Nice review, great pics.
So should we stop calling them old and new horses and go with horse version 1 or v1, etc...? Or will it be the newest horse, new horse and old horse or original horse...

Thanks for the nice eview and I enjoyed the three horse comparison photo - it really demonstrates change over time. I like the phase 3 horses very much.

I'm sure it'll prove very popular, especially with the girls.

Not just the girls  ;) These newest horses are very suitable for cavalry-charges!  :cowboy: :knight:

Oooh I really like the new horses.  I like the fact that there is no saddle hole.  I've only got one v.2 horse.  When I first saw it I was almost appalled, it looked like it was seriously under fed  :-[ (I'm not joking either that was the first thing I thought was starving horse).  Obviously they have to be that slim for the playmobil to fit, and once he was all set up with his saddle and armour he (she) looked much better.

I didn't think too much of the pony farm sets, but now hmmmm . . .

I love these new ones, but I also love the original version.... they have a certain charm and are so versatile! Would be hard to pick between the first and third for my favorites!

Thanks for the great review, Tenni. The stable looks really great.

yeah that'd be cool - i like the arab horse because he's pretty suitable for armies, etc imo - that's why i used it as a royal horse in my victorian story

the original horses were ok, but they only suit the old klickies - these new horses are by far my favorite and they match all the new klickies, which are also now more detailed

horses version 2 were always ugly :loco:
Enjoy the elegance and fun of 1900 with The Victorians photo story! :gent: ;D :sherlock:

Doesn't it seem a waste, to end the old new horses?

And it's a darn shame the saddles don't fit.. IMO, a mistake...

But the horsies are GORGEOUS! :love:

I like the old horse. And the second generation horse was no big advance, in my opinion. But the new horse is a good change, I think. It makes the first generation to feel like vintage, like the difference between old klickies and the new ones.

It was a positive change, imo. But there'll always be place for the original playmobil horse in our hearts ;)

I like the fact that they changed the saddles. One of the problems with the horse in the middle was that the change hadn't been complete. Now it's well done. It's a problem that we'll have to get all new horses, all right, but future sets will come, I guess. Looking forward for the new horses in medieval sets (with medieval saddles! :yup: ) (...).
