Make that 109

I found the missing Eire and Rosemary!

And a, "What on earth is that?" box. Navigator?? Who is that?

I could tell from the box that it was a 2023 BreyerFest Stablemate but I had no idea what I'd find inside.

Navigator is lovely.

I had to go back through my blog to figure out how this piece landed in my collection. 

He is back in his box again and all those other boxed Stablemates are now neatly stacked in the curio cabinet. The rest of the Stablemates are still scattered across the table in my office.

Eire and Rosemary were already tallied in yesterday's count of 108 Stablemates; adding in Navigator brings my collection count to 109.

But there are some more "Tiny" pieces that I have not included in the count.

My Hartland Tinymites. I have 8 of those but I don't consider those Stablemates. 
 

The Tinymites are about a decade older than the Stablemates - I got mine around 1968.

They are a smaller scale than the Stablemates.

Plus, if I were to include them, then I'd really need to include the Hagen Renaker minis in the count.

They came before both the Tinymites and Stablemates, and as most collectors know, the original Stablemates were Hagen Renaker mini molds.

So, for now, the three are all considered separate collections within the collection. (Although now I am wondering just how many Hagen Renaker mini horses and ponies I have...)

More BreyerFest Limited Editions are being announced this week. Stay 'tooned!
