Wow, it looks SO much better than all other Bullyland horses
He's already on my wishlist, he's gorgeous!

EDIT: Some info I managed to understand:
The model was created by the artist called Brigitte Eberl. It's El Santo NRW (called Ernie). Together with his rider Isabell Werth he takes part in dressage competitions.
He'll be sold on 4th June on Model Horse Liveshow in Munich.

I hope that those models which won't sell on this day will be available on their site.

Thanks for the information Ralf! Looks like a gorgeous model

Thankyou for explaining, Magda

My German is better than my Chinese, but that does not mean a lot

You're welcome :)
I edited the date, he'll be on sale since June, not July.

At least a Bully horse that I really want to have! Wow, that´s a great improvement!

Brigitte Eberl
Oh wow ! Guys, she is seriously one of the best model horse sculptors !

Her resin models sell for hundreds sometimes even thousands.

I hope to add one of these Bullyland models to my collection

I'm starting to hope that Bullyland and Brigitte Eberl (I saw her gallery, she's amazing artist!) wil collaborate more in the future (like Deborah McDermott and Collecta) - that would mean more great horse models in this scale and price range

She has also sculpted for Breyer and Peter Stone.

Her Breyer traditional models are
Alborozo
Giselle
Gilen
Keltic Salinero
And there are two classic scale Black Forest Ponies being sold at Breyerfest this year. I really want them !

Alborozo was used for one event, Breyerfest, and then the mold was destroyed ! This model is very sort after and even a body model, one with rubs and flaws, can sell upwards of $80 !
I'd love to have him in my collection but cannot spend $150+ one on model.

I just love the face, she's an amazing sculptress, hope I can get one

No way. No *beep*ing way. An Eberl?! From Bullyland?! *thud* This is amazing news! I've been dying to get some of her work, but the resins are too expensive and all her work for Breyer and Stone has been too large for my shelves.

My main problem is that Bullyland is REALLY hard to find here in Spain, specially new models, and shipping costs when buying on-line are very expensive

Is it this one ?

It sure looks like a fine model !

It's also available on Modellpferdeversand now, in 3 variants:
- horse model alone
- horse with halter and a rug
- resin, unpainted model

It's really nice, I've seen some detailed photos on MPV's forum, definitely the best horse model by Bullyland.
Now I can only hope it won't be an exception and they will make better models in future :)

EDIT: I forgot to mention I really want to have my own El Santo model

Gosh ! My wish-list is getting crowded

Can someone link to where it is being sold, please ? I'd like to add one to my collection if they are not too expensive

As I feared, much too expensive for me.

Thank you for the link.

Here is the cheapest variant:

See what Susanne sent to me few days ago! If I haven´t posted this before is because I had problems first with my camera and later with my computer. But finally I can post some pics! Thank you so much Susanne!

I´m sorry about the pics, I still have some little problems.

And here with Satchmo, another great dressage champion :)

I love him! The more I look, the more I want one. (several actually, for repainting... this guy would look good in so many colors!)

Congratulations Sylvia for such a special horse! Susanne never stops!

Congratulation Sylvia

Thank you my friends!

I also thought so, but he´s so soft that I don´t think the paintjob would keep perfect on him. I mean, if a leg is bended by accident the paint could be removed or something like that, his legs are very bendable. Oh, and he´s really difficult for me to get (I think that without Susanne I couldn´t had got him)
