Honestly I love Schiech but I have to hand it to Breyer for being my favorite

I've recently developed a love for Breyer and CollectA horses, to go along with my love for Schleich They all have nice qualities!

That's a fun little take on it My own knowledge of real horses (breed conformation and such) is very limited, or more like non existent, so i just let them tell me what breed it is ha ha. I have no space for a barn either, so mine are on a shelf...and i have a problem...i literally just filled the shelf so now i have no more room for additional Schleich horses, let alone my new CollectA and Breyer collections! But i've no plans of letting that stop me!

I have like ten schleich horses.... when I was younger, every time I went to Lancaster PA i'd get one for some reason
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ok, yeah, I literally got one yesterday in Lancaster it's a running dun horse of some unknown breed. Named it Sphinx loll.
so yeah, I have an... interesting collection, I guess? Some great coat colors & poses. I named all of them a long time ago 'cause of some trash writing I was doing at the time.

Is it this horse because its the quarterone horse stallion I don’t know the year when it was brought out, but I would love to have it too. And I am getting some new schleich tonight

Quarter I ment but my autocorrect is irritating

I can't see the pic for some reason on my tablet, but I think the quarter horse you're talking about came out this year, 2018. If I was on my computer I'd look it up. Anyway, if the year on the tummy is 17, it should be the quarter horse stallion which I love... either way, congrats!

I currently have the QH conga complete!!!

@AAFKE
Actually, yes, that's it! Which is great, because I love the Quarters. ^-^

I don't collect a lot of model horses, but I do have about 10 or 11 Schleichs. I spend most of my money on riding lessons or a new pair of riding pants so I don't have a lot of spare money for model horses, but I still think they are pretty cool. (Although the thing that confuses me is why some people would want to spend so much money on model horses when they could spend that money on a riding lesson)

I don't mean that in a mean way, I respect everyone's opinions, but that is just my opinion.

I have 40+ models or so and I ride with is 15 euros a week but my parents pay for that

I don't know of any riding stables near me. And i'll be honest...all my life, since i was a little girl, i've wanted horses, and to live on a farm. Unfortunately i never got any or got to be around them. Now that i'm grown (and feeling a bit old lol) I am a little afraid of being around them because i don't know how to read them well or even talk to them, or how they like to be petted, so i am nervous i will make a wrong move or step, and i don't want to be bitten, stepped on, or kicked. After all, they are big animals as we all know. What doesn't help matters is that all of that uncertainty makes me even more anxious (i struggle with anxiety/tension, particularly in unfamiliar situations) and i assume the animal can register that and may be more prone to "act out" or not accept me. It may sound stupid, but although i love to be near them (the closest i get is when i see them in their stalls around rodeo time at the county fair), i am also nervous to be. And still, i am never able to be around them anyway, so the next best thing is to collect. In a way, it is better than lessons anyway, financially speaking, because its not a bill come due that you have to pay. You buy what you can, when you can. If you don't have the money, you don't have to pay.

Someday, i hope to become comfortable and familiar with real horses. At least one. Until then, i will collect every model i can!

I personally kinda outgrew riding. A few rather bad experiences happened that turned me away from it.
Horses for me are more art than sports. I prefer to see them from the same level rather than from on top, between those two ears.
But then again, that is just my preference and I am not knocking anyone who liked to ride.

*likes to ride

Why can't I edit my previous post?

I love schleich and breyer!
I have recently got the Hanoverian Mare and i love her!

Guess who just ordered herself the first 2019 models. I am soon proud owner of the two new foals, the unicorn colt and the texas longhorn calf.

Nice, today I got out of my advents calendar a foal

I absolutely love how the horses and accessories have advanced over the years, but in my opinion, nothing will beat the early 2000's models!
I no longer play with them like I used to and am selling a few pieces from my collection to save up for university. However, seeing how a lot of the accessories are being quite modernised, I think I'll definitely be keeping some of the classics for my children one day!!

Sigh...still haven't seen any announcement on who is to retire this coming year.


But congrats on ordering the new ones!

I am trying to find out the retired one's as well, but for that I need to the retailers catalogue and I can't get my hands on that one for the life of me.

I might have the november or something catalogus but I don’t know if its only in dutch

No, I need the 2019 catalogue

I have about 7 schleich horses, most of them are from Bayala, but there is no doubt I have hundreds of dragon, dinosaur and wild animal (not including horses) schleich! Some of them are a little old but I'm proud of all of them!

I love Schleichs!!!!! have a whole Collection
