My Safari Ltd equines

These are my Safari horses.
I like the Safari moulds more than the Schleich ones, though the way they are painted usually makes me cry.

The mane/tail of a large Selle Francaise mare are a bit customized (by myself) - they used to be of the same colour as the body, but I decided to add some contrast.

Ohhh, sob !

I can`t see them either
What can be done ? How do you insert the URLs of the pictures ?
Perhaps somebody can help ....

I think it's because you're using Laughing Giraffe upload - it won't work on this forum

Yes, unfortunately I have some problems with downloading files here.
I'll try to find some other loader and share the photos with you)

Hope now the pics are visible)

Now I can see them

WONDERFUL horses, wow !

That customized Andalusian is just beyond anything I have ever seen
Gorgeous, fabulous,wonderful, lovely, gosh!!!!!!!!

And of course the super-tölting Icey. That one is a masterpiece

Yippee! Great you got all the pictures working now I love your customs, they are lovely

The black shire and the arabian(with yellow flowers) really look nice!

Susanne
Glad you liked him)
The Icey is very, very nice. I like this horse breed and hope more brands have his figurines.

HKHollinstone
Oh yes,it's great that everything's working now.
Thanks)

They are very detailed, you're right.

Nice collection :)
I like Safari horses more than Schleich ones too. I have almost all of them on my wishlist
Is it just me, or Shire is a bit too small comparing to Percheron? Is it also smaller than Clydesdales?

The horse to the left(Horse with arched neck) of the Friesian, is very nice as well!

Nice collection! It´s true that some Safari horses are really great, but others are not good from my point of view. Anyway they are difficult for me to find, so I will keepe collecting Schleich and buying only those Safari I really like (if I found them!)

Mangalarga
Yes, he's smaller than an average draft horse((

baltimore zoo
It's the morgan mare. She's really awesome.

SyLoBe
Well, I have new Safari moulds. the only old mould I have is the black Arabian mare. She's rather plain. I also prefer the new ones.

Beautiful horses, Daria!
I'm glad you've found a way to show them!
In these last years the quality of horses is improving in Safari and CollectA and, even Schleich are also very nice they are loosing something, maybe the bored poses compared with previous figures! Anyway it is a series that is being taking seriously for the brands! :)

Quite agree with you. Especially about the Schleich ones. However, there are still some interesting equine figurines by Schleich. As for Collecta- well, onle those that are sculpted by Deborah McDermott. The other new horses (like the clydesdale mares, ponies, etc.) are still plain and boring.

Today my other dream came true!:)
I got two 2011 mares- Abaco barb and Appaloosa.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
The first one, Abaco barb mare,sees to be my favourite among all the safari equines now. She's so sweet!
And her color... Well, I have some doubts about her pinto pattern. Her eyes and hoofs color, and her nose and skin around her eyes- I have a strong feeling that she's genetically dominant white.

The Appaloosa mare is also very cute. The only thing I dislike about her- her legs. They seem to be too thick.

They are beautyful !

I must see if I can find that Barb mare
She is gorgeous

My knowledge about the colours that are not found in Iceys , is very limited.
Why would she be dominant white
To me she looks like a tobiano with a lot of white, - perhaps homozygote tobiano ?

Tobianos, even homozygous, can't have white face unless combined with another pinto pattern.
I'd go for splash white with her. But then, splash would most likely have blue eyes if surrounded by white...
Looking at the case of Sato, she could be a DW

They are available from the Utterly horses, f.ex.

BTW, never seen a DW Icey))

I think that she's white because of the color of her eyes (they are dark like nuts), her nose (light pink) and skin around eyes (pink as well). If this horse is a pinto one, her eyes should have been blue in that case. But they are dark. This is an indication of a DW color. This horse may be pinto in phenotype, but genetically it's DW, I think:)

Mangalarga
Yes, that's what I really mean))

That is because they don`t exist

About white face, yes, there might be some splashed - I had this gelding, Faxi :

Faxi`s dad was a black stallion. I knew the stallion for many years, he had absolutely NO "funny" genes.
But Faxi`s mom. Mikla, had a completely white face and one dark, one blue eye, so it does exist .
Of course I don`t have a picture, and old Mikla died several years ago

Congrats for your new horses, Daria! :)
I only know that they have 4 legs, a mane, a tail and are beautiful! :)

Well, dominant white causes a pattern similar to sabino, with undefined edges... This mare has very well defined edges in her pinto markings...

After all, the colour of majority of factory painted horses is doubtful in terms of realism. That's why I love the idea of customising

Me too! Searching for info about dominant white horses that are not 100% white I´ve found some interesting paterns I want to do :) I "only" have 2 more months of study... Then I will be able to paint! :)

SyLoBe
Well, I've heard about the pattern's edges, but I still have some doubts because of the eyes color (and the pink skin around dark eyes).
Looked through some pics of pinto horses with white heads, and haven't noticed such thing.((
