Pony and her friend Terri :D

This model went directly on my wishlist when I saw the picture
It has almost everything : Charm, beauty, (almost) accuracy, and lots of humour

The dog is a little cross-bred Terrier, I think, and they can do just that kind of tricks.
I know that many corgies like to jump from back to back of a flock of sheep, - much easier than to run round the flock if you have short legs.

Once I visited a farm where they had Iceland horses, and on one of them sat a little, red chicken !!!
As soon as the horses came into the stable, the chicken would jump on the rump of the horse, and usually she would stay there and sleep during night  

Here they are, the mare and the little dog

Some other CollectA horses to show the size : A large Arabian the cute Dartmoor mare .

What breeds are the mare-and-dog then ?
Well, on the mare it says "Mare & Terrier".
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

In the catalogue it says "Skewbald mare with terrier" , or just " Skewbald mare"
except in German, where you can choose between "Pet-pony with her dog friend" and "German riding pony with terrier-mix"  
I can not read the Greek description
Thus, I suppose you can choose what you like best

That mare has the most lovely face

The dog also, - look at the flappy ears !
They could have been a little more precise when painting the nose, though

The way the mane falls to the sides is lovely and very realistic !

Deborah McDermott seems to have a problem making the chest of some horse models.
Or perhaps it is to make it easier to hold in a little hand ?

The hooves are nicely made, but the front hooves should be more rounded.
The rule of thumb is that a front hoof is round, and the back hooves are heart-shaped

I could call the little dog Terri, that is the name of Tin Tin's dog in Danish

If I should be REALLY critical, there should be shorter hairs at the top of the tail.
It leads rain away from the thin skin under the tail.

Yip ! Yip !! Could somebody paint my nose round , please ?

All in all : A wonderful model, in my opinion  

Oh what a fantastic figure! The little dog looks like Pippen, our late little maltipoo, if it were totally white. Thanks for the walkaround!

Regardless of each personal taste. That is a remarkable figure. I don't remember seeing many figures like these before and CollectA was bold enough to release it. The dog is funny and the mare is very beautiful, such a gentle pony. I think it is really great although some children will probably try to remove the dog.
Greek reads Skewbald mare and Terrier. Transliteration of mare is forada.

Wow Susanne, marvellous walkaround!.

Great idea of CollectA.

Thankyou, dear friends

Yes, I also tried to take the dog off
I am sure CollectA also considered to make the dog "loose", but then it would be a play set, and something not so new

The figure is certainly a very nice model and now I'm putting it on my wishlist!

We had a donkey and goose whom were best friends and the goose would always follow him around. Then one day we sold the donkey (and my father regretted it as it supposedly bad luck to sell a donkey and this is what happened next...)

Firstly our house was broken into and our tumble drier was stolen
Secondly our quad was stolen
Thirdly the man who bought our donkey died

Then we got our donkey back, and as soon as he got out of the trailer he ran towards his stable with the goose following after him.

What a fantastic story, Adam

Good that you got the donkey back

Yes it was, and he lived till he was 32! Spending the good years with the goose until Scoot (the goose) was taken by a fox in early 2006

That was exactly what I expected from you.
They could use some little magnets on dog paws and a metallic surface under a little layer of plastic on pony's back. Am I not an inventive man?

WOW !!!! Extremely inventive

But we know that already, - if I had a model animal company, I would employ my crodile friend as the first one

Whether you like horses/dogs or not, there is no denying that this is a very well done and entertaining model.
CollectA at its best, I think. Being innovative.

So lovely model !
And I actually like the choice of Collecta to make it like that.
It is unique and funny, and very cute :)
So I will definitely get it !
Thank you very much for the perfect walkaround dear Susanne

Thankyou, Simone and Kosta

This is such a lovely pair! Thank you for the walkaround Susanne!
I ordered the mare too, still on the way I think. After seeing your pictures I am very happy I will have them soon too! :)

WOW, Shanti !!!
I am proud that you want them also

Do you plan to repaint them ?

Yes, most probably I will take the dog off and see what I can do with them. :)
