There's still plenty of material to cover, but as you can tell from my lack of updates after the final G3 conga, I just haven't had the time, so it's time to put the blog to bed.<br />

Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed pictures and information over the past four years; I couldn't have kept this blog going without you. Thank you to everyone for reading and for your kind support and interest.<br />
<br />
Many Mini's archives will remain available for future reference, but the congas are unlikely to be updated.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in my other projects - Julip ID, Magpie Model Horses, etc. - you can find the links on my <a href="http://www.labratango.com/">Lab Rat Tango</a> homepage.<br />
<br />
Many thanks to you all, <br />

<br />
<hr />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://labratango.com/MMH/Year4/2017/2017-05-12-HSTG3-SRStoreSingles/TargetRRsingles.jpg" height="270" /> <img border="0" src="http://labratango.com/MMH/Year4/2017/2017-05-12-HSTG3-SRStoreSingles/TargetRRsingles2.jpg" height="270" /></div>

In 2006, the #5904 Singles (203-03) appeared on shelves in Target stores with the special run number 720116. These models are identical to the regular run singles, but some tend to be a bit darker and/or shinier than their #5904 counterpart.<br />
<ul>
<li>G2 American Saddlebred - black pinto</li>
<li>G2 American Saddlebred - chestnut</li>
<li>G2 Rearing Arabian - black</li>
<li>G2 Clydesdale - white grey</li>
<li>G2 Standardbred - dapple grey</li>
<li>G2 Andalusian - dark bay</li>
<li>G2 Warmblood - bay dun blanket appaloosa</li>
<li>G2 Morgan - palomino</li>
<li>G2 Quarter Horse - chestnut</li>
<li>G2 Shetland Pony - palomino</li>
<li>G2 Thoroughbred - chestnut pinto </li>

<br />
Chaos ensued when a crop of unidentified Stablemates popped up at the Tractor Supply Co. and similar stores in 2008. #5906 is a small assortment consisting of six models:<br />
<ul>
<li>G3 Tennessee Walking Horse - bay</li>
<li>G3 Standing Stock Horse - bay dun</li>
<li>G3 Standing Thoroughbred - white grey</li>
<li>G3 Peruvian Paso - flaxen chestnut</li>
<li>G3 Highland Pony - bay pinto </li>
<li>G3 Walking Arabian - palomino</li>
</ul>
<br />

<br />
During the summer of 2009 while many of the hobby folk were congregating in Kentucky for BreyerFest, a wave of pink washed over Target stores leaving in its wake singles and sets. The Pony Gals collection was a large one with twelve different models:<br />
<ul>
<li>G3 Jumper: #720227 Pony Gals - Swedish Warmblood (flaxen liver chestnut)</li>
<li>G2 Clydesdale: #720216 Pony Gals - Clydesdale (bay)</li>

<li>G2 Stock Horse: #720221 Pony Gals - Quarter Horse (dark bay)</li>
<li>G3 Standing Stock Horse: #720220 Pony Gals - Appaloosa (chestnut blanket appaloosa)</li>
<li>G2 Thoroughbred: #720223 Pony Gals - Thoroughbred (white grey) </li>
<li>G3 Highland Pony: #720218 Pony Gals - Pony (bay)</li>
<li>G2 Warmblood: #720224 Pony Gals - Hanoverian (flea-bitten grey)</li>
<li>G3 Tennessee Walking Horse: #720217 Pony Gals - Tennessee Walking Horse (chestnut roan)</li>
<li>G3 Mustang: #720222 Pony Gals - Mustang (black dun sabino)</li>
<li>G2 American Saddlebred: #720225 Pony Gals - American Saddlebred (black pinto)</li>

<br />
Fast forward seven months and we find ourselves back in negotiations for the company. In November of 2014, we completed the purchase. It took us a few months before we could find time to drive down to Braintree to collect Magpie, but we managed to make the trip in January 2015. That's about 480 miles in a moving van for the non-UK readers.<br />
<br />
For a variety of reasons we kept the purchase very quiet over the next few years while we constructed a workshop and lined up supplies and printers and such. Now we're in the final stages and hoping to open in September of 2017!<br />
<br />
Why am I rambling about Magpie Model Horses on a Breyer Stablemate blog? Due to the time commitment required, this will be the last year for Many Mini Hooves. Posts will continue until our fourth birthday when we will finish the Generation Three molds. I feel this is a good stopping point, though I haven't exhausted all of my material. <br />
<br />
The blog posts and pictures will remain online for future reference. MMH may return one day once I settle into my new role.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in seeing what Magpie Model Horses is all about, pop on over to our <a href="http://www.magpiemodelhorses.uk/">website</a>. Magpie can be found on many social media platforms and has its own forum, blog, and reference site, too.<br />
<br />
I want to thank all of our readers for following us and everyone who has contributed to our posts. It's been a brilliant run.<br />

