Title: Looking for a Grand Campion horse's name.
Post by: Pierlala on November 03, 2017, 03:22:33 PM
Hey there.

I am looking for a specific GC horse. I didn't knew I had a GC as a child untill I read a topic here about them. She is black with white patches. Her mane is half white, half black and her tail is also a mix of black and white. Does anyone know her name? I can't find any pictures of her online . Also she came with a dark brow saddle and a thing for around the mouth, also dark brown.

I couldn’t find a mare with that description but I use this site for mine:

I don't recall anyone of that description either, but there's another ID site that's actually a collector's personal collection site, but she has everything... I haven't got it saved to my bookmarks on this PC, but I'll see if I can track it down for you, it helped me with some early horses I got a few years ago.

EDIT: Sorry, the message board I was referred on has moved to a new server, and all the old threads and messages are gone. I can check if I have a bookmark on my laptop, but if it was my old PC, we're out of luck, as it's long gone. I will check for you though, it was a great site, and I'd love to see it again myself!

There's only one black pinto mare. She is the unnamed Gypsy Vanner. If its not a draft horse, then your looking for a stallion named Lucky Chance.

Here is a picture of my mare. She's not too hard to find.

Pretty mare, and I adore Fair Skies, she's possibly my favourite foal.  :lovey:

I've actually never seen her before, but I'd given up on GC by that point, my last in-store purchases were the last QH set, with the barrel mare and sliding stop stallion, and then someone got me a 2nd Spicy Salsa as a gift. Since then I've only bought 2nd hand, because they haven't appeared in stores here ever since. Nice to see another Draft mare - I'm so very tempted to collect draft molds of everything when I finally get some room to display my whole collection of things.

I did track down that website, but the years have messed up the coding/formatting, and it hasn't been updated since 07 which doesn't exactly help:

I spent hours pouring over the photos years ago when I was still actively collecting... it's not quite as cohesive with the odd broken picture or link, but it's a start if you're looking to ID and the backcard images aren't helping.

Thank you Stormness. :heart: Fair Skies is one of my favorite foals too. I absolutely adored that website. That one and Blue Paradise Stables, which is sadly gone now.

Jealous that you have Spicy Salsa. I've been looking for her and her sire, Mr.Chips.

Oh wow I didn't expect this many replies. Thank you all for the info and the links.

I did actually find the horse I am looking for. This is the one. I think his or her name is Feed 'n Muzzle. On my phone now. So I will post the image later.

Looking at all these GC made me realise I might I acutally have some + possible a stable. I might have to check through some boxes and look after them and see if they really are GC or juse look-alikes.

Feed ‘n Nuzzle. The only mare with that description is 2002 Piebald - "Painter's Palette with foal Rainbow's End". Otherwise it’s the Paint stallion from 1997.

Feed n Nuzzle was a specific subset within GCs with moveable necks and heads.

And magnets that allowed them to nuzzle each other and “eat” apples and carrots that came with. These were some of my favorite ones as a kid

I used to have Apple Pie, Raindance and Moonshine.

I'd completely forgotten about those two.

Bumping this over to the Toy Box since it isn't doll related.

I have Painter's Palette, she only came with a yellow mesh rug, and yellow halter and lead, nothing brown at all. Are you sure they are her original accessories? She also came packaged with her foal, I don't think she was available separately.
