| The only joy of packing some of your collection down, is the joy of unpacking them, and seeing them again For a while I have had the new - rather girlish - set standing on my table, and now I wanted to see the old ones again. I had completely forgotten how wonderful some of them are The first ones were standing on one of my book shelves for some years, -hopefully I have gotten most of the dust off them Even if you may know them well, I hope it is ok to show them here ? They were made during the years 2008 - 2012, the last two were retired after only one year. The show jumper set, is perhaps the most beautyful one, and the one that was made for the longest period : From 2008 - 2012 : [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The western set was made from 2009 - 2012 : Lots of fine details ! The cowboy is very professional, sitting completely relaxed in the saddel, as his horse breaks so the sand flies [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The racing set was made from 2008 - 2011, and is a beautyfully sculptured, too ! You can almost hear the hooves drumming Perhaps not the most eye-catching one, which may be the reson that it was retired first. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Dressage set , made from 2009 - 20012. The one who made this set must know about dressage. Look at the rythm in the sidewards trot ( we call it traversade in Danish). I like the type of this classical looking horse with the strong front [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The last two sets are slightly more toy-ish, I think. They look as if they were made by the new horse-artist who has made the horses since 2012 ? It seems they were not a great success, and were only made in 2011. The young cowboy does his best at the rodeo : [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Eventing set . Eventing ( In Denmark we call it Miltary ) is a tough discipline ! Both girl and pony seem a bit young for this test in stamnia and skills. Look how the girl falls back in the saddle - compare to the show jumpe rider in the first picture - . I hope they won't get hurt [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]I wonder if these sets will become collector's items some day, - just like the Artist's Horses have been the last couple of years ? Perhaps, in 10 - 15 or 20 years time ? If Schleich does not chase adult collectors away before then |

| I love these sets, unfortunately I missed the eventing set (hopefully I can find one someday), but these were golden ideas. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| They are so beautiful! I am looking at some of them too from my bookshelves :)
I think that the older sets, including the Wild West series, have amazing and much better horse models, than the new "stuff". Although, I am nicely surprised by this year's horse sets that have just been released. |

| I do not know if this is allowed. If not please delete my answer. I just saw several looking for some of the sets and on this Danish webside: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] are three of the sets still for sale: the western, rodeo and racing set. |
