The older grey model was a lovely gift from Miss Adelaide. I am to rehabilitate her and pictures are expected if I can't make it to the next show.  Could anyone tell me roughly what years this model was produced and the name of the mold? I used to dream about getting one of these when I was young, but ordering overseas was too difficult and expensive. I am thrilled to add this lady to the herd. Cearan Mhoire Willowmere's Impulsive Venture - light dapple grey Dressage Horse Cearan Mhoire Angel's Share - Fjord foal Unnamed grey wirehair Mongrel Cearan Mhoire Oliver - siting cat with altered tail Unnamed speckled smooth Mongrel Unnamed black wirehair terrier The six new recruits to the Bunny Army and their fabulous hutch (the bunny inside is an older one) The current Bunny Army bar one - I had to buy another when I realized I had an odd number. We're now at 30 strong. These are a special order I placed a little while ago, but I did pick them up at the show. They are portraits of three of the main characters from one of my favourite childhood books - Beautiful Joe, Jim, and Malta. If you are interested in learning about Joe's story, the Wikipedia page is a good place to start. |

Great haul you have there, especially the DH. I also like your exotic sounding stable name I must have been asleep when the bunnies were launched as I didn't know they existed but your 30 (!) are very cute. |

Thank you Cearan Mhoire is Scottish Gaelic for the name of my town, Kirriemuir. You missed out on the bunnies?! The horror! Sounds like it's time for a special order. |

I didn't see the Dressage Horse on the day, she's lovely I loved the rabbit hutches too, I just don't really have space for one to be on display so couldn't justify it really  The Arab Champions were made in rubber (like yours) and then later in plastic - the mould has the same name as an Originals mould but it's a different horse entirely (although the HOTY Arab Champion has been made into an Originals mould too). They are some of the first HOTY models and the range was first released in 1989. |

Do you know what year the switch was made from rubber to the plastic models? |

Cearan Mhoire Mistletoe has arrived!
Mistletoe was a spare at Lake District live - I just held out a little while before buying her She and Impulsive are having a little salon time; just drip-drying tonight before a light trim tomorrow. My mohair came from Horsing Around today, too, so Rue (my chestnut pinto 2008 mare) will be getting rehaired soon. |

Aww Mistletoe is sweet Though I admit to thinking it's an usual choice of name for a Julip bought in July My spares parcel didn't arrive today, so I'm holding out til Monday |

Fabulous photo! They're all gorgeous but the dressage horse looks especially elegant with the flowing grey mane.
