Awesome! I love the the shire stallion and tinker foal too! So, who wishes Schleich would take in a professional rider and have them make their own line? I wish that they would a Charlotte Dujardin, so spelled that wrong!, and have her make a dressage line!

Aaaaaaahhhhh the pro riders I'd enjoy.... Charlie Green most definitely, and Casey Wright for sure!!! They could make really realistic TWH models, tack, accessories, and all the other good stuff like that......

Hi! Welcome to the group! I have 102, they are fun, aren't they! Can we call you shadow?



Yes sure you can call me shadow my favourite schleich horse is the tinker mare ( the newest one )

Skeeter, don't feel too bad. When I was around 3 I named a quarter horse Quarter, and I was probably 5 when I named my Welsh pony Welch... Oh and I have an American girl sized black horse who I named Blackie. I was probably like 4.

Sophie, YAS! I was watching brave last night, and I thought, that shire stallion/gelding looks a whole lot like the Schleich shire stallion... It ALMOST made me want to get the Schleich one, but he's rubbery and I'm picky about texture

I named my Haflinger mare Amazon Lily, or Lil. Actually with a couple of tiny hoof touch-ups she's PSQ.... Maybe possibly my mom would let me show her in IMEHA.... And some others, too, of course . It's awesome because my mom is slowly standing to understand the hobby and just let me be. I mean, she let me pay $35 for two horses and some other stuff! (Advent calendar)

The Icelandic stallion tölting also has that texture

Oh! I want her sooo bad! I only have the foal, but she is a stunner!


Talking about bad textures, the exclusive trahkhener mare, when she comes with the stable, she feels like sandpaper! Not kidding! Oh, and yes the icey stallion also is rubbery.

Ew I hate it when I'm painting a horse and it's not mod podged yet, acrylic paint texture is awful

I have over 120 horses some of them are exclusives. I have the exclusive hanoverian mare and stallion and the exclusive trakhner family.

im getting a new barn for Christmas SO EXCITED

I am customizing two old papos into bays, but I'm still trying to make the black points look good

Awesome! I really want their super pinto! But paying 500 dollars is not what I want!

Okay, it's official guys. I'm getting the 2014 stable for Christmas. My mom kind of looked at me like, "This is on your list??" but she should know by now that I love my plastic ponies. XD
How do I know this? I may or may not have snooped in my parent's email and saw an email from Amazon regarding a "Schleich Horse Stable". That's what they get for leaving it wide open on the computer screen when I walk by. XD

Yea I know right.

I have the tinker mare , stallion and foal they are all so cute and Omg I also have the mini shetty foal!!!! She is the most cutest foal she is way smaller than some of the schleich dogs but she is stilll cute

Vio, take a sponge (a makeup sponge works best, if not get a craft sponge, I don't think a dish or car sponge would work too well) and paint a stripe of brown and a stripe of black RIGHT next to each other, maybe even overlap them. Then line them up beside the leg (brown goes above brown, black goes above black, right at the top of the black sock) and just dab, maybe move around just the tiniest bit while dabbing and that's the best way I've yet found to hand paint a gradient in acrylics. Also I think if you paint the black and the brown's last coat at the same time, having both wet will help to blend. I THINK.

I got two more yesterday!! The new Tinker Stallion and Foal. I already had the old 'family' and new mare.
I'll be getting more for Christmas, I believe.

Oh and happy thanksgiving to my USA Schleich friends

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Skeeter, that is exactly how I found out my presents last year!

Is anyone else's barn decorated for fall? mine is! you can see it in my November barn tour if you want. yay Thanksgiving!!

Not yet! But I hope to use cotton as snow once is snows just a tad more here.

Mine isn't even assembled yet. I need to put together the doors, then put the on with the hinges and latches, replace the stall bars, THEN I'll probably decorate for Christmas

Ya, I take little pieces of fir from our Christmas trees, make a circle, glue on a ribbon, and they make perfect wreaths!

Oh wait. I forgot. I have to pull down my mini posters, put hooks on the walls, and line the outside with Popsicle sticks. THEN I might be done.

Oh, fun! I should make another tack room since I threw my cardboard one away since it was worn from so many years of play!
