
