I've collected almost every single one of the pigs and piglets. Then I'm going to start on collecting the horses! I have a few already.

By the way, I'm also a pig lover, if you can't tell already. default smiley (lol)

default smiley (lol) Talk to doug07, they show pigs default smiley xd. My stable is a stable not a farm, so I have horses, two dogs, and a donkey foal.

I'm try to look for tack shops on YouTube. My mom would never let me buy anything but it's fun to see others skills, and sometimes they inspire me with ideas. Sometimes they discourage me, when I know I'll never get that good even for a breyer where it's easier because its bigger xd

Wow. Can't even type a proper smiley face! I meant: default smiley xd

I had my horsey friend over and we did a big giant photoshoot with her new Clydesdale and Knabstupper stallions, and my Dartmoor mare and Andalusian stallion. We dropped my mare like 4 ft on stones and I thought she wasn't scratched too much but I found out while cleaning them off that the back of her right hind hoof got smashed a bit flatter than its supposed to be, and she now has a small white paintless spot on her tail from where I tried to get off a spot that I thought was dirt (it was a half scratch). But we got tons of super artsy photos!

I used to play with my Schleich outside when I was younger, and take photos of them. I have dropped several of them, with varying degrees of consequence. For some reason, one time, (aged like eight) I decided to take some Schleich on holiday and one of them (the Percheron mare?) fell out the car door. She wasn't scratched or anything, but I was definitely more careful after that. However, I still have no idea how my grey Mustang stallion (the rearing one) managed to crack his ear. I must have dropped him on his head, but I don't know how or when. I would get him out and take a photo of the crack for you, but I packed all my Schleich up when I was repainting my room and I haven't got them back out yet.

Oooh. That's sad. Although you can remake them. I believe there's an article about fixing ears somewhere on the Breyer site!
By Retired breeder, 10th May 2015 11:36:59
Thanks for all the compliments about the repaint.

My hot walker is now off.



And also my tackroom!




(I now use a translation site on the internet. That to me is somewhat easier. The grammar can therefore not always be correct.)

Those are awesome! OMG you have the bay Andalusian?!
By Retired breeder, 10th May 2015 11:44:26
No that is a repaint.
I didn't even know that existed default smiley xd
By Retired breeder, 10th May 2015 11:45:16
Do you have a picture of that horse?
By Retired breeder, 10th May 2015 11:54:05
Ooooohhhhh ok! Yeah I didn't realize it had socks. I don't think the real one does, I think it's just a plaint bay, maybe a little bit darker than that. No sorry I can't post pics try googling it!
Recently, I counted, and I have 6 sets, 25+ horse models, and 4 people, and a fairy from them! default smiley *-)

Yeah I was gonna say that there is no bay Andalusian that I know of. I've got the real one, as well as that Clydesdale in the second pic. I also have her foal, so cute!default smiley (l)

My old barn has sliding doors where you pull up on the bar in the door that's closest to the wall, if that makes sense, and I actually have an idea for making that... Cereal boxes, cut em into strips, punch a matching hole in one end if all of them, stack them up, add one more to the bottom with no hole, so it makes kind of a tiny paperboard cup holder, make a stall door with a lip of paperboard at the top, put bars made of coffee stirs on the lip to the top, for the one closest to the wall, put on a piece of skewer, then punch a hole beneath it, slide a coffee straw up through the hole onto the stir, then put a wire hinge on the end of the cardboard stack that doesn't have the cup holder, glue it to the wall, making sure it lines up with the end of the stir. When down, the stir should sit in the cup holder with a cupholder depth height of skewer showing. When lifted, it should be able to clear the edges of the cup holder, so you can slide the door back on a Popsicle stick track that you apparently made a while back, then fold the cup holder price down so the horse can get through the door without scraping itself. Does that make ANY sense?! default smiley xd

No there IS a bay Andalusian, it's an exclusive.
I hope to do a barn tour soon but today we are going to make my arena! If you subscribed to me on you tube the latest thing from me is a Lose Yourself lyric video!

What English saddle has that darker grey like saddle pad? Did it come from a set or something?

I think it's from the leisure rider set, with the palomino
By Retired breeder, 10th May 2015 15:23:07
I'm working on making a circus outfit for my Andalusian stallion! I have most of the pieces ready and after I get home I'll assemble I think!

Nope because the pad for this one is fitted. The one I'm talking about is like the tournament saddle but darker.
