They are GREAT

I really, really love the heavy, bay one

Nice horses!!

Those are so cool! The heavy is my favorite too.

And whoa, I spy a Beswick wannabe! Check out that big bay compared with this...

Here is another AAA horse with Schleich companion

Those two look like they are really fine friends, - I love them both

I completely forgot about this topic...

I love all the horses, the grazing one is just beautiful! Thank you all!

Oh! This is the first time I see this thread! Very nice horse from AAA!

Please don’t mind the dust (or scratches), they have been lying in boxes full of toys for some years before they got a new home in my bookshelf. And sorry for the bad lightning.

Does anybody know which brand these belong to? I have found the drafts on the forum, but can't remember where, but I have not seen the other three. I know there is at least one more, a dabble gray that one of my childhood friends owned (before a puppy found it). I used some Schleich horses for size comparison. It's not anything at all written one the belly of the draft horses.

Aren`t they from AAA ?

I'm sorry, I did not know that the symbol (AAA) was a brand. I believed there always was some kind of name, not just three letters in a circle. You don't happen do have any pictures of some other horses or these owned by somebody else?

Great catch

Those are great horses! Congrats.

I have only two horse models : here [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and here : [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] .
WOW! Now I have something to be looking for

Yes, that is the mark of AAA. The old Schleich and Bullylands made by AAA also have that mark, while E.L.C has their own brand stamped on the AAA-models thay sell ( sold?)

Widukind/Saarloosewolfhound: I found them in a toy shop many years ago then I was younger and still did not collect. Just to bad I didn’t get the gray one :)

Susanne: Thanks for the information and the pictures. Mine seems to be newer than yours. But there is no year written on them, so I don’t know. You have not seen the draft horses? They are not from the same brand as the other horses.

I’m still new to all the brands and names, so AAA have owned parts of Schleich and Bullyland? Do they have both brands written on them then?

No, Schleich and Bullyland sold the AAA models like if they were their own.

You can see examples here [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] , there are AAAs on pages 27, 30 and 31 ( sea animals ). You can also see a lot of Safari animals, that Schleich sold at that time. None were marked Schleich.

From page 18 to 25 you can see the AAAs that Bullyland sold in 1992 [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
There are more, - Yvette has a catalogue that shows a lot more AAAs sold by Bullyland.

For both I think it was a question of the cheapest way to expand their range quickly. Both had been makiing smurfs and comics and un-realistic, little toy-animals ( Schleich bendies, too), and getting the models from other manufacturers was cheap and quick
Both also sold soft plush-models from other brands at some time.

Oh, I never though about that they could sell any models by other brands. But I can see the point of doing it. Thanks again :)

What brand are the two in the second to last picture? They look familiar but I cant remember...

I found this guy in a box of old toys.

He's not the best model horse in the world, but not the worst, either. There is some paint loss on his mane, and it looks like original plastic color is brown.

He is lovely ! So much charm !!!
And he must be a very rare AAA-model. ! I have never seen him before  

I never knew that AAA made horses, so I was surprised to find him. I don't remember him at all, so I have no idea where he came from.

I remember a Yolanda horse marked AAA, it was probably an Arabian, I can't be sure. But as you say, not the best but interesting enough. Thanks for sharing and congratulations for finding it.
