I voted for MOC as I prefer my posable MOC horses to the standard fair. I also get to choose other colours, like tan, for more variety.

I love your horses Alan, I love them alot, but I just don't have the place for them, as I am emotionally attached to the molded ones.

Any chance you could design a baby one? As in a stage before the Pony?

You know what i prefer? Black with brown horses. Without tools and with a little patience, you can pull the two halfs apart and switch em. Put barding over it and IMO it looks great. Alternatively you could soften the color edge by drawing some more black on the brown half with a black marker.
Whatever you do, don't.

[Offtopic]: you know, reading this post, and then your signature was hilarious. First you suggest trying something, and then to forstall anyone actually doing it, you tack on your signature: Whatever you do, don't!

Makes for a hilarious post. [/offtopic]

My horses (and I) appreciate your love DM :wink: And I know they're not for everyone - the brown and tan ones are quite expensive to create (and not all the parts are even available in brown!!).

Here's a question: would lt.gray and dk.gray be legitimate colours for a horse?

I was watching the Calgary Stampede Chackwagon races during Stampede, so I can say confidently that Lt. Grey is definitly appropriate. There was also an in between colored horse that you could say was closer to Dk. Grey than Lt. Grey. So feel free to make those horses. :D You may want to add black or white ankles to some for some variation.

Maybe, maybe not. Certainly, it never struck me as quite so funny in any of your other posts.

Now, back on topic.

What was the topic again?

Horses, it was horses, the last on topic post was mine it was a confirmation to footsteps that indeed dark and light grey horses are legitimate colors for his brick built horses. Stay on topic or I will have you flayed! :wink:

Staying more on topic, you should have said: "or I will have you dragged behind a charging stallion!"

I voted for the Indian Horse. To be honest, I don't really like the feather or the blanket draped over it, but I like the spotted look. Having only monochromatic horses gets kind of boring... especially when your only choices are black, white and brown. I think they should make more spotted horses, as well as tan and grey. Even a burnt orange (I think that's the name of the color) would be nice.

Ah yes the Belville horse. My daughter loves those, the smaller filly is nice as well. She has about 3 fillies and 5 of the larger horse, 4 white and one Black. I haven't used them for anything, but I did contemplate affixing a horn of some type to the filly, it would make for a pretty graceful looking unicorn.
