New horses for the herd

 In spite of my attempts at self-control, I've added some more horses lately. 

 Thanks to the consignment auction, I've added a bunch of nice vintage Breyers: 

  • the Clydesdale Mare & Foal gift set, with box and blankets
  • the Our First Pony gift set, with cardboard box and halter for Midge
  • another dapple-gray Proud Arabian Stallion
  • Abdullah on the Trakener mold (my second Abdullah)
  • bay G1 Morgan Stallion
  • bay G1 Arabian mare 
  • a handful of rider dolls (four, I think) and assorted tack
  • and a red Dala horse made in Sweden 

Then, this week, one of the thrift stores posted some pictures on facebook, and I spotted a pair of Cheval ponies on a shelf.  Got up the next morning and was waiting (with 25 other people) when they opened.  Turns out there were seven Cheval ponies total, all the comical spaghetti-mane Shetlands.  Only $10 each, so I bought them all.  They're in pretty good condition, one has a repaired leg and an ear chip, and there's some crazing here and there, but they're so cute.
