Although, it makes me crazy sometimes, as there is even more to collect...

You are SO right

Then you understand what i mean, haha...

With help from MPV I got hold of some more variants of Papo horses

Here are no less than 3 variants of the Bretons. I think they are wonderful

The first one, the dark one with Smooth fur, was somewhat different from the later versions. I think is the nicest one

The bay foal here was first an Arab foal, - then the balck one came, and they were both Lusitanians

Tvo variants of the Percheron. Unfortunately I have not been able to find the old variant of the foal

And here the French Saddlehorse :

Now I am searching for a horse with white blaze, like the one Harriet has, - it seems to be very hard to find

You finally found the variant, congratulations Susanne! And you found a third variation too

Yes, isn`t it great ?

But I cliked "Send" too fast, I had more pictures. Now they should all be there

Oh! More pics!!

You could ask this seller if the horse is like my one [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I did ask him and he was kind enough to check, - the horse has a brown blaze

Congratulations Susanne! It's incredible the serious way you are collecting Papo horses! Finding variations and studying hardly what Papo did. I'm sure you are collecting figures that even Papo doesn't know they exist. So the Lusitano was an Arabian before? Nothing strange in the History of this country!
I see you are very happy and MPV is surely also happy!

Thankyou, Roger

Yes, I think MPV is also very happy, - they got rid of some old stuff - horses, a fox etc

My Breton is the smoth one, and look, also the mane is different. I also think this version is the best.

Good luck with your white blazed horsey!

Thankyou, Silvia

Hey
I forgot these, - the Lusitanian 51066 from 2006 and `7.
Funny thing is that I can`t find the one with dark mane/tail in the catalogues
Perhaps somebody else can ?

Did they make a new lusitanian?

You can also ask Wonderland models if this horse is like my one [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Yes, - the white one 51113 was retired this year.
Last year came a black version, - it is now there instead.

Here the white one to the right

That is the colour in all the catalogues, yes
None of them have dark mane/tail, as far as I can see

Thanks for all your trouble and kindness, Harriet !

Yes, our special, private and cherished Hoogle

Roger, I did not forget them , I forgot the picture

Wow, that are a lot of different horse-variations in Papo!
That will not be easy for anybody to collect them all, specially not, when they are changing the painting every few years...

Yes, the lady in MPV complained about that also, and not only the horses

But what makes it almost impossible is that used ones are rarely on Ebay, and the professionels show standard-pictures, which more often than not doesn`t show what the figuere actually looks like

It takes immense stubbornness to find out what their figueres actually look like, - even a simple question like : "Does you Papo Arab horse no. 51007 ( the one on this picture) have a white blaze ( like your picture) or a light brown blaze ?" makes them completely confused, and it takes days or weeks and lots of mails for them to decide that, "- yes, it is light brown...as far as I can see"
