thin tails on rare Greek babies
« on: July 19, 2016, 12:20:17 PM »
I think it's pretty common for the rare Greek babies to have thin tails, right? I've seen it lots of times.  I had always assumed that their tail hairs were poorly attached or inserted, and just came loose when brushed.

I have a dark blue Greek Baby Bluebelle with a thin tail and some wear. Since Greek heads aren't glued anyway, I opened her up to take a look. I was surprised to see no washer at all! Instead her tail hairs are tied in a knot around what appears to be half a bobbie pin!

Has anyone else ever seen this? It's definitely weird, but sort of looks original to me. I wonder if the factory improvised for a while when it ran out of washers, and didn't want to postpone production to wait for more. The hair definitely looks original. It's the right color, and it has some age and wear.

Seriously, the job looks too shoddy to be a custom. It reminds me of the UK princess vatiants, just thrown together with whatever was on hand.
Nirvana grails:  Reverse Gusty (upgrade), Peru Windy and Moonstone (upgrade), Brazil TAF upgrades, Argie Powder w/ white hair (upgrade), French Windy and Moondancer (upgrades), Spain TAF's, TE's, and piggies.  These are my biggest wants, but I'm looking for tons more nirvanas, especially Greeks, Brazilians, and Peruvians.  Feel free to PM me for sales or trades.  But please note that I'm also fairly picky.

Do you have a picture? I'd love to see this!

I've only ever seen the regular babies and they have standard Greek washers.

I wonder what other people have observed :)

Sorry, I didn't have time to post pics over the weekend. I'll try to do this soon.

I was hoping to get some info from blue.unicorn on Ebay, since she sells so many Greek ponies. I sent her a message, but haven't heard back yet; maybe she's out of town. I remember that she posted a baby with a thin tail not long ago.
