New oldies

[eldabee]

Three little oldies came to live with me this week. They had a bit of a rough time of it, traveling back and forth between the UK and Ireland, and spending a month in the sorting office in Dublin 😢 the end result being they have gone soft and gummy, with bubble wrap stuck to them 😭

But, one good thing to come from living in a very cold house is that they are already starting to set! 

I think Bebe is a child's hunter, but can anyone ID the other two please?

Aww poorly ponies, are you going to try and mend them or keep them as they are? I'm not sure what the breeds are, the skewbald could possibly be a vintage new forest but really not sure, the piebald has a very distinctive long neck but no idea what mould he is.

Piebald could be the elusive standing horse. Check out this website

I'm going to wait and see how they settle over the next few weeks. I'm hoping to get away with just painting Bebe's legs and ears. The little skewbald (Cracker) has this horrific gash along his back, that will definitely be filled as it gives me the heebie jeebies to look at it! Otherwise if he sets solid I probably won't do much with him. The piebald... I wondered if he was possibly an angel Arab with the front legs so much shorter than the back? Or possibly a cow/camel hybrid 😂 again, if he sets solid I won't do too much to him. He does need a name though.

Lovely oldies. And they do look very old (early 60's ?) perhaps seal soft feet/legs with super glue (lots of people have said it has helped stabilise oldies that were going gummy). I have no idea of the coloured ponies moulds though.

Cow camel hybrid 😂😂
