The NICI Horse Club

What do you think when you hear the word 'Horse'? Is it horse-racing? Or a ranch? Or maybe something else? :) Whatever it is, for the equestrian lovers, NICI surely do a great job this time.

Since its launch in 2010, NICI Horse club series has gathered many fans, especially in Europe *I suppose*. That's why NICI comes back with the new series of Horse Club in early 2011.

So, I want to introduce you to my horses troop...

First, let me introduce you to the babies..

The 15cm dangling horses from the first

NICI Horse Club series..

I call them Sylphid Jr. and Max Jr.

*tell you more about these names later*

The first series only features the dangling version,

no lying no standing version..

Well, these guys here want to say 'Hi!' to you..

Flying far from UK Cuddly Kingdom, they finally

made their way to Singapore.. *Yayy...*

Okay.. What do we have next? Following the cute little babies, there come the mighty horses. They might remind you of the race horses.. Yup, these are the 2nd edition of the NICI Horse Club..

Hoof.. Hoof...

They look so great and mighty.. ;)

The standing version looks better..

It resembles the real horse more :D

I call the white guy Sylphid and the brown guy Max..

Next, come the tag..

When I see the tag, it reminds me of the winning ribbon

you get in the horse-racing or any other competitions..

Nice designs.. :D

As promised above, I'll tell you a bit about the story behind their names. When I was younger, I used to read Mangas *comic books from Japan*. And there is this one great book about horse-racing, called 'Syphid'. Basically, it is the story about a white horse named Sylphid trying to win the important races in Japan despite his weaknesses. And Max is Sylphid's greatest rival. It's a good story and also touching.. :) That's why the first time I saw these two horses, they immediately remind me of Max and Sylphid.. Haha..

Okay, let's move on.. The horses are ready to run..

On your mark..

Get set...

Go!!!

And there they run as fast as the wind.. ;)

Have a nice week ahead!! :) Btw, do check my previous post on White Collection. Due to blogger errors, it was removed temporarily and was restored only last night. So just in case you haven't seen it, do check it out. ;)
