The start of my herd

[helen1983]

So, I never knew about Originals until recently when Kits and I were talking...and the opportunity came for me to start my collection at the Utterly Horses Marketnight, where I bought this beautiful little girl



I then decided that she needed friends, because she'd get lonely...



They are gorgeous! I've kept the foal's name as Tigerlilly, but I've called my new boy Cookies N Cream...but I need an everyday name for him. I'm also struggling for a colour for his rugs...but I'm making him a nice cosy stable rug

[EG]

I was *this* close to buying that horse but resisted as I have something on order, haha!
You're certainly well on your way to a full blown Julip addiction, it just can't be stopped.

[helen1983]

Haha I nearly didn't because of payday...but then Kits suggested someone could buy me him for Christmas? So I need to talk the parental unit into funding my addiction...keeps me out of trouble, heh

[Josie]

Both really lovely first additions! Are you going to get a bay skewbald mum for your foal? I always think the welsh pony and foal mould look cute together... 

[casey]

Ooh lovely
You could call her cookie or cee cee and I think she'd look nice in burgundy or light blue

[helen1983]

Thank you yeah I'm on the lookout for a skewbald mum, amongst many other horses *sigh* havent seen one that matches her though if that makes sense? Which is the Welsh pony mould? The one like Songbird?

[helen1983]

Oooh light blue! I like that 

[Josie]

Yeah that's the one, the foal mould is quite small even for a foal when you think about how leggy real ones are compared to their parents at birth, so I always thing of them as babies for the welsh pony or new forest and the yearlings as foals for the horses! That said I do have a piebald one to go with my skewbald arab champion .

[helen1983]

Hehe I shall keep a lookout for one the Welsh pony's face is so cute!

[cookie]

Welcome. I got that foal at UH Market night too
good choice for the 2nd one too

Now you need stables and tack, riders, rugs......

[Manda]

A great start to your collection, watch out though, the multiply when you are not looking!

[pinkmouse]

Gorgeous models, I love Tigerlilly and Cookies N Cream is super handsome Can't wait to see what you get next!!!

[pip]

both are so cute! i have to second everyone saying they're very addictive though.

[thelonehick]

A great start to the addiction! Got a spotted theme going.

[kits]

Lovely to see your Welsh cob all arrived, I like your photo background too! You'll have to come to a show and play Julips with everyone

This is very true, you need to keep a close eye on Julips.

A lovely start, Tigerlilly is so pretty and that Welsh Cob is very handsome.

[helen1983]

Haha thanks Cookie! We have good taste yeah, been working on the tack, I watched EG's fab saddle tutorial but I need more brown leather lace! Manda, I'd love that! Wouldn't it be fab awww thanks pinkmouse, I was watching a beautiful one on eBay but really need to save my pennies! Pip, yeah they really are! I keep looking through the archive to see which ones I'd like (that would be most of them then) thelonehick, I love the blanket spot bum ponies and used to ride a little piebald cob who cornered like a motorbike haha so I guess I love the patchies kits, I know! I really wish I could have come to Oxford, it'd have been loads of fun! Jan I've just got an image of two guilty looking Julips and a foal next to them! Oops!
