I wonder what breed the moulded ones are meant to be? Perhaps your daughter
could investigate... ;-)
I think the Lego horses look like little ponies, but are scaled to the minifigs
as though they're mature. They're completely the wrong shape though, with fat
legs and skinny flat flanks. I just wanted something that's bigger than the lot
of them and horse-shaped, instead of rocking-horse shaped. Yes, it's huge, but
I still maintain it's not impossible to have a Shire (or cross) of that size.
I've stood next to Shire horses, and some of them are massive - and you know how
tall I am.
