Schleich!
Ha ha you are stronger than me then...I dont have much space left but it isn't slowing me down lol. The only thing that slows me down is money lol. Certainly not my will power! Too bad though, i'd love to have another collector in here! I wish i had lots of stores around me with them available!
"my beautiful horses"...never heard of them! Might have to utilize google.

Famousamos, I also don’t know how a managed to pull it of! I probably cost around 500 dollars, and since most of the stuff was online shopping, I still have more that’s coming! My favorite horses that I got are the retired Andalusian stallion and the retired mare. I got so much that I had to rearrange my room and I’m getting a bookshelf for all of it!

Click to display Its the Breyer by CollectA Skewbald Mare With Terrier! I didn't like the small picture quite as much so i will include the bigger one in another spoiler for those that want to see it. I find this pair adorable! |
I know, right?! Now i hope they make one with a kitty companion!

And another question - is schleich the same size as collectA?

And another question - is schleich the same size as collectA? They are similar, yes, but i think CollectA horses are a little bigger. Welp, i took a weekend trip and came up pretty empty as far as new Schleich and CollectA, after checking multiple stores, but i did manage to score this handsome fella! Click to display I got ahold of a traditional Breyer, who is the Limited Edition Livingston! Its on the American Saddlebred Mold, and was just released this year. I cannot seem to find just how many have been made, but i chose him over two or three others i really liked as well because he is a limited edition. Interesting fact...Breyer made a typo on his box (on all of them). One part of the box says 2021 Flagship Dealer Special, while another part of the box says 2020 Flagship Dealer Special, with both on the front lol. Anyway, just as i do with them all, i am keeping him in his box, and them both in tip top condition, as best as i can. :I like to retain their looks and value.
|
Actually leaving a Breyer in a box can also be bad for the model the colors of the box could transfer to his white
Also I love him may I ask what store he was found at
|
Ooh he is really gorgeous
|
What do yall use for bedding in the stalls and arenas
|
Arenas the best thing to use is sand and stalls I use wood shavings from my mom she uses a sander with a bag to catch the dust while she makes furniture so I just use the stuff out of the bag this can also be used for arenas if sand isn’t available

Actually leaving a Breyer in a box can also be bad for the model the colors of the box could transfer to his white Also I love him may I ask what store he was found at I guess i'm counting on the risk being higher for damage, etc. if i don't leave it in the box. I've heard this possibility being mentioned before, but don't really know anything about it. Plus, i believe it is more valuable in the original packaging, like most things. Fingers crossed nothing like that happens to them in the box! Hmmm, i'm not too keen on putting a specific location online, since it wasn't a big box chain store. I got it in a rather busy Five and Dime in Midwest America. He was the only one i saw on their shelves though! I'm still a little sore that i couldn't get the two or three other beauties i saw before i saw him, and really wanted lol.
|
Oh that’s fine I’m sure I’d be able to find him somewhere in a town where my family friends live the got a bunch of those kinds of stores
|
Thank you for the tip lolalove
|
anytime

If you guys could choose any schleich or Breyer horse which one would you pick?

If you guys could choose any schleich or Breyer horse which one would you pick? I can't say i'm familiar with all the Schleich horses ever made, and certainly not Breyer, which i know of very few of, but i would LOVE to get ahold of this Schleich horse! Click to display I dont know a lot about it, but my understanding is it was a special edition White Friesian, and is very hard to find. I'm not sure of the year.

@Splash16
I would have to pick Breyer but schelich will always hold a special place in my heart as my first model horses but now I’ve graduated to Breyer models as I like the size, realism, and they are easier to make tack for. To me schelich’s horses have gone down in quality and the horses just aren’t as real looking anymore @FamousAmos I love that Friesan! He is gorgeous never knew that one was made!

@Splash16
I would have to pick schleich! If I had to choose I would pick either the exclusive white freisian stallion, the retired Hanoverian mare, or any of the fjords |
If you guys could choose any schleich or Breyer horse which one would you pick? schleich tough i do agree that their overall quality has gone down significantly the past few years i do have 2 stablemates and id love to get a cool lookin traditional. but breyer is really expencive and really hard to find here in the netherlands. Click to display I dont know a lot about it, but my understanding is it was a special edition White Friesian, and is very hard to find. I'm not sure of the year. released in 2013 product number 82867 he was released by a german model horse website modellpferdeversand Limited to 5000 and should come with a certificate of authenticity. the satchmo model is also from this website

I do actually have a signed Satchmo with Certificate. @Famousamos I've actually got that model! I bought him directly from modellpferdeversand back when they still had him in stock I'm very green here lol...i had just barely started collecting in 2013 and was oblivious to this event. I was pretty much still just discovering Schleich and only shopping local at the time, which is very slim picking. If only i'd known!
