Ah, thank you!

Well, it´s not perfect, it has little scratches. Anyway, they are very little and it´s a bit difficult to see them in a simply looking (I hipe I wrote this well xD)

Thanks Henriette !
My son tought me these funny acronyms like MINT, NIB, NRFB, MIB, so I thought it was only me who didn`t know them before

In German they have an acronym that sounds like fine brandy VSOP or something, - as far as I know it means either that it is in original package or that the packageing has never been opened, I never discovered when it it wich

Ok, I´m opening a new topic because the other one is not the correct place to say that.

Here is another recent arrival (13103):

This one is the only horse that is not in my collection.

Okay, Sylvia, we'll have to help you find one that is to your liking!

Thank you so much^^

I got him!!!!! I had a look in internet to see if anyone was selling one. And yes! It was not really cheap, but untill now I´ve always seen it for 55 or more euros, really expensive; so it was cheap. In addition the shipping cost are truly cheaper that the others. Now I only have to wait until its arrival... I can´t wait!!

Well, that was FAST...Congratulations, it's a beautiful figurine. We will look forward to a photo when you receive it...

Congrats

In fact it was not fast... I was looking for it since several months ago

Thank you both!

Wow congratulations Sylvia

Congratulations Sylvia!!

Big big congratz

You have al the schleich-horses now?? Including the super pinto???

Wow!!! Great Jobb!!

Not all, I think there´s a darker version of this one But I knew about it few days ago; and I´ve never seen it on ebay or similar, so I don´t hope to get it. Maybe some day...


Thank you all!

Congratulations :)

It really is a cute little foal, I love mine !

Congratulations, Sylvia

I think it is the cutest foal-figuere AT ALL, in all brands, all sizes, all time

PS. Somebody told me the darker version is a just "rohling" ( test-figure that had originally been thrown away in the factury), - I have no idea if this is right or not

Well done, Sylvia...

Thanks! :)

Maybe you remember my topic https://sts-forum.forumieren.de/t3066-nothing-important-just-wanted-to-comment

Well, the package has just arrived few minutes ago :) And inside it there were 2 amazing color variations ^^

First, the foal I wanted! The 13619 Knabstrupper foal in a darker coat. The one I already had is the foal on the left, the "new" one is the one on the right:






And the other variation, the 13650 quarter horse. Once again, the "new" one is the horse on the right. The difference is not as big as in the foals, but you can see that mine (the one on the left) is a chestnut varnish roan and my new one is more like a solid blanket bay:









I know many of you are not very used to horses coats and genetics, so I´m going to give some explanations in order to make you easier to see the differences: Varnish roan is kind of roan similar to "normal" roan, but normal roan is visible in all the body+neck, and varnish is deppending on the horse. Varnish roan only expresses if Leopard gene is present. It doesn´t mind if Leopard is active or not (which depends on some other genes combination), so we can see varnish roan in mottled and non-mottled horses. Another big dofference between roan and varnish roan is that a roan horse is born with the roan pattern and it doesn´t change along time whereas varnish acts more like gray, the foal is born without the varnish roan pattern and it appear and get louder when the horse ages.

So both Schleich horses have an appaloosa genotype Ok, some pics as examples of what I said.

A pair of varnish roan on non-mottled horses (not showing Leopard):






Now, some roans:






And now, some solid blankets:









I hope I didn´t bored you so much!

Oh, I forgot to say: the horses I already had (foal and stallion on the left) are made in China, the "new" foal is made in Germany and the "new" stalion is made in Portugal :)

Oh I love the new foal colour variation! Wow, they are so different, super finds Silvia!! Thanks for the information on the colours too.
Congratulations! And really nice that they're made in Germany and Portugal
