Spares pony and pets

[stacey]

My spares night spoils arrived the other day - and I'm thrilled with all of them, Laura and the team have outdone themselves.

I'm a sucker for the stock horse and I love this roan-y skewbald colour, so even if he wasn't my first choice, he was a very close second!

He's settled very well, and found a partner in Diamond Diva. I decided to give him a name that compliments hers - Hollywood Hero.

I did far, far better than I expected to with pets - in the past I've barely managed to get any, but the internet gods must've been in my favour... This little guy told me his name before I even managed to get him - Badger [img src="http://storage.proboards.com/3507300/images/WthyElgWAvFSlUUVEJLi.gif" style="max-width:100%;" src="//storage.proboards.com/3507300/images/WthyElgWAvFSlUUVEJLi.gif" alt="" class="smile"]

This chap was another of my favourites and quickly became Sirius, because he's got a very stern and serious look on his face

All of our new hounds have 'R' names, so this chap is Regulus

And his standing friend is Reuben, who has a bit of a dreamer look  [img src="http://storage.proboards.com/3507300/images/WthyElgWAvFSlUUVEJLi.gif" src="//storage.proboards.com/3507300/images/WthyElgWAvFSlUUVEJLi.gif" style="max-width:100%;" class="smile" alt=""]

I was lucky enough to get a little Daschund after a little confusion. They're just as cute in person as they looked on spares night, and I've named mine Pepper after one I follow on Facebook

AND I managed to get cats too 😲 This one is Marmite, named after a cat my Primary School friend had, a beautiful long haired Tortie.

This one has named herself Maureen

And finally, this is Maude (My cats are developing old lady personalities [img src="http://storage.proboards.com/3507300/images/WthyElgWAvFSlUUVEJLi.gif" alt="" class="smile" style="max-width:100%;" src="//storage.proboards.com/3507300/images/WthyElgWAvFSlUUVEJLi.gif"] )

They are a wonderful group, the Stock Horse mould is one I always feel a bit weird about cos of their familiarity and history as a HOTY first, but in some colours it just works and looks well worth being an original. I think I've only ever liked them in pinto, spotted, and that one bay roan with a lot of white on which I think was from right back when the Originals version was first introduced? This pinto is no exception, and he's also got the combination with the roan, so I think he now takes the prize for my favourite ever on that mould! His name suits him too.

And wow what a lot of pets, whatever you were doing this time it as the right technique, hahah. Badger's my favourite, and I really like the sitting cats with the separate front legs, is that a new variation for the mould or am I just forgetting that they've been like that for a while?

I think the stock horse is my favourite out of all the re-cast HOTY horses and he does seem to suite the skewbald colour (although I really like Orion, the dapple grey you have!)

The sitting cat was just re-modelled a bit as it was getting difficult to tell where his legs and tail were as they were kind of mingled into one, I think the standing hound may have had it's neck moved slightly, I know there were a couple that were altered, great haul though and I love all their names

Ohh they make such a good looking pair!

I really liked him and his colouring is fab.

Lovely selection of pets as well

Ooh he's lovely Stacey, I'm glad you got him!

This is very funny and I hope you don't mind how it's turned out, after I missed him I decided to order a stock horse based on an another spares photo I had saved, who turns out to be the other one in your photo - we must have very similar taste!
