Very nice horses
how big are they?
They are maybe not that great colors and paint jobs but they are very nice in anotomy!

They are wonderful

Thankyou very much for sharing again rare treasures from your collection !

I wished I could ask for photos to put in the ERTL-page in TAI, as we have no pictures of models there.
But I would not know where to out those pictures...it seems there are many series of ERTL

Congratulations :)

The horses are about the same size as Britains.Susanne the models went under ERTL Farm Country Animal Collectables-there were also cattle and dogs.

True, ERTL made other, larger horses; ones which were the same size as Breyer traditionals.  They come up for sale on ebay occasionally.  I don't I have photos of my big ERTLS.

On an amusing side - I bought a custom painted one of the small ERTL horses (think it's the QH) which had been made into a Christmas decoration.  It's hanging on my dining room chandelier along with a lot of other equines.

Sorry for reactivating this old thread but today I found these two beauties in a carton with different Schleich animals. I think they are wonderful!!

They are gorgeous, wonderful finds!

Thanks a lot for showing these. They look great, so I thought let's see whether I can find any on Ebay UK. Yes! Two horses, a foal and a dog. I immediately bought them. As far as I can see, the horses and pony are different from the ones you have.

You are welcome! Do you have a photo of the ones you just bought @rogerpgvg?

Here they are. Hopefully they'll arrive safely soon.

Oooh, they look great too! Somewhat familiar with Breyer Stablemates! The dog is nice too! Checke Ebay Germany too but nothing found. It's ok though, I have way too many figurines..

Here are a few more of the ERTL horses

Nice, especially the rearing horses. It looks like Ertl made lots of horses.

Very nice!!

Thank you.I have a catalogue from 1997 with the horses and cattle in it,so will try and take a photo.

Here are the horses form the 1997 catalogue.

Thank you, that's very useful. What is the breed at the top of the first page (photo cut off)?

It looks like the Mustang pair. These are not that uncommon in the US market, maybe one of us here can help you find something, Roger.

Editing to say I think I have the Shire in my trade box if you want it.

Very nice horses Taylor.

There are several ERTL sets or models on US ebay right now, I am sure someone could help you out of you wanted some.

Thanks, Kelly. Yes, I'd be interested in it. I'll send you a pm.

The horses I bought aren't shown in Taylor's catalogue. When I looked on Ebay US, I noticed that "my" horses are sold as 1/64 scale. The seller said that they are 3 inches tall though (1/32 scale), so I am curious what I'll get. Perhaps they were produced in both scales.

Taylor, would you be happy to show photos of the 1/32 scale cattle in your catalogue? I am curious what they look like.

They have arrived! Here is a photo:

They are the same size as Breyer Stablemates (1/32 scale). They are not bad and I am happy to have them, but they can't compare in quality with Breyers. The sculpts and painting are somewhat simple and the plastic looks quite cheap. It looks and feels like Lego plastic (ABS I think), but it has some shiny and some matt patches. Not so clear in the photo, but especially the adult horses have a mix of shiny and matt plastic. My impression is that they are lower quality than the horse series that is in Taylor's catalogue, which seem to have more detailed sculpts and painting.

My favourite is the dog. It looks like a familiar breed to me, but I haven't been able to identify it. Does anyone recognise it?

The two adults are the same. If anyone would like to have one of them, let me know.

They are lovely!! But the dog I like most! Dogs in this size are very hard to find. I think it must be a pointer, Weimaraner, Vizsla?

the foal and the dog are so cute ! how wonderful that they are 1/32nd scale. What a super addition to your collection Roger:)

These are nice! Thank you for sharing that 1997 catalogue page, I have the percheron set but didn't know there were others. @Taos I think that clydesdale pair is my favorite!
