I will start with this topic on one of the last of the classic plastic farm animals issued by Britains.

This model was number 2108 in the Britains Farm line. Originally issued in matt plastic in 1966 and then available from 1968 in PVC plastic. It was available in three colours: brown, brick (reddish brown as illustrated below and tan). The model was finally withdrawn in 1992.

Marked on the belly area: BRITAINS LTD ENGLAND

Essentially, this was a re-work from the original lead hollow-cast model which was introduced in around 1946 and last until 1959.

Chris, do I understand you right, that you want to see other People's Britains horses ?
If not, please just say so, and I will erase this

I got these a couple of years ago. It says 2010 on the box so they are neither old nor the slightest bit rare, - but I like them very much


They look very nice in the box, so I have not teken them out .
That way they do not come to any harm 

These were the old moulds, but Britains was already long before to the USA company Ertl, which is producing in China.
next to the old text Britains underneath, there is also Made in China in smaller letters printed.
and the colours are much more bright then on the old models.
But ok, it was still sold under the Britains name.

Here are my Suffolk Punch horses-I always though that this model was wonderful!  
Also a picture of the rather odd coloured palomino Shire that was made by Britains-Anyone know more about this model?
He was losing the grey paint on him so I repainted him when I was younger!

The light Suffolk is again a Ertl-Britains made in China, but under the Britains name.

Maybe i can add my few cts in this here...

Excelent contributions Willy! Once more, I really like these horses, not only because of the vintage charm but mainly because they are very competent sculptures.

Many nice horses Willy    

Very nice British hara Willy   

Old stuff is like old collectors, more rare but so amazing
