I am not sure what you mean ?
( I suppose you mean in the mane, - the long hair on the neck?)

Do you mean that a real horse, or the model ?

I think he means spots on her back?



The one above has it, but maybe only the white Percerson's have the spotting?

The spots are called dapples. Grey horses ussually have them, and then they are called dappled gray. But sometimes dapples are not present... It´s not very common to see a gray horse without dapples, but they exist. This one is a steel gray (a black horse going gray):




And this is my mare, a dapple gray (this is an old pic, she´s not so thin now). Notice the white "spots" on her coat:




I forgot to add: most not dappled horses are young grays, when they are just starting to turn gray :) Remember that gray horses are born in "normal" coats, and then get greyish and greyish with the time, until they get nearly white (or completely white).

Dear collector friends, please excuse that I rarely write here, but it's too little time.

But today I got my first newcomers of 2013 from Papo and want to show it to you.

The Indian Rhino with Baby:








And the White-handed Gibbon:



I hope You like it :)

I love that gibbon! The rhinos are very well done too.

Congrats Yurumi!

I have to say Papo come out very good figurines this year!!

Thay are absolutely fantastic ! Fabulous photoes, too, they almost look alive !!!

CONGRATULATIONS with these beauties

Thank you for the great pictures, I love them.

Welcome back Ralf, great to hear from you again

Nice additions I especially love the gibbon

Wow, Ralf you got some amazing animals!!!! And photos are very beautiful too!!! Wow!

Congratulations!!!

I'm very happy to see you back here

Welcome back Ralf. It is great to see that even you have not too much free time that you don't forget us.
And look how realistic these pictures are! Of course the realism of the figures help but the photographer knew how to make them look alive. Many thanks!
I'll get the gibbon and it would be very interesting someday, to see a comparison topic between the Papo and Safari Indian rhinos, both look magnificent pieces.

They are fabulous Ralf!! I love the rhino and calf
