Hi!
Yes, the magazines are sold outside Germany, but they are only available in the shops in countries that speak mostly German (so far I have only seen them in Austria and Switzerland), because they aren’t translated to any other language.
If you want you could try the publisher (Blue Ocean Ag) by sending them an email to order the magazines (or to get a subscription).
It’s more expensive than buying the magazine in the shop, but might be worth it if you really want them.
I did this and currently get them delivered in the Netherlands

It indeed might be worth it to check for exclusives in the toyshops.
I spotted last year’s exclusives yesterday in a toyshop in Czech Republic.

Hi, please where did you see them in Czech? What toyshop?

I received the new magazine today and I have to say, I think this months foal is very cute.
She's a welcome improvement from July's disappointing Pura Raza, at least to me anyway.
Still not a fan of the smooth texture these new models seem to have, They seem oddly shiny and look very plasticky
But overall I still like her. (I know Schleich has called it "Monty" and is selling it as male but this mold is female so I'm keeping it that way)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I've named her Pancake and she fits right in with her mum, dad and two big sisters
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I'm extremely excited about Novembers Release.
It's a little Fjord  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Thank you for sharing this!
I'm very glad to see that her pinto markings are not mirrored and even though I also don't like their new texture, I actually like that colouring. There are so many Tinkers on the market but rather few foals so she is now definitely on my wishlist! She will probably be the Papo's semi-rearing Tinker mare's foal. I might like this version even more than the original.
Pancake is such a cute name! It sure suits her.

And I am so happy about the next foal! Now the 2024 Fjord pare can have a foal (Let us just ignore that the "dad" is actually a gelding). She even has a dorsal stripe, not like her first version. I might keep her original name, it sounds cute. She looks textured on the photo and even seems to have some sort of stamp on her leg... Let's see...

Well Monty is also both a Male and a Female name. :) So you could keep the original name <3

I dont like the norweger's (fjord) name though. Freki is norse mythologi and means The Gluttonous. One of the wolf's who acompany Odin.

Another reason I changed it was because I’m already using the name Monty for the 2013 Shire stallion and I don’t like to reuse names.

In other news, here is the cover & contents for this months magazine:[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

That looks better than the magazine pic for sure, thank you!


About the name Freki, I think that it is a somewhat sweet name for a horse. It's kind of ironic I guess and I like it. I will keep that name for her.


I wonder if she has gotten the normal Schleich print back as one can see that certificate sign on her leg. Does someone already have this magazine and knows which foal comes next?

I'm hoping that mine will arrive on Monday so I'll post some pics once it arrives if nobody else has by then.

I saw a picture on the Instagram story from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] with the upcomming foal. But in mine opinion the foal looks weird and cheap.
Mine magazine is delivered but at my neighbours house and they are on a holiday. So i need to wait when they are back home, to get it...

No, the foal sadly doesnt have the schleich print on its belly

He is a foal in the mould of the Fell foal with black spots.

no Branding underneath.

January's foal:[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
It's hooves look really weird, like they're too big??

It's as if they put on their father's shoes.

Thank you for showing the pictures!
I like Freki, she looks good enough to join the herd at some point (hopefully sometimes next year).
Their next foal is... interesting.
I can definitely see what you mean. She looks quite unsteady and I am not sure if I like her coat colour. Can Fell ponies even have an Appaloosa or pinto pattern? I'll make a final decision once I see pictures from her.
This year's foal were a hit or miss for me. Some turned out to look quite cool (even if not always realistic) and some were a definite pass. I'm excited to see what the next year will bring us and till then I'll try to hunt down the foals I liked from this year's batch.

Apparently the Polish version of the next horse club magazine is avalable already
(somebody is selling one on eBay, but it's expensive for what it is so I'm still gonna wait untill I can get it from my normal source)
anyway I'm glad to see it's hooves look much better in reality than they did in the promo pic.

Nope, Fell pony's shouldn't have excessive white markings (other than grey)

Ok, that's interesting but better for us collectors I guess. Thank you for showing it!

The foal looks definitely better than on the very strange promo pic but I am still a little bit undecided. I would keep it  probably as a Shetland (or Shetland cross) as coatwise it can't be a Fell pony (great job again Schleich's coat colour designers) and definitely change her name. Pity that the person didn't post a photo of the sneak peek, that would be very interesting but I guess that the person didn't want to open the packaging.

I saw the preview of the polish magazine for the next foal.
It was Storm as a foal somehow, which was released a long time ago. I dont know what to think of it

What is that?
Next Magazin no.51 Storm and the first comic again[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Oww, that is just sad if you have him already. I hoped for a new foal.
Alright let's wait and maybe the next foal after Storm is a new one. Fingers crossed....

The next foal due to arrive in France is also Storm
