I certainly didn’t expect there to be a second part to the original blog post so soon. But here it is...wood (lol, pun!) you believe I actually found Boomerang (non-Breyer) and my old grazing pony mare?! I am currently trying to sort out models-my own plus my late sister’s collection. There are easily a couple of thousand models; I never kept count of my collection, and I estimate my sister’s collection to be at least a thousand models. Some of my boxes weren’t labeled, so it’s Christmas morning opening them up. I opened up a box and there was Boomerang and the little broken grazing mare. Happy dance! Boomerang is now on a bookshelf (with actual books), and the little broken grazing mare is laying on top of shelved books in the adjoining bookcase. Meet Boomerang:
The movable tail:
And the tail removed:
The original and new mares together. Quite the difference in color between the two:
Boomerang and the pseudo-woodgrain finish mares:
I love how the three of them look together! I am definitely going to keep an eye (or seven) out to see if I can find any more of the mares. Perhaps she was produced in a third color; even if she wasn’t, I will still try to buy any if I come across more of them.
