Jan found an old horse in Mary's Barbie castle, and wondered if he was maybe the right size for my dolls. I think he's a touch too small, but I took a few photos anyways. Both girls are nice and warm in their comfy sweaters, as "summer" seems to have come and gone - not that I mind this much cooler weather. In fact I prefer it. "Would you like some carrots?" I need to make Lonnie her own sweater, but for now she's borrowing one from the younger girls. Our road trip is coming up fast, so I think I need to switch priorities and focus on finishing the doll clothes and props I'm going to need. After all, it's more important to have my dolls ready for photos on a trip I'll probably never take again, than it is for me to have a whole wardrobe of nice new shirts. I can work on those right up to the time we leave, but if I don't get done, it's not like going on vacation wearing some ragged worn clothes is going to turn heads in the wilderness of Newfoundland - well maybe some moose, but they charge off into the woods the second they see a camera come out anyways. And if we should encounter any breaching whales, they aren't above the water long enough to notice. I need to get my priorities straight - dolls first - me second. The dolls need sweaters, lobster traps, fishing poles and nets. I bought a package of styrofoam balls to make into "floats". Better get busy!

Check out the horses made for American Girl dolls. AG girls are 18 inches tall, so much of their stuff works with MSD and smaller dolls. Their horses are 19 inches tall, and there's a filly at 13 1/2 inches tall.

Thanks, I have. I especially like the Battat horses. Unfortunately most cost more to ship that the horse itself, and most people who are selling one won't ship to Canada. I understand Walmart in the US sometimes carries them, so next time we go on a road trip to the US I'll have to check out the toy section in a Walmart.
