Percheron (2015) Collecta horse preview

 Awesome model! I hope it really will be in CollectA catalogue 2015!  

So this one did end up being a 2015 horse

Unfortunaltely it is not the original percheron cheval de trait - the heavy draught type  

She does look more slender and sporty than Cheval de Trait. Maybe she is a younger horse Or maybe it is Deborah's style with her horses. She always makes them more leggy and sporty, I think. A question of tastes, I suppose.

Looking very much forward to get her eventually

It's probably the American type of Percheron, they are more long legged.

I think I would prefer to see the classic version of the breed done by this company. And this model as a Norker Hah, I may get it and repaint it after all

This model is too leggy for Noriker Also, Norikers don't have such heavy legs. As virtually any European draught breed, even lighter ones.

It's more suitable for American draught breeds:

Percheron (Diligencier type - also accepted by French studbook, but more popular and refined in USA)

That mare would also make a good Cob Normand I think. They're fairly heavy and leggy at the same time.

Yes, our American Percherons are very weird looking - the mare that won supreme champion at my state's farm show was quite honestly a little freaky looking Super long, thin barrel, very long, thin legs, small head, just... strange. And the judge said she was gorgeous

Right, I forgot about them!

Oh my gosh that horse is stunning!!

I didn't know Machbach had a Cob Normand in its Altwüttemberger breeding program. This stallion is gorgeous !

I had a friend in high school who had a Cob gelding, when you rode him, he was like a 170cm high armchair ^^

Beautiful horses on those photos

@LeeAnn, the strange champion horse you speak of, is there any photos of her?

I'm not sure, maybe there will be some on the website after the show? I'll have to look.
