Horse breeds suggestions?

I thought that if Collecta is going to listen to our suggestions about wildlife species they could make in future, then maybe we, the horselovers, could write also some suggestions about horse breeds we would like to get from them

My suggestions:
- new Haflinger
- Fjord
- Icelandic
- Highland
- Marwari (pretty please?)
- Black Forest (Schwarzwalder Fuchs)
- Criollo *click* (with mane clipped like that )
- Kladruber (with prominent convex profile)
- Cleveland Bay
- Akhal-Teke
- Tinker (Irish Cob / Gypsy Vanner) (very hairy)
- Shire or Clydesdale
- Ardennes (possibly with long mane and tail)
- Exmoor
- Norman Cob
- Alter Real
- Pura Raza Menorquina

A lot, I know
If only they made at least some of these. Personally I would be very happy if they were made by Deborah McDermott, her horses are just great :)

how awesome would that be?! Her work is amazing.

That's an excellent list there and I agree with all of your choices Magda! I just love exmoor ponies
Suffolk Punch - they're beautiful, I think we need some more heavy horses

I would love to see the following:

American Cream Draft Horse
Rocky Mountain Horse
Colorado Ranger Horse
Paso Fino
Pony of the Americas
Morgan
Gypsy Vanner

You don't want black Fell Pony?

I knew I forgot something - I'd love to have Fell Pony and Suffolk Punch by Mrs McDermott too :) The more various breeds, the better

Yes, that would be lovely too! I see them a lot where I live

Gelderlander !

And a mule and a Mammuth Jack
... not horses ?
Ohhh, but a little horsey, aren`t they

Exmoore, exmooore, yes and Fell - and Dale also, those two belong to each other

I would like a Mongolean horse also, preferable a roan

- or perhaps this would be a job for the new designer at Bullyland ?

Susanne, Mrs Eberl designed only a special model (El Santo NRW) for Bullyland, as far as I know she's not their new designer. Besides, personally I prefer Collecta to Bullyland in terms of realisation - I've seen some serious flaws in rubber El Santo which I didn't find in his resin version - deformed hoof, weird-looking "stumpy" head which doesn't really resemble the nicely shaped head of real Ernie
And I don't like their other horses, they have too much flaws to point out

I know, - I was thinking about the falconeer

Ah, I didn't get it then

No sweat

The eternal problem of understanding when not speaking directly to each other, - telephone talking is easier, talking face to face the best. And still people misunderstand each other...

But never mind !
Isn`t it great how our plastic fiigueres can make us : people from all over the world, different ages and both sexes - have so much fun together

Some Spanish breeds:

Hispanobretón (I supose the name in English could be Spanish-Belgian or something like that)
Asturcón
Menorquín
Mallorquín
Jaca Navarra
Spanish Sport Horse (Caballo de Deporte Español)

And now some "foreigner" breeds (foreigner for me!):
Marwary!
Don
Furioso North Star
Oldembourgh
Hackney
Brumby
Waler
Azteca
Tarpán
Sorraia

Ohh, yes ! Hackney !!!!!
Nobody ever made this beautyful carriage horse with the unbeleiveable movements

For those who may not know the breed ( and for others, of course) here is one shown in slow motion

More fabulous choices, you see I'm rubbish at horse breeds, you lot know so many. A Brumby would be lovely and a Tarpan!

Here are my suggestions, horsegirls, if anything is wrong please forgive me! :)

Kathiawari
Gypsy Cob
Brumby
Alter Real
Mangalarga Marchador

Wow, Roger, you found some very interesting horses.
The Kathiawari with funny ears and head like old chinese horse, - that one would REALLY be a new one

Thank you horsegirl!
I'm glad you liked them, of course the ALter Real and Marchador were regional choices!
The Gypsy Cob I chosed because I'm sure my niece would love it! The other two are pure Crocobert choices!

Kathiawari is very similar to Marwari (hah! I've mentioned it first ). In fact I still don't know what is the difference between those two except for the region of India they come from. Personally I have a feeling that Marwari is more popular - at least it's much easier to find information and good-quality photos of this breed.

Well, being similar is not a problem since many breeds are related and similar! Anyway don't worry because CollectA will not make any of them!
How many are related to Arabians or PRE's???
Another thing important is that brands search tendences, we don't have necessarly to say different breeds! If everybody was saying Mangalarga and if CollectA was hearing us certainly they will think that Mangalargas were very wanted!!!

Don't take my hope away Well, that'a just my dreamlist, so to speak. I'd be happy if Collecta made any of them, but I won't be broken-hearted if they won't. That's why we have customization!

But I really wish they made some (whichever) draft breeds and ponies/small horses - variety is a good thing :)

Let's see what they will ask Deborah to make! One point is sure, if they continue with the partnership with Deborah next horses will be as nice as the last ones! 2012 will be a surprise year in horses world replicas, I'm sure!
Good luck with your choices! :)

I really hope they will continue partnership with Mrs McDermott, their horses are still gaining popularity, justly, I think - IMHO they are the best horse replicas in this scale and category :)

EDIT: I wouldn't mind a Miniature horse too
