I'm doing the very important job of thinking about my Christmas order! I can't decide between two portrait models of real horses I used to know - an enormous bay I used to ride called Mischief (thinking TB or dropped head hunter) or a cheeky black Shetland who free roamed the yard I learnt to ride at and (subsequently loaned a pony from) who would obviously be in the pit pony mould. For added cheeky-factor I think a wire neck would be great, but I haven't got any with the flexi neck before, and obviously the degree of flexibility depends on the mould. Does anyone have a pit pony with the neck done like this? Any photos?  |

Not a flexi neck but Bob the Pit Pony has a turned head. I'm on my phone so can't get a photo sorry but he's in show photos from the live (plus I know you've seen him haha but I don't just assume you remember all my horses in perfect detail lol).

Is it sad to say that I do remember Bob in perfect detail?  I did think about turned head if flexi neck doesn't seem worth it! I love Bob so that helps  they'll be very different though, Pip was so old his face and bits of him were going grey, which I think will be rather cute! |

I have a black pigpone with a wired neck. Doesn't make a massive amount of difference to mine but there's definitely some give and she does look different!  i just have mine with her head curled round a bit so she looks super cute and super naughty |

I have a bendy-necked pigpone, Cuthbert - here's a pic of him (the grey) with a standard pony. There isn't a massive range of movement, but (apart from the fact that he's quite a bit bigger than Midge) you can see some difference.

He's adorable! What a fantastic colour! I am getting so excited for Christmas now. |

Aww those two are super cute! Guess I'm going to have to make my mind up soon.... Hmmm. Definitely think pit pony though, Mischief will have to wait till next time  (and I should probably tell my dad...) |
