I'd go for the Welsh Cob!

I was thinking Welsh Cob as well, but this mould has rather dishy face - I need to ask Laura if it can be modified My other option is Mustang - a bit leaner than Welsh Cob, but I think it could work as this breed as well?

I was thinking mustang although you're right, it's a lot leaner than the welshy! The horse in the top photo also looks a lot like the Sport Horse/Moondance mould.

Mustangs look very lightweight though I think (also ponyish; they're such a small horse mould I even have one as a welsh pony). I don't personally really see them resembling those Morgans. I would have said family horse is closer without modifcations or welsh cob if the head was altered.

I know Morgans are reasonably small but they're not very delicate ponyish, and I think the mustang tends to seem even smaller than that, especially if you put Julip riders on them or stand them next to other even similar height Julips (and welsh ponies are like 1-2 hands smaller than morgans). I tried to assign bigger horse breeds to mustangs but it just didn't fit, they're not big or horsy enough. The only ones that did seem to turn out a bit bigger (all over, not just in height) and more horsy seem to be the very early (1990s) mustangs but after the mould was brought back it seems it shrank. That top horse does look a bit different to the other two though I think; he reminds me more of the family horse. But the other two I would probably say welsh cob is closest.

The main drawback of Welsh Cob is its dishy profile. If it can't be modified to be more straight, I'll go with a Family Horse - one can never have too many of these!

Laura has done modified faces (search Mabel on here and you'll find my Arab mare of that name) so might be an option.

I did the forum search but all that came up was this post, the results post from the julip live and the results post from Stacey's live!

Here she is She's a portrait of a real mare that I've known since she was born - more photos on her own post, not sure why it won't show up in a search but 'Jack and Mabel' on the second page of the introductions board

Ohhh I recognise her now has she had her face filled in a bit? Looks good and I like the ticking on her flank.
