Collection Model 52: Riding School Playset

Riding School Playset
51. Mystic the Lusitano


This set was promoted a great deal in the My Beautiful Horses magazine and included lots of new style accessories we hadn't seen before. After MBH folded, it was also available minus branding from PONY magazine. It didn't just focus on riding school activities but also road safety.

The set included Mystic, a dun horse on a new mould who pawed the ground when you lowered her head, plus blue tack, a glow-in-the-dark numnah, spotty glow-in-the-dark bandages, a rider in a green t-shirt, green and white riding hat, a long overcoat for the ride, a stripy hi-viz/glow-in-the-dark rider's bib, pole supports, two lilac and white poles, a jump, two pink cones, a baby pink finger brush and a breed card.


Weirdly the numnah and rider's bib arrived glued on in my childhood version of the set and never really stopped being a bit sticky. I've seen other versions with more pleasant felt numnahs but these could have been replacements by more inventive kids than me!
