I remember receiving Julip catalogues in the mail back in the eighties and longing for one of these Arabs. The bay was my favourite, but alas! I could not afford any of them at the time.
I was lucky to find this one on eBay recently. He was already over here in the United States, so he didn't have far to travel. Aside from a mane trim (it's now a more normal Arabian-type length instead of improbably long), he's in pretty good shape.
He's one of the ones that actually has fairly rubbery, bendy legs, unlike current HOTY Julips, which are solid, heavy plastic. I suspect, but cannot confirm, that he may have a wire armature underneath the rubbery plastic body.
Anyway, he is cute as a button and I am very pleased to add him to the stable at long last.
His arrival cheers me up since my favourite hat, which I wear each day all winter long, has disappeared. We have retraced our steps everywhere, to no avail. The hat has vanished. I am very sad about the hat because Brian got it for me as a Christmas present while we were dating.
He loves me so much that he went out and bought me another hat, just so I will keep warm during what is left of the winter weather. He even helped me look for my hat! Thanks, Brian!
I have always been sad to lose a special possession. When I was about three or four years old, I accidentally left my Bozo doll in Hudson's. I was unconsolable until Daddy made a special trip to retrieve Bozo! Bozo was my favourite toy, and I actually went through at least three of them over the years. (His head kept coming detatched from his body, and Mom would have to sew it back on!)
