Anyone collect Barbie Horses?

[Sunshine]

Hi all, I was wondering if there were any Barbie horse collectors out there.

I have a couple of them and I'm only half enthused about keeping them due to their HUGE size... but I know there have been a BUNCH of Barbie Horses released over the years...

I'd love to see pics of collections... I love seeing pics, usually helps me decide if I'd like to keep them or not, or if there are some really cool things I don't know about, etc.

I have a few but don't really collect them because they are too small for my dolls and that's what I use them for. They are beautiful though.

I have one from my childhood (who I was able to get all the accessories and box for again later).  Sun Runner is her name, a very pretty horse!

I don't collect them though, as I already have limited space as it is. 

I'll try to get a nice pic of her up sometime soon!

I have two leftover from my childhood, but as others have said they are too large and cumbersome for me to collect.

I do however collect the foals! and the dogs

I wouldn' Collect many of them I'd say one or two I'd be happy! I must try pick some up..

I collect the original Barbie horses. They have jointed legs and moulded plastic hair.

I have a little golden lab, and this REALLY cute sheep and big from Barbie, I should get pics now that I just spruced up all my Barbie Horse (I have 4 right now)... I'll update this post later...

I almost want to keep the little farm animals, but they happen to be two animals we /don't/ have on our farm lol - if it was a goat, that would be perfect!

Saoirse - Once I post pics if you like any of mine, I'd definitely let you take them into your herd... I think I'm only going to keep the one I call "Old Boy" - her Western horse from 1980... this isn't my pic but here's one of him from google images:

The others I haven't identified, they're all 1990s or newer I think... One must be some like "Rapunzel" pony because her mane is seriously 18" long...

^ Wow those are crazy, lol I've never looked for those when I'm out but now if I see one I'll be sure to take a good look at it and pick it up if it's reasonably priced (for you!)

[Saoirse]

Thanks Sunshine I'd definitely be interested

My mam bought me a couple I remember and I'd love to try get them again if I knew which ones, actually while Im in here is there any kind of I.D site anyone knows of.?

[Rhini]

I'd like to know too, when I searched for one and found their 'wiki' i looked up pets and there was simply a  blanket statement saying "barbie's had a lot of pets!" and I was like...really? 

For such a huge fandom they don't seem to be anywhere near as organized as us.

[Sunshine]

I agree Rhini... maybe check GhostoftheDoll? I don't know if they'd have just Barbie pets...

I'll get photos of mine later, we have out of town company so I'm busy until after dinner time... maybe someone can help me ID the other three I have...

[Rhini]

Yeah I need to get a new picture of mine, it has grown exponentially since I last took pictures, even have some MIB! 

[LunaDehligt]

I just have one but i don´t collect them

[Sunshine]

You know, I also have a Barbie giraffe.  LOL!   Seriously, she had a giraffe.  It's a plush toy with brushable main and tail tuft.  I'll need to dig that out and get a pic of it too. 

Oh, and I have one of her cats.  Named 'Fluff' it came with a scratching post, bed, and other items.  Kinda reminds me of Littlest Pet Shop!
