The Disneys look quite proud of themselves. In a good way, I like them!

I love the mix of brands you're showing.

I'm so happy to see them go to a good home! The zebra looks right at home among new friends.

thank you for making it happen Jill !
and indeed, everyone is friends :)

The big Etrl lipizzaner is lovely, and I think quite rare, I see a lot more of their small plastic range for sale or in people's collections. He looks a bit difficult to display with his all-feet-off-the-ground pose though, would he have had a stand originally?

thank you George! yes he has a stand with an acrylic piece holding him up, but at the moment he is sitting on top a tall flask. He's such a beauty! What do the smaller ones look like ? Maybe I've seen them before, but I wouldn't be aware of what I'm looking at

Here's a picture with a tape measure, and here's one with a coin (which I suppose only helps if you recognise and know the size of that coin ), looking for those I notice the branding for this scale is 'Collectible Animals', where the one you've got is 'Treasured Horses', and there's yet another range called 'FarmCountry' which does include some horses too. So Ertl is a very varied brand.

thank you George for the 2 links, I think I've seen this style around actually.
These smaller ones look like they must be made out of a solid pvc/softer plastic? rather than my ERTL which is like a barbie style hard plastic hollow horse ?

I painted some Mongolian Wild Horses - 2 Britains zebras are a nice base for them. One is tailless and has some speckles
and I painted a tiger family, using Britains tigers and a lion cub pair.

Wonderful Britains wild mongolian horses and tigers!

Very good idea transforming Britains zebras into Przewalski's horses! Oh, I really love your tigers. I could spend a lot of time watching these pictures.

Wonderful repaints!!!!!
