Britains
I found some old, metal Britains on eBay the other day. They wanted to come and live in my Binbak stable.
They should be arriving shortly. They will be accompanied by another metal horse, a blacksmith, and his anvil. They will look great in the small riding stable that's on my great-grandmother's buffet in the library. Right now, some Breyer stablemates are living there. I don't think they'll mind sharing with the Britains horses!
I have a few Britains already, but they are of the more modern, plastic variety. I used to get different ones whenever I went to visit my cousins in Meaford. I remember getting a whole set of farm horses, and some Indians riding on horses. I have also found a few plastic Britains at Breyerfest (one I bought for about a quarter) and Brian bought an American Civil War mounted soldier for me in Cornwall last year.

Britains are fantastic, you can have loads in a small area. They are slightly smaller than Stablemates. I have two old lead ones most of my collection is plastic. Please put up photos of the Blacksmith when he arrives. You could call him Wayland, after the legend of Wayland's Smithy.

That's a great idea, I'll call the blacksmith Wayland! (I wonder if he has a limp?)
I'll try to get Brian to take photos of all of them when they arrive!
