Decline in Schleich horses

I can't wait to see them in person too! I am sure there may still be some issues with them but they ACTUALLY look like horses to me now; there is no trace of the stylized characterization that was saturating them before! My childhood horse enthusiast is waking up from slumber...

Absolutely. I find the difference between the male horses and the female horses really infuriating too. The stallions tend to look so powerful and full of movement. Then you get to the mares and most have standing, blank pose a bit too much like overgrown my little ponies. Definitely feels like they are trying to appeal to little girls when molding the mare figurines....
