My first Hartlands

Technically, my very first Hartland is a grey grazing mare that I found at a flea market this summer.



Then I got this bunch on Ebay. The alabaster FAS is glossy but could use a sun bath and is missing an eartip. The ASB is Tenite (cellulose acetate), same as Breyers, but the Morgan family is the Styrene. That explains why I probably saw Hartlands earlier and didn't know it - the plastic just screams "cheap Hong Kong toy" to me for some reason.

The Hartlands are all in pretty good shape, considering their age. Not bad for about $20. I like the metallic chestnut, too.

I'd really like to have one of the Regal-size prancing QHs, but that'll have to wait until I find one in my price range. Thrill of the hunt and all that.
