New horses on my herd - PLEASE NOTICE I AM NOT KRISTIE!

I´ve just got those horses. They are not as bendable as 2011 ones, but not as hard as the 2010. They seem to be a mix of both. Well, the Lipizzaner is like 2011 horses...

I like them, but I´m not very pleased with the paintjob, specially with the grullo Mustang mare (well, Mustang because the catalogue says that, her morphology is not like a real Mustang´s) and the QH manes. The Lipizzaner face is a bit disapointing too, it seems to be dirty.

And I had to reposition some legs, some of them couldn´t stand on theirselves.

Anyway... I´m happy with them :)

Congratulations Silvia ! Very beautyful horses!!

I noticed

OOOOOH ! You got the bay roan

Wonderful horses, WOW !

Congratulations, Silvia

Congratulations
They are beautiful. I like the Haflinger the most.

I'm really conflicted about these more recent CollectA horses. They looked great in photos. I finally ordered some several months ago -- the Buckskin Lusitano Stallion and the Black Thoroughbred Mare -- and I confess I was thrown off seeing them in person. They were more rubbery than I expected and at the time, didn't grab me the way the pictures had. But now, every time I walk by the Thoroughbred, she catches my eye and I've come to like her more. And I keep staring at pictures of the Bay Quarter horse that just came out (pictured above). I think I'm going to have to get it! (It's a 'him' if I understand correctly, even though stores describe him as a mare.)

Thank you for the pictures Silvia! I think I'm definitely going to pick up that Quarter horse.

Thank you my friends!

I´m Silvia Thank you anyway ^^


Scot, yes, the QH is a "he".

I'm officially in love with the bay roan mare... Guess I'll have to order the pony* too, she's adorable!


* - I refuse to call her a Haflinger because she clearly isn't - Haffies are sturdy small horses, more like Highlands or Fjords in build. This one? Maybe a sportpony.

Congratulations Silvia! Very nice newcomers My favorite is also roan mare (same as Sumo's :) )

Here in Portugal many horses are with bent legs too!
Of course I mean these from CollectA.
They are experiencing some hard times with these figures. It is not always easy to give the best. Some of them are beautiful and I believe the brand will find a solution.

Thanks for showing these photos, Silvia! I have the Quarter Horse on my wishlist, but I see what you mean about the paint jobs. The manes on the QH are somewhat sloppy, no?

Congrats Silvia!!

How about your opinion on Haflinger Mare? I may want to get her and it look good on your photo.

Congrats Silvia!
What do you think of the strawberry roan mustang colour?

I can't even recognize the breeds But they seem very fine to me

Here, in France, it is almost the Cowboys who have bent legs

I really like the red roan one (Red roan = bay + roan; strawberry roan = chestnut + roan). The roaning is pretty well done, it has surprised me a lot! Honestly, I expected a bad roaning paintjob and I must say this one is really good.

The "Haflinger" one is not a Hflinger. The body, the head, the legs... She could fit a fat Welsh, maybe D section. But not a Haflinger. Her paintjob is not really good at all, look at the pasterns and the tail. The hooves paint is on the pasterns too, and the tail seems too dirty! In adition, her ears are also painted with the mane paint.

Kristie, I don´t know the meaning of "sloopy"... But I can tell you that the QH´s manes have dissapointed me a lot. Specially the chestnut´s one.

About the breeds... The QH and the Lipizzaner fit their breds, but not the others.

I´ll post better pics tonight and I´ll try to tell you wich breds I think are better for them.

Congrats Silvia! They are amazing

Oh sorry, I'm not very good with horse colours glad you like it though! This one and the grey shire are the only two I'll be getting I think.

Do you know Kiki? Some cowboys are like us. They don't understand anything about horses. I bid that someone told to this cow-boy to search for a heavy and elegant horse called boulonais and he mistaked it and he is riding a charolais! Cowboys!

Hahah!

I´m sorry I couldn´t post some better pics yesterday... I had no time. And now I´m going to a trip, so I´m afraid you´ll have to wait until the weekend to see them!

You guys need to stop calling her Kristie. Perhaps I do have too many horses in my collection.

Silvia, I think it's just a typo and that Kristie meant that the paint-work on the QH's manes is sloppy. I'm curious if that is what is disappointing to you about the QH or whether it is also the way the QH manes are sculpted.

I was sort of looking forward to getting the Bay, but now I'm not sure.
