Love Aurelius I have to show mine more often, he never makes it into the string for some reason

I always thought he would work nicely in performance. I can hardly make bridles for myself thought and there no competitions close to me anyway.
What breed do you show him as? He might work as an azteca horse *hint hint*

Yeah, those rearing ones do look good together. Sadly the dapple grey had to shift shelves as it got to crowded for the moment.

Oh yes, he would look great in performance! Lindy Pinkham made a circus costume for her Orion, he looks awesome

I've been showing him as Cayuse Indian Horse with documentation but he just isn't pinning. My Two Step is NANd as an Azteca and there have been a lot of Desatados scoring NAN cards as Aztecas lately so I was thinking of changing the breed. You've convinced me to finally do it - thank you!

You should come to the US and show with me

I'd love to come, but not for a couple of years at least. I hope to go to BF at least once in my life. And just generally visit USA

I have some more horses to share. And still more after that. Someday. Someday.

Let's start with this horsie, from Denmark (and originally from you LeeAnn)
Simba. Oh, how I wish they had given him a long tail. But that is always my complain when it comes to short tailed horses.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Bluegrass Bandit. The only one colour I like on this mold. His face is rather cartoony, but I really like his body and ears.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
GG Valentine in matte. It was hard choosing if I wanted glossy or not.
Heartbreaker did not end up in the photo because I don't really care much for him.
On top of it he is soooo wobbly. I have to use coins under two of his hooves to keep him standing straight and not fall over.
I think this is actually a really nice mold, I wish they release her alone in more colours as a RR.
Maybe as a buckskin or palomino (I really like cream dilutes...)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Cosette, Mariah and a tiny little foal from a foal set. He was intended for sale. And then he arrived.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Peter Stone Poppet OOAK
It has both a snip and a star. Best combo ever.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And now to the best thing ever.

Peter Stone Nature's Wonder OOAK.    

Also from darling.  I got it several months ago. I originally wanted the one with blue flowers, but got outbid.
So I settled with this one. And now I actually think it gives more balance to the overall appearance.

Congratulations

I have looked through this whole thread now, and really admired every single one of your horses! They are gorgeous! I have never seen a Breyer horse in real life before, don't know if one can get them in Norway?

Hey, those last two aren't Breyers!! LOVE that dapple grey!

Congrats! Haha, Simba is a world traveler!

Thank you, nice to know you appreciated them.
I know you can get them in Sweden, Denmark and Finland. So might be possible in Norway. They are far more pricier in Sweden than in other countries.
So I often buy my models from Germany or Britain. Sometimes I find things in Sweden from private persons and sometimes I find things from other countries, like from people here on STS or just by random change.
I have a few things from USA, but not only are the shipping expensive, I have often of late been required to pay custom fees which are very, very expensive    
And ebay have even started to demand their own custom fees that are not the same as the ones in Sweden. So there's that

Well... uhhh... yes... I was very confused in the beginning trying to decide what my topics where and so on... and I'm apparently not a very well-organized person. Now I just wished this one was in a more general area. I'm going to continue posting Peter Stone, Copperfox and other alike brand's here anyway. I think they are more alike each other than they are to Schleich, Papo, Mojö etc.

Yeah, Denmark is however not too far away from me.

On other... very late notes.

Look what darling got me for Christmas. Couldn't even wait until evening. I pretty much got it shoved in my face as I woke up.
It was covered in tinfoil under the wrapping paper. Do you get it? Tin-Foil. Foiled Again. Apparently that was the reason this horse was bought.
I honestly like this mold, is has such nice colouring with some white markings. The yellow halter really pops and is just my kind of hideous.
The mold even have the freeze branding at the neck. So neat!  
Just so bad it's passing instead of trotting. Have any of you ever ridden in it though? It's really fun. The owner to the horse I rode went angry every time the horse did it.
So I was not allowed to do so more than a few steps it took for him to go over to the trot.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And look what I found! A sugarbush draft named Harley's Classic O from Peter Stone. For a great deal too in nice shape. Better than most things I conquered.
But as usual, to bad it was not a long tail version.
This is a huge model by the way.
One day I hope to own a custom sculpted and/or painted model that's more realistic to the real horse, with a long tail!
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And Pink Magnus is just so fun having standing beside the big horses. Such size differences in the same scale.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Here is the real horse.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Aaaand my own Christmas present to myself. Another Peter Stone, Neptune. Kind of like a consolation price for not being able to buy the prettier ones I find on USA Evilbay.
Black roan was my favorite colour a couple of years ago, now I often just look past it.
I got this anyway with the mind I might regret not buying it, and I might start to love black roans again someday.
And it have a snip and a star  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And here is my Breyer classic morgan conga as it stands now.
Anybody seeing something new? Maybe you recognise it. Dark Pegasus painted the grey horse. And I bought the far right one from LeeAnn.
I waited posting it because I wanted to buy the light grey horse that comes with a pink blanket and a dog.
But having a hard time deciding what to buy first and being poor sparing I have yet to actually do it.
I also get other things first, like the black roan. So yeah.
My darling had the bad taste of pointing out the noodle forleg of my conga. So now, it, can't, be, unseen.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

On yet other notes. Darling don't care for horses and horse-like things. But yet look what poked out of darlings Christmas haul.
No it was not me giving away this beauty. I'm not that tasteless  
I know, I know. Princess don't fit into this topic. But I needed some kind of size chart. Miss Tutu Zebra totally belongs with the other fancies, right?
And I haven't taken photos of Princess and her same scale mates yet.

