Hartland Seabiscuit

This is a very ugly piece but I am excited to add it to my collection. Why? Because it is also a very unusual and hard to find Hartland piece.
 Seabiscuit, 140929191220, Resin Legacy Model, 6/10/13, $6.00, eBay, Lost Treasures Inc.
 I will be keeping it in its box...
 ... which will help with documentation.


HR Specialty Dressage Horse and Rider

I got this piece from Gerry Bowman's Little Shoppe.

Breyer Mesteno's Mother

Another find from the Romney Toy Shop!

Hartland Tinymite Arabian

I had this piece as a child, but it disappeared as time passed. (It may still be tucked in some boxes in my office closet. Who knows?) I found an orangey replacement one a few years ago, but it wasn't the same. So, when I saw this one at the Romney Toy Shop yesterday, I snagged it. (It wasn't even on the sales floor yet - she'd just gotten it in!)

It's not mint and has either a tiny eartip rub or chip, but still I am glad to have it. I love the color.

Breyer SM Scratching Foal

I found this little baby for $0.25 at the Romney Toy Shop. I was rummaging through a small tub of small farm animals, and there it was. Not bad for a quarter!

Breyer Shetland Pony

I found this piece in Romney at the Romney Toy Shop. I left it behind the first time I saw it, and then purchased it when I went back with JC and Trinity so that they could get Braden, Addie, and Corinne some things. (Out of their own money, no less!) It is a nice piece, albeit dirty, and I figured I could clean it up and sell it.

Hagen Renaker Retro

I have loved the piece, Retro, that Hagen Renaker re-iussed a few years ago, but the cost ($120) for the size (Stablemate) was too much, in my opinion. So, when I saw one on eBay for $59, I bought it, even though $50 is generally my limit for a SM sized piece.

It arrived today, and I was surprised to discover it was larger than SM -  a bit bigger than a Little Bit but not quite Classic sized. In fact, I am thrilled at my new piece!
