The Collector

Kelly in PITTSBURGH writes: "...Dear Chris, As a fan of your show and model horse collecting, I thought I would send you pics of my collection. There are 1800 of them, mostly from Breyer, who is also Colty's manufacturer. Colty is #219 "Proud Arabian Foal" in mahogany bay sold from 1973-1980.  Colty's legal! Pervy can have his way with her!  My friends and I have also written a value guide for Colty and her friends published by Collector Books.  More than you probably ever wanted to know! Sincerely, Kelly."

Plastic Horses

Brandy Lynn from LOS ANGELES went to the Pasadena Rose Bowl Flea Market recently. She came across a vendor moving a shipment of plastic horses. She writes: "... Didn't know that you were holding Colty 2.0 auditions at the Pasadena Rose Bowl Flea Market this weekend. From the looks of things, you had quite a turn out. Brandy Lynn, 33teen, Los Angeles."

The Childrun

Amanda 36teen writes: "...Dear Chris,  I am a preschool teacher who keeps a multitude of plastic horses in the classroom at all times. Children love them. Sometimes their love is a bit too much. Four of my horses are missing their left ear, one lost it's tail in a freak bending incident and another recently lost a chunk of tail and leg. Just today they had a lovely time staging a performance. Because deformed animals are cute. Amanda OROGAWN."
