Hi everyone,

I recently found this horse and despite every effort have not been able to ID him. He is of a size that would be suitable for a Barbie to ride but isn't a:

1. Barbie horse
2. Sindy horse
3. Flower princess horse

There is no maker's mark anywhere to be found, just "Made in China" on the inside of one hind leg.

I really hope someone has come across him before

Well it's taken a while, but she's finally finished. (almost) Previously bald Italian Moonstone is now alternate Blue Moon

Hi there everyone!

I know this is not strictly a 'customs' query so please move it if I have put it in the wrong place 

I have a sad Baby Pictures and a hairless Toola Roola who I want to restore. But I do not know which colours they need, can anyone help?

Hi Everyone,

Sundance was sad because she has a pen mark on her back, and had no tail. Poor pony. So I thought I would cheer her up with a new look. Now of course she needs a New Name, because she isn't Sundance any longer. I had thought of Moondance, as that is what her colours suggest, but that is just so closer to Moondancer. Oh the agony of indecision! Blizzard and Star Dust also came to mind, but Moondance really fits her best in my mind: anyone have an opinion on this?

Here she is:

Hi Everyone,

I have been looking a lot at batch differences in ponies and how that might affect them. This is one of the small things that apparently interests me and helps to pass the time. I would like to start off with Pinwheel, a pony famous for age spots. What I have noticed is that there appear to be two distinct batches.

Pinwheel 1 (left):
She is a redder pink, has BLUE sticks on her pinwheels, and has airbrushed eyes.

Pinwheel 2 (right):
She is a colder, more lilac toned pink, has LILAC sticks on her pinwheels, and has stamped eyes.

Now, I see Pinwheel 1 almost always has age spots, but Pinwheel 2 almost never. So, what I am getting at here is there may be a nice way of checking out whether your future purchase of Pinwheel may be prone to age spots or not.

Where I need your help is with confirmation of my theory: please could everyone who has the time and inclination check which Pinwheel they have and whether their girl does or does not have age spots? I think this could be fun 

In addition, what state is their hair in? With my two, P1 has great hair, and P2, not so great... of course!

Well, my dream finally happened. Though not exactly how I thought it might: I finally discovered a South African Pony. Yes, indeed, I promise I did. And my world is now complete. However, the girl has no hair except one last remaining tuft in her mane. But I don't actually care, I love her!

What I thought might be interesting to others is this: it is now very easy to see the unique rooting of an SA Pony

Thus:

I will be rehairing her and as luck would have it I already have suitable hair. I can therefore also take a photo of the inside of her head and tail if anyone should be interested.

Hello everyone!

Once upon a time in England there was this small child who clearly had deeply rooted issues regarding their possessions. And ensuring that everyone in their vicinity, and indeed in this case for ever after, knew that their things belonged to them and them alone. And so as evidence I bring to you Exhibit A:

Wig Wam:

And don't think that you can turn the poor guy around, because you can't:

Why Ella, why?!



Now, in a different part of the world there was another small child who felt the urge to embellish her ponies. They just were not decorated enough, oh no! Which brings me to Exhibit B:

Tootsie:

So my question to you all it this: can these ponies be rescued by sun fading? Has anyone successfully completed a project such as this? And if you have, please do share!
