I Got Sultanna & Two Socks!

My Vintage Club Poppy and Ollie shipped on November 25, the day after Thanksgiving. Day after day, though, I got this message when I checked the tracking for them.


Finally after twelve days and no changes in status, I called Breyer and asked if they would check on my order. Their explanation didn't make sense to me, but I was just out of the hospital and still recovering from those high doses of IV meds and a little muddled.

A box appeared the very next day - Poppy and Ollie were finally here! I was hoping for the alabaster set (it was a gambler's choice) but the models on the box were all bay, the color I really did not care for.


When I pulled them out of the box, I could see through the bubble wrap that clearly these were not alabaster. I was a little disappointed, but were they bay or were they palomino?


So. Hard. To. Tell!


PALOMINO! And I instantly fell in love - they were beautiful in that colorway.


And when I turned the foal around to inspect her face,

that star on her forehead looked just like Two Socks'!

So, of course they have been named Sultanna and Two Socks!