Beautiful horses all of them, all so different
I agree Foiled Again is a lovely boy I just received him the mail yesterday and I think he has a gorgeous, alert face

And that Neptune.... well what I can say he is STUNNING a great looking boy even if he is only a consolation prize  ! I love the one next to him also who is he?

Congratz on the new ones
Bautifull pictures again.
Great horses to see
Like to watch your comments to :)

Haha that's okay You can change the name of the topic to match better if you want, or I can do it for you

I loved Neptune since he was released. Never got around to buying him though.

I have a Classic Morgan body sitting here, I started painting it bay but I don't think it's going to work out. Maybe you'd be interested in having her painted?

The arabian's name is Twist and is also from Peter Stone.

Thank you, I just don't know what to actually name it. Since it's not just traditional scale. Maybe I should just morf all my additions topics into one.
Making me and everyone else confused along the way. Or just create a new one, "TheSpottedCat's Collection" and continue posting all things there with links back to the old topics.

Now now, if I'm to have tons of custom horses the conga will literary never end  
But very tempting, can I choose a new colour? Seeing as the bay's not working out.

What's wrong with a never-ending conga?

Sure, if you want to pick a different color or I can strip her and redo the bay that's fine too

Wow that are a lot of beautiful new horses Especially like Classic O

Princess indeed hangs out with the flashy types

Great additions :)

I'm so sorry for just disappearing. Things have been so busy.

It's not wrong. But I live in a very small apartment and can't fit everything in. I still have a bit of room left.
But the horses are fighting for room with a ton of books too. But it seems no one wants to buy anything I ever try to sell.
At least not much of it. I guess I should just give it away to my niece who likes model horses. But it's hard when she only have one birthday and one Christmas.
I already give her to many things. Like books.

But I will send you a note.

And would you mind changing this topic into "TheSpottedCat's Collection" and put it into the collections forum?
Thank you.

Of course, she's like the unliked mascot or something.

Sorry if it's a stupid question, but what is conga?

Conga is when one collects duplicates of the same mold several times, either in the same colours, in variations, or in separate colours.
Sometimes even with different body parts, like different manes and tails or even headsets or legs.

Here is an example just for fun.

I have several new border collies in different kind of scales. Two from Breyer, the biggest and the smallest, and one from Schleich. It was supposed to the other colour on the smallest collie, but the picture from the site was the wrong picture.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
I also have my first corgi from the Pet Groomer Set (61024), just like the cat. I kind of call him caramel, because it looks like the a sort of caramel candy you can find in Swedish stores.
His eyes are not the best thought, and I'm looking if I can find the corgi from the Classics Animal Rescue Set (61036).
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
I finally have this adorable foal. I really like the lying down foal, and I'm planing to try conga it. I have wanted to have the red roan one for a long time.
And it really fits nicely with my roan quarter horse too. And the cats are sooo tiny. I'm afraid to drop them on the floor and never find them again.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
I also have this new palomino. It's so pretty and dark.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
New big Breyer cat in comparison with New-Rey cat and tiny stablemate cat.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
I was not supposed to get the peruvian paso. But I gave in after what felt like to much complications with the seller.
It's actually very nice in colours, so shiny. It fits great with my paso fino.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
But are the leg really supposed to stretche out this much to the side?
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I have to go now, but will try post more of the new and "new" things soon.

Very beautiful pictures with wonderful figures and comparisons! I love especially the Stable Mate World.

Congratulations

Lovely models, congrats! I'd like to get the red roan foal and the kitties for myself eventually.

Your Paso's leg is supposed to be like that Real Pasos throw their legs out to the side when they walk, it's a characteristic of the breed. If you look up some videos of Pasos you can see it

Yay! Border Collies

All are fantastic of course
Really like, just as Roger, the smaller scale cats and the foal is cute!

I have found I really like collecting so tiny animals, to bad there are not too many of them from Breyer.

Yeah, I figured. I just think it looks weird.

I was thinking of you all the way I don't really like real life border collies, they just feel so stressed and aggressive. But they are pretty to look at. And who doesn't find them interesting seeing as they are the most intelligent dog breed of all. I think one of my siblings wanted to buy one, or if was just a sheltie

---

It was the wrong horse! I wanted the appaloosa! But meh. I keep it just because it's harder to sell it.
And it's shading is rather nice irl.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Now I also have two calves. What to do with them? Idk. Maybe dream a little more of actually doing a diorama or performance entry.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Oh, look, a bigger calf.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
It's almost like I actually buy whole sets.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
I also come to the conclusion as I unpacked the horse that it is strikingly similar to the soon to be buckskin blanket Nokota Breyer horse.
So now I don't know if I need the nokota if/when it becomes available.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
This horse is btw in classic scale but the dog, cat and calf seems to be traditional if I'm not to tired or confused.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
I'm peeking at the calf with a white face that is at the moment selling with the same horse mold, but in a boring whole bay colour, and wondering if it is worth it.
I already have so many things I have yet to buy that have been retired, and therefore have their price increased on MPV. *sigh*
