Panini - Shire horse - walkaround

Ok, let me bring some fun with this topic :)

A have a beautiful horse model for you.
I guess it is a Clydesdale , am I right ?
Maybe some of you already know this model, or have it ...
But let`s see who first will guess which brand it is and how big it is :)

Then , I will show more photos for complete walkaround and I will change the title of the topic

Here it is :





Do you guys think, it is a beautiful and accurate model ? :)

This horse does let me think about the Papo one.
But, the Papo I am thinking of is not 100% the same as this one...

No idea, but it is a nice horse :)

Interesting guess Karin :)
Yes, it has a charm like Papo horses ... and a bit of Papo style...
But it is not Papo :)

First of all, I like the game! To be fair, I also like the horse. The pose is very inspiring and dapple grey draft horses are not very common.
By the way, it is not a common color for a Clydesdale. I tend to think that when these horses are taller in proportions, they look more like Shires although our horse ladies already explained that both conformations could be found in both breeds. They're quite similar anyway.
Well, that conversation means that I have no idea about the brand, but, as you placed the topic in Publishing companies, I suspect it is from an editorial... but which one?

Very nice looking model! No idea what brand can it be.

A very beautyful model

Perhaps it is a Percheron ? They are very often grey, and have about that build.  

About the brand....I don't know at all

Thankyou for bringing fun to life , dear Kosta

Thank you for your comments Karin, Roger, Anna and Susanne    

Yes Roger, one hint helping for the answer is the place of the topic :)

Oh, yes, thank you Susanne, so it is more a Percheron

Ok, to guess the brand, I will help you more with two photos showing the size of the model.

Let`s see it with the Collecta Percheron :



and Collecta Shire :




So now, seeing how small it is, maybe you will guess the brand ..  
Let`s see  

I think your choice for a guess game is perfect. I keep having no idea about what it is. It is much smaller than I thought. Actually, the pose and size seems as it was made to fit in a egg like those from Kinder. However, these eggs are not from editorial companies. Panini horses are larger and the only series I know doesn't have a figure like this one. We have a Bulgarian mistery.
Not wanting to discuss horses with Susanne, but when I saw the color, I also thought it could be a Percheron , though, the feathering on lower legs made me think that it was probably not a Percheron but other breed instead.

If it is a Grand Champion horse, I will get a nitfit.
Found a Grand Champion horse, with no 'real' mane and tail, so all plastic and I can not find anything about it.

It's not big, perhaps it's from Panini? I really like it a lot, it looks especially good for this size! Where did you find this?

I would say it looks like a Shire horse, not a Percheron, because of the feathering on legs, the shape of his neck (as much as we can say from this position) and very long legs. Shires can sometimes be gray too

Thank you again fo your new comments Roger, Karin and Anna

I`m happy, that I found something which is not so easy to be guessed

And now, we even have a mystery about the breed

Like Susanne said , the colors are more typical for a Percheron,
but Roger is right too and Anna have a good points about the anatomy , so it is maybe a Shire horse ... :)
I`m not so familiar with horses, so I would like to ask ... this little horse model has something like a beard... is that typical for these breeds : Clydesdale and Shire ? Does Percheron has it too ?


Anna, I`m very happy, that you like this model, I like it very much too :)
And I will answer to your questions, but I would like first to wait for
Susanne`s comment , if she like to give a suggestion too :)

...a bit more waiting for the answer ...

I'm very curious about this model's brand Just can't wait

Ok, I think it`s time to solve the mystery about the horse :)

And ladies and gentlemen we have a winner !

And the winner is ............... Anna !

And the name of the brand is :




Yes, Panini.
And Roger was very close
Anna, I found this horse, together with other models from Aliexpress.
I wasn`t sure about the brand, because on Aliexpress, they doesn`t show the name of brands..
but I liked the models, especially this one, so I bought them.

This model actually comes with base , like the other horses from this line :



Let`s see the others :



and from the other side :



Actually I have 2 more horses from these models :





I believe this one is a Black Forest Horse (if I`m not wrong) :





and this is maybe a Black Forest foal ..? :





Ok, let`s see a walk around of our Shire horse :























And one more comparison photo with a Breyer Stablemate model :



Thank`s for watching
and thank you for commenting this topic friends.
Congratulations to our winner Anna

Very interesting game, Kosta! I am glad we have a winner and! Congratulations to Anna! It was not easy, even with all the information you are providing, it is not easy to find information about the collection. So, there is, at least, two Panini horse series.
ABout shire horses being grey and bearded, I asked our Princess.

Thank you for your comment Roger :)

I changed the name of the topic, to be used as walkaround

Wonderful topic, Kosta !!!! Thankyou very much

And such great Panini horses you found

Roger, yes ! Of course : Princess is a grey and bearded shire

Yay! I have guessed the brand! Nice!
All other horses from this set are also very nice! Especially that grazing Black Forest mare And they are even smaller than stablemates! I think they could be especially good candidates for custom repaints

I agree that grey Shires are not very common but also not extremely rare! Last year I had a chance to see and photograph this lovely grey mare on the Shire show here in Holland

My favorite horse breeds include Belgian, Shire, Percheron and Clydesdale...

Thank you for your comments Susanne, Anna and Valérie :)
And thank you very much Anna for these wonderful photos of this so beautiful Shire :)

What a lovely little shire figurine Hadn't seen it before, but it's perfect! Congratulations on getting it and thank you very much for sharing, Kosta!

Thank you Julie :) Glad to see you back here
