Horse repaint debate - Bullyland, Collecta or Schleich?

Ok guys, soon I will receive this beauty:

and I've been wondering which new coat can I give to him. I want to paint something more challenging than Schleich-like repaints. I've been thinking about appaloosa since I have no appaloosa yet. I've been thinking about this one:

or this one:

Any suggestions?

What a lovely mold!
Appaloosa would be nice! My personal favorite is a strawberry roan appaloosa like this one:

I have this model too she's such a beautiful girl! This one in the photo has slightly different paint job than mine. I'm very curious to see what you're gonna do for her. I think the first reference photo is nicer. Yeah maybe pretty challenging but I'm sure she'll turn out way you and we love
Good luck!

Thank you very much for your suggestions dear friends!

I've used the image from Toy Animal Wiki because I don't have my own pictures of the horse. The original one has a slightly different painting as well :)

This horse is very nice, almost 10 years retired, probably I won't use that mold to repaint in an Appaloosa, unless it is in a not very good condition. Of course choice is yours.
I will soon put the Schleich Knabstrupper mare in trade section, it is already a leopard, let me know if you find it a good choice and I send it to you.

I agree. It would be such a shame to repaint this rare, old beauty, - but your decition

Rogerio, you have already given me so many beaultiful horses that I woudn't even dare to think about another one from you. Please keep it

If you say so guys, than I will reconsider it. I've already ordered Collecta's horses as well so maybe I will repaint this stallion instead:

That one is one of the nicest CollectA models. Beautyful mould - and you cna just buy more

Much better to repaint, - IMHO

Susanne I think it is your time to shine

Exciting project Agata!! Appaloosa's are amazing horses, each one has a bit different pattern, I don't think you can find two the same

The CollectA mould is very beautiful and in general nice choice for a horse to customise. However it's again a special gait pose, and average Appaloosa probably don't move that way. But it can be mixed breed (TWH x Appaloosa)

The horse on a second picture looks actually not like an Appaloosa pattern but more like rabicano pattern  

From all Appaloosa's patterns I think I like snowflake Appaloosa's most, I think they are cute. Also the snowcap pattern is very nice Varnish and leopard patterns are also great. Yes, I think they are all very nice and very interesting.

Thanks Ana!
Yeah, I've made a mistake because I haven't noticed that it is actually TWH and not pinto at all (damn sellers!), but I'm thinking about repositioning its legs. The second picture that I've posted is actually sabino :)

It could be a Walkaloosa.

Really? It doesn't look sabino to me. More like strawberry roan or rabicano.

Reposition it, do! I'd love to see more remakes on the mold. Besides, nothing terribly drastic is even needed for it to become a plain walking horse (as opposed to a Walking Horse) - just plant both hind hooves on the ground, reduce the overstride a touch and - voilà. It could become a very tasty appaloosa, I think. Whatever you decide to do with it, I'll be curious to see the results.

That's something new!

I have found it somewhere on Google, but now I can't find it, lol.

Rabicano, that's what I thought too Especially because the roaning is not very extensive and the "skunk tail" marking is clearly visible

Ok, I have found it! HERE

Now I'm really confused, it says "Sabino Roan/Rabicano Pony"

Many people call the ticked-white manifestation of sabino 'sabino roan' without intending to indicate a 'true' or 'dark-headed' roan. The horse seems to be a chestnut sabino rabicano, though according to this article, it could also be mere sabino.
