Gosh !
That is really something new

Is it sold in the shops, or is it a special item ?

It is not for selling in shops.

It is an merchandising product.

This stuff is getting ridiculous...what's next, Schleich salt and pepper shakers, Schleich scarves and Schleich label bottled beer?!?!

Maybe the good people at Schleich could make a few more animal figurines for next year, instead. Then again, what wouldn't I give for a Schleich-licensed toilet seat.....................

I can't understand why Schleich is making all these things? I'd like animal figures not cards!
but congrats Peter, that was a great find

I think it is not ridiculous.
Every great factory have merchandising products.
And in the past there was still many merchandising products from Schleich, like postcards, pendants, calendars and so on.
Even there was playing cards from the smurfs from Schleich.

This playing cards are with photos from the new serie world of history

I have the cards in original. But they are the same cards.

I would not mind having a set of those cards

He, he, I hope I win an elefant

Did you see the horse behind the hero who is supposed to be from the North, - it should have been an ICEY

Can any of you see which horse it is ? Or is that one of the new ones for next year

THE dun colored QH? Is there any dun colored version of the quarter horse and I didn´t know about it? O.o

Oh, wait; it seems to me that´s not a dun... It seems to be a light gray...

From my visits to England it seems to me that anything of a more or less muddy/muddeled colour is called "dun" in British English

The colour of that Quater horse surely must be "dun" in that way.
I never saw a live horse of that colour

Which one, the strawberry roan QH or the "seems-to-be-a-light-gray" one?

Strawberry roan is chestnut + roan:

And light gray is... a light variant of gray Their bodies can be nearly white and mane can keeps a dark color:

I can´t see anything dun in the horse of this card... I see it light gray:

Yes, but they don`t look like that quater, do they ?

In fact I don´t know if you mean the one on the card...

The one on the card is similar to the light gray with dark mane, maybe the mane is a bit lighter, isn´t it? :)

Ohhhhh, sorry, sorry, yes, yes, the one on the card is grey, you are SO right !
I was thinking about the one to the left here

It is an old picture, because it is too dark to make photoes now, but you know which one I mean.
Isn`t it a weird colour ?

Well Silvia I'm no pro on horse colours, to me he looked like a dun, but of course I'm probably wrong.
This is mine

I should have posted this horse and the palomino in the "Ugly Schleich" thread, I don't like the pose of either of these two

Schleich can-opener or chewing gum! Animal flavoured!

Your Quater horse looks much more like a roan, Harriet
Perhaps the colour of mine is a productíon error

Yough

I have seen both lighter and darker versions of the Quarter Horse. Perhaps they are made in different countries ?

I wonder what merchandise will show up next :)

Mine is this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sylobe/3338454884/sizes/z/in/set-72157606676705993/

None of them (Susanne´s, Harriet´s and mine) are dun. Dun horses are linebacked, even if they are roan. Susanne, could you post some pics of yours? I like how dar is it, it seems to be a red roan instead of a strawberry roan :)

Oh, and neither I like the pose of the QH or the palomino...

Yes, I will make some more pictures. But,- you won`t believe it - it is pouring rain this morning It will have to wait till later.

Of course you are right about the dorsal stripe if you are talking exact colour, but NOT IN ENGLAND
In England any brown or buckskin or even cremello or roan is a "dun". The word just means "muddeled colour" in British English .
It is used as such by people who have worked with horses all their life

This is also the main reason why the poor connemara lost almost all colours. People knew that "dun" horses could give BEC-offspring, so they avoided "real" duns as well as palominoes, smokeys and buckskins and probably other exiting colours as well
I even have a book telling that "dun" Connemaras are unhealthy and should not be used for stud!!!!!!!!

So both Harriet and you are right.

BTW, British English can be very confusing. I remember a British friend who kept talking about "the lemon" and I was totally nonplussed. But she did not mean the fruit, she meant the colour

I'm glad we're both right yes English is a confusing language It's a shame the pose is so awful on that QH, as the colour is quite unusual from Schleich - the front left leg is really strange looking, I can't imagine what the sculptor was thinking. BTW mine is made in China, what country is your's made in Susanne?
