Hello, everyone!
It was a great pleasure for my mother and myself to meet so many of you at the Oxford show. Hopefully it's something we can do every year from now on!
That said, looking at all your lovely Julips made me realise how very unloved my own herd was. I was growing up in an awkward phase when we could only order premade horses from the catalogue, and I was also getting one every year for Christmas. The result was I ended up with a lot of beautiful but similar Julips which didn't feel like my own - and that's an expensive letdown. So, I decided it was time to sell on the ones I had no bond with, and maybe use the funds to purchase my own custom Julip, to inject some life and variety back into my collection.
Number one is Malteaser, my youngest horse - to the point where I hadn't even cropped her mane. She's striking indeed.
Number two is my second-youngest (I think) horse, Crystal. She's a fleabitten grey quite similar to Storm.
Next is Smudge, a piebald pony. I think he's a New Forest, but I'm not sure.
And finally is Barney, a bay.
I also have a dapple grey family, consisting of Dizzy, Merlin and their daughter Moppet. I'm still on the fence (ha!) about whether to sell them on, and if I did, I'd like them to go as a family. All of these would come with their own simple rug which I made as a child - and they are simple, so I wouldn't take offence if you threw them out!
Many thanks in advance for considering buying these lovely horses!
