Collection Model 63: Horse Trailer 4x4 and Polo

Horse Trailer 4x4 set
63. Polo

The horse trailer set was pretty simple, containing only the car, trailer and a brown horse with pale legs and a white star, "Polo". Polo's breed card was part of the external packaging and had to be cut out by the owner.

As far as we know, Polo was the last model in the MBH collection.

Collection models 56 - 58: Magic Foal Sets

56. Kira the Baskhir
57. Corrie the Icelandic
58. Lucinda the Camague
These sets each contained a foal, bucket, finger brush, sponge, "plasters" (stickers) and a breed card. The foals had colour-change markings which were activated by the cold and disappeared when warmed up.

Kira was the cream-coloured foal with mud splashed on her foreleg. This foal was later released as part of the animal hospital range but you can usually tell it apart. Only MBH-released foals have the colour change marking, or if this has worn off permanently as tends to happen, Animal Hospital foals often had white dots in the eyes or a glossy finish,
Corrie was the flaxen chestnut foal with a wound on her shoulder and Lucinda was the brown foal. I don't know if Lucinda had a colour-change marking so any information would be appreciated, as would photos to use of the chestnut and brown foals.