In 2008, coinciding with the airing of the third and final season of The Saddle Club TV series, Breyer released a line of merchandise tie-ins with plushies, Mini Whinnies, Traditionals, Classics, and of course, Stablemates. <br />
<br />
All of the Stablemate sets are based on episodes from the first season which aired in 2001.<br />

#5302 <i>Stablemates Puppies and Foals Play Set</i> (2006-07) came with three little puppies and three delightful foals: a buckskin tobiano G2 Frolicking Foal, bay frame overo G2 Scratching Foal, and a palomino G2 Cantering Foal.<br />
<br />

<br />
In 2008 the puppies were replaced with kittens in the #5406 <i>Kittens & Foals Play Set</i> (2008-09). The foals included are a chestnut roan G3 Lying Foal, G3 standing foal in dark bay blanket appaloosa, and a white grey G2 Trotting foal with shaded dark grey points.<br />

<br />
The final pets and foals set released thus far is the Target #720233 <i>Pony Gals - Puppies and Foals Play Set</i> (2009). Three puppies frolicked with a chestnut frame overo G2 Frolicking Foal, a pale palomino G2 Trotting Foal, and a G2 Scratching Foal in black roan.<br />

<br />
<a name='more'></a>#5906 <i>Paint Horse - Bay Pinto</i> (2006-08) is a well traveled model and can be found in the Rural King #701850 <i>Stablemates Country Stable Barn</i> (2010) as well as the Various Retailers <i>Horse-A-Day Calendar</i> (2011-2012). The model is a red bay tobiano with the "map and cape" pattern draped over its back. The pattern irritates purists because, except in very rare cases, tobiano horses have white on all four legs. These models have a near-fore stocking, an off-fore pastern, and nothing on the back legs. The mane is two-toned black/white and the tail is white. A small star and eye-whites finish things off.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
<hr /><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://labratango.com/MMH/Year4/2017/2017-02-17-HSTG3-MiniMeII/G2halloween.jpg" width="450" /></div><a name='more'></a><br />
#5917 Spooky Stablemates Collection (2005) featured a glow-in-the-dark Mini Merry Widow on the G2 Prancing Morgan, Mini Nosferatu on the G2 Thoroughbred, and a Mini Skullduggery on the G2 Rearing Arabian.<br />
<br />
<hr /><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://labratango.com/MMH/Year4/2017/2017-02-17-HSTG3-MiniMeII/G3halloween.jpg" width="450" /></div><br />
The next fall brought a new set - #710016 Spooky Stablemates Set II (2006) with a glow-in-the-dark G2 Warmblood Mini Cryptic, clear plastic Mini Illuminati on the G3 Mustang, and a G3 Rearing Andalusian Mini Phantasma.<br />
<br />
<hr /><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://labratango.com/MMH/Year4/2017/2017-02-17-HSTG3-MiniMeII/BFthreering.jpg" width="500" /></div><br />
A second Mini-Me set was available in 2006, this time at BreyerFest. 1,500 of the #711066 Three Ring Circus Stablemates Trio (2006) were made. The models included in the set were Mini Jade on the G3 Mustang, a stunning Mini Mauvelous on the G2 Rearing Arabian, and a clear plastic Mini Tortuga on the G3 Friesian. <br />
<br />
<hr /><br />
The most epic Mini-Me set was a surprise release at the 2009 BreyerFest. 500 sets featuring miniature versions of the BreyerFest Celebration horses from the past 20 years were available for purchase in the Breyer Store. The models came in an impressively large, double-sided presentation box.<br />

