Well I like the cats and the horses but the dogs are also veryyyy cute

Welcome back! Hope you stick around for a while...we need people in here lol. And i didn't realize they went by any other names lol, cool!

[quote=1936876520][author]AAFKE[/author]I sometimes have dreams about schleich[/quote:0]

Wow, ha ha, what a dream! i'm glad i'm not the only one!



Yep, i have some of those too!

Guys, guess what! I was flea market shopping today, and i found Schleich! In two different stores! Well actually three, but the third one was a store called Home Base, and they were brand new there, but it was older models so i had them all already so i didn't buy any lol. But i got a total of four from two different flea markets, three at one, and one in the other. I got two horses:

[spoiler] A pinto stallion from 2007, which i had already, but i couldn't pass up a flea market find lol, plus theyre just pretty! Besides, i wasn't sure if it was a custom or not, and when i got home and looked at my original one, the paint jobs were very similar, and yet at the same time obviously different. In the end, i came to the conclusion that it is NOT custom, it must just be a different Schleich employee painter/paint job and slightly different because it would be pretty hard to get them all exactly the same (naturally lol).



Next up is a 2008 Arabian stallion Wasnt for sure if i had him or not, but he was a duplicate as well i found out. No matter, he's in really good shape (much better than the scuffed one in the picture)! And im a sucker for the models like both of these horses that came out years prior to when i started collecting.

I also picked up this one:

[spoiler] its a 2009 female kangaroo and joey. Another duplicate, oh well one can never have too many cute kangaroos, right?! ha ha.

[/spoiler:0]

And last but certainly not least, is what i consider my best find of the day (and the only non-duplicate lol):



Fin

Oh yeah, i forgot to mention...not only was the camel a good find, the tag said the proceeds benefit charity...double score!

I have over 150 schleich horses now, and I repainted 7 of them, I own 4 cats now, and 3 dogs

Thats a pretty good number of horses! Congrats! Itd be cool if you could share pics of the ones you painted?

What about Breyer?! Their way better and way more detailed!

I love breyer so much!!! I currently have about 20 models!! Although I also love schleich, breyer is my favorite model horse brand

Me too! i wish my mum would get me more

Breyer is great too, but Schleich is cheaper and sturdier...i leave my large Breyers in their boxes, not just for value's sake, but to protect them. If a stablemate comes in a box or plastic, i leave them in there too. I love both Schleich and Breyer!

I live in nz other than the tack store's that have about 20 beryer you have to bring them in from over sea's not worth the risk / costs

That's sad, I'm sorry! What about Schleich? Are they in New Zealand?

they are my only toys i play with i have some of the oldest ones and im not that old(11)

What is the older model you have?
Mine is from 1996 or so

Mine are super duper old. Two are a bull and mama cow plus I have one that is even older then the cows it is a stallion paint horse.

I for one am interested in how old you're models are! It lists the year on the undersides of the models, though i'll admit, sometimes its hard to find/read! Let us know if you can read it and what it says!

Oops, that should say your, not you're!

Hi there i wanna introduce myself since this is my frist time posting on here

I'm wild (you might know me from schleich horses amino) have been playing howrse for a lil while and decided to check out the forums.

I've been collecting schleich horses for a couple of years now and have a decent size collection. I know a lot about schleichs horses but not much about the other animals.

Anyway I hope to have a great time here and mabey make a friend or 2

Hi, nice to meet you! I have been collecting for five/six years now i think, and i collect the horses, farm life, sea life, wildlife, pets...you get the idea lol.

Hi
nice to meet you to
I think we have been collecting for about the same time
I started collecting september 2014 so about 5 and a half years ago

Oh ok, cool Do you have some older and/or retired models?

I also think the Breyer horses are great I love them

I also love the schliech dogs they are so good

I like Breyers and Schleich. Breyers has amazing models that are big and small, the coloring and texture isn't the best. Dog hair is always clinging to them Schleich only does small models (correct me if I'm wrong), but they don't have dog hair stick to them thanks to the texture they have. Schleich is 1% higher on my favorite horse model companies due to this.

I love both as well, and i like Schleich a little better as they are cheaper and sturdier, and like you said, they have more texture And they make a wider range of animals.

yea i do my oldest horses are from 1992 my newest from 2020


I find breyers pretty cool to but its way to hard and expencive to get them where i live so i only have 2 stablemates