Half of these have been reissues.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://labratango.com/MMH/Year4/2017/2017-02-10-LAG3SD/G3SD-brown.jpg" width="600" /></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
The model on the left was purchased as part of the Target #720230 <i>Pony Gals - Country Vet Play Set</i> (2009) while the one on e the right was purchased as part of the #5927 <i>Down on the Farm Play Set</i> (2009-10). The model was also used in #710724 <i>Emergency Animal Rescue Set</i> (2009-15) which was sold through various retailers. <br />
<br />
Colour, shading, and finish can vary a bit, but the model is a mousy brown with a hint of grey, with lighter belly shading, some light shading on the face, darker hooves, and sometimes faint dorsal striping, muzzle and mane/tail shading.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://labratango.com/MMH/Year4/2017/2017-02-10-LAG3SD/G3SD-2012.jpg" width="300" /></div>
<br />
#701720 <i>Stablemates Visiting Vet Horse and Trailer</i> (2012-14) might be extra #5927 models, but some collectors have reported that these models are lighter and more grey-brown than brown-grey.<br />
<br />
<hr />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://labratango.com/MMH/Year4/2017/2017-02-10-LAG3SD/G3SD-grey.JPG" width="600" /></div>
<br />
The grey models are slightly easier to tell apart, thankfully.<br />
<br />
#059204 <i>Stablemate Deluxe Animal Hospital</i> (2010-Current) is a matte medium grey with white shading on the belly, legs, and face. The mane/tail, hooves, muzzle, and forehead are darker. This model was also released as part of the JCPenney <i>Stablemates Animal Care Center</i> (2010)<br />
<br />
<br />
I haven't been able to decide if (top-right) #5366 <i>Ranch Friends Play Set</i> (2013-14) and (bottom-left) #5950 <i>Petting Zoo Play Set</i> (2012-2013) are identical releases or not. Both are a pearly white-grey with slightly darker mane/tails. My #5366 is a slightly warmer grey with a touch of pink shading on the nose and a little dark shading on the legs. My #5950 is a more uniform cool grey with shaded hooves.<br />
<br />
The model on the bottom-right is a #5950, but is darker than his sibling and has leg shading like #5366. He looks like he could be a variation from either set, but I marked him when I opened him so I'd remember which one he came from. He's also a bit of a factory "oops" as his front hooves and tail weren't molded properly.<br />

These sets later appeared in a variety of retail stores and were only produced for a year.<br />
<br />
<hr />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://labratango.com/MMH/Year4/2017/2017-01-06-HSTG3-HorseNfoalSR/SRHnF-grey.jpg" height="331" width="400" /></div>
<a name='more'></a>#5601 <i>Rose Grey Arabian and Foal</i> (2008) featured a rose grey (bay going grey) G3 Walking Arabian and G2 Trotting Foal.<br />
<br />
The stallion has a snip, eye-whites, and white and tail with black shading. The foal is slightly darker and has a star, eye-whites, black points, and off-hind and near fore socks,<br />
<br />
<hr />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://labratango.com/MMH/Year4/2017/2017-01-06-HSTG3-HorseNfoalSR/SRHnF-appy.jpg" height="267" width="400" /></div>
<br />
The G3 Mustang and G2 Frolicking Foal in the #5602 <i>Appaloosa Stallion and Foal</i> (2008) set are both bay "semi-leopard" appaloosas.<br />
<br />
They have black points, white shading in their tails, blazes, and polka-dot spots. The Stallion has hind socks while the foal has three socks, not including the off-fore.<br />
<br />

Both horses in the #5603 <i>Pinto Sport Horse and Foal</i> (2008) set are tobianos, but their base colours are different.<br />
<br />
The G3 Standing Thoroughbred is a black tobiano with a star, snip, and four white legs. The G3 Standing Foal is a dark bay tobiano with a star, four stockings, and eye-whites.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
The G2 Scratching Foal is a sooty silver bay with flaxen mane and tail, darkly shaded legs, eye-whites, and a near-hind sock.<br />

#5931 <i>Roll & Go Farm Animal Play Set</i> (2011-12) is a yellow palomino with hind socks and shaded leg joints.<br />
<br />
Tractor Supply Company/Other Retailers special run #5604 <i>Palomino Peruvian Paso and Foal</i> (2008) is a yellow palomino very similar to #5931, but usually has a bit more shading to the body. The model has three socks, not off-hind, and eye-whites.<br />
<br />
Target #720226 <i>Pony Gals - Peruvian Paso</i> (2009) is a light golden-toned chestnut with flaxen mane and tail, and off-hind and near-fore pasterns.<br />
<br />
Tractor Supply Company/Other Retailers special run #5906 <i>Peruvian Paso</i> (2008) is a deep red chestnut with flaxen mane and tail, hind socks, eye-whites, and a snip. It was later released as regular run #46002 <i>Running Free - 300 Piece Puzzle</i> (2008-09)<br />
<br />
#5906 <i>Peruvian Paso - Red Roan</i> (2006-08) is a chestnut roan with a creamy body, dark chestnut mane and tail, and dark chestnut shading on the body, head, and legs. It has eye-whites, a large snip, four socks, and leg chestnuts painted grey.<br />
<br />
Toys 'R' Us special run #760218 <i>Stablemate World of Horses Shadow Box - Peruvian Paso</i> (2010) appears to be a re-release of #5906, but differences in colour and the gap between releases indicates this is a look-alike rather than extra #'5906s being repackaged. This model has a body colour which is darker and more orange, lighter shading, and a satin to semi-gloss finish. The white markings remain the same.<br />

<br />
#59209 <i>Deluxe Stable Set</i> (2015-Current) is identical to #5907, but has a normal matte finish instead of pearly.<br />
