I can help with info and pics xxx

That would be cool! There isn't much out about them. I know they bugged me when I was looking for my Little Beauties Carrousel horses, though! Everyone thought that I was talking about the Matchbox ones! :o

I can't really see the logo... but this pic I saved from eBay awhile back is the carousel, right?
-
There are a few pages on them but I just went to look at my favorite guide and it's gone now :(
I wish I had saved the pics or something. I don't think ahead like you zuse ;)
-
A bunch of sites I really really liked are gone now. Back in the day when I had better manners I only stole pictures from eBay. All these sites had little "Copyright" disclaimers at the bottom. And now they're gone. I wish I'd saved them so I could have at least posted a mirror one or something to be an archive. A lot of them apparently didn't get picked up by archive.org in time...
-
I just found a guide to these with lots of pictures if anyone's interested:

More pics: (I never realized that there was a charm bracelet and you received a charm with each horse you bought...)

Thanks I will have to keep my eyes out for these at the local flea market.
-
I have the carousel, the poster, and one horse (my carousel is rather empty). I had a charm once (that came with my horse, Wild Flower), but I lost it. The carousel is supposed to come with a horse, but someone had opened all of the boxes at the TRU I bought it from and stolen the horses. I was not happy about that.
I wish my poster still looked as nice as the one pictured, lol. I used to look at it for hours, imagining all the pretty horses.
I have wanted to buy more, but they are so hard to come by, and when I do find them, they go for way more then I can afford.
-
wow now i want this set if i ever find any but what a lovely gallery of photos now i will know what i am looking at if i ever see any.
-
As far as I can tell these are all the horses - if ive missed any please let me know as this is my definitive list that i originally got from carsthetoys forum a while ago

Rocking Horses
Rosegay
Finesse
Damasque
3 confirmed horses featured on a new, tippy base. It is always an ominous sign when the set numbers drop like this. It usually means the brand is on its way out. These were unique colored horses, and for the first time there was even a brown one (with socks!). They came with a huge, curved thing that allowed them to tip.
and dont forget the swan carridge -

Those are so pretty. Me wants!
-
Wow these are beautiful must resist buying ....... :o
-
I wasn't even aware there was a swan! How neat! Do you know what horses came with it? And does anyone know what the special horse that came with the carousel was? As I mentioned earlier, mine was missing the horse when I bought it at the store.
Does anyone know what is up with that black Twilight on the Fashion Parade card in zuse's post? If that is a variant, how many more could possibly exist?!
(sorry about all the questions >_<)
-
As far as i can tell with the twilight colourings is one was for usa and one was for europe but not sure how guarenteed that is.
i have racked my brains for hours trying to remember the names of the horses that come with swan but i fear my memory is playing up as every horse name i look at i think hmm maybe that was it. i will remember or find the info dont worry lol
-
Raindrop came with the carousel :) and Sunshine with the 5 horse stand
-
Went on a little mission today - my post has been editted to add more pictures of the horses. xxx
-
After doing some more research I now know why 100% their are two twilights. One was an original classic horse (purple white tail) whilst the other was a fashion parade horse (black body)
think its really odd that their is a name repeat in the series though very very weird!
cant find anything else at all - as you all know info on these horses is very few and far between on the internet so if anyone else knows as to why the same name was used for two different sets please let me know.
Oh and I also think thats why maybe Dancer from fashion parade was never confirmed maybe the black twilight was suppose to be called dancer? dunno speculating now! lol xxx

Can you tell im slightly addicted?

After doing some more research I now know why 100% their are two twilights. One was an original classic horse (purple white tail) whilst the other was a fashion parade horse (black body)
think its really odd that their is a name repeat in the series though very very weird!
cant find anything else at all - as you all know info on these horses is very few and far between on the internet so if anyone else knows as to why the same name was used for two different sets please let me know.
Oh and I also think thats why maybe Dancer from fashion parade was never confirmed maybe the black twilight was suppose to be called dancer? dunno speculating now! lol xxx
Yeah, I saw that the package said Fashion Parade... but I wonder if that might have just been a boxing mistake? The odd black Twilight doesn't fit in with the Fashion Parade horses at all. Technically, he doesn't really fit any of the sets that were released. Not completely, anyway.
In fact, it's possible that the black horse's name isn't even Twilight... maybe they didn't have a name for him, and they just grabbed an extra Twilight base or something?
Ooh, maybe he was a prototype of a horse, and he somehow accidentally got packaged?!
Hmmm... perhaps we will never really know!
Whoever he is, and however many of him there are... I want one! He is gorgeous. :)
-
i thought about that, maybe he wasnt boxed but the seller put him in a box she had from another horse and thought that was his name - i have seen name mistakes for them on ebay quite often lately so that wouldnt suprise me and your 100% right he may be wrong, he may be a completely different horse that goes by another name but i want him!!! lopl xxx

yeah love that site but some of the names are wrong and not all are listed sadly xxx
-
Oh aww. I stumbled on it by accident, and not knowing anything about the line, thought it looked complete. :)
-Em
-
If you still need pictures I have both Morning Glow and Moonlight.
-
Post them pics :) xxx
-
OK, looking at all the horses I have mixed up the name plates so I am not sure which is which for some of them.
I'll have to take a group shot and then whoever knows can work out which is Morning Glow and which is Moonlight from that!
-
Are you still after pics? I've got Harmony at home.
-
OK, I got all of these horses for the same Christmas one year, and they've been mixed and matched ever since.
I cannot remember all of the names - mostly because the carousel name plates are different - but I know some of these are definitely right - let me know which ones are wrong!

Hope this helps!

*drools , oh my I have something new to collect! XD I love carousel horses, history, etc.

I've been meaning to post some pictures here for ages. I own one of the posters (I think it was part of the promotional poster giveaway mentioned on some of the packages). There were two posters, you have an image of one and I have the other one. Because it's large (and my camera doesn't work) I've scanned each section so you can see what horses and animals were included on the poster.
(http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o28/shipsnceilingwax/carousel.jpg)
The carousel, with a horse included - Raindrop. Raindrop came with either a gold or blue name stand (I don't know why, but I've seen both colours).
(http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o28/shipsnceilingwax/stand.jpg)
The five horse stand, with a horse included - Sunshine.
(http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o28/shipsnceilingwax/giftpack.jpg)
A 'gift set', included in this one were Dawnlight, Morning Glow and Moonlight (I think). I think there must have been other three packs though.
(http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o28/shipsnceilingwax/swanset.jpg)
The swan chariot gift pack with Harmony, the swan and Starr (left to right). The swan seems to be a prototype, as the gorgeous little crystals on her wings and base were not used in the released version.
(http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o28/shipsnceilingwax/fashionparade.jpg)
Fashion parade horses - Hopper, Frisco, Goodie.
(http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o28/shipsnceilingwax/fashionbrightbeauties.jpg)
Fashion parade and Bright Beauties - Ribbon, Royal, Sunset and Starry
(http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o28/shipsnceilingwax/brightfancytrotters.jpg)
Bright Beauties and Fancy Trotters - Sunbeam, Lavender, Jazma and Rosette
(http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o28/shipsnceilingwax/animals.jpg)
The animals - Cameo, Misty, Frosty, Topaz, Camelot, Moonbeam, Rudy, Diamond
(http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o28/shipsnceilingwax/rockinghorses.jpg)
The rocking horses - Damasque, Rosegay and Finesse
(http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o28/shipsnceilingwax/classichorses.jpg)
The classic horses - Misty Meadow, Silver Dawn, Honeycup, Twilight, Snowflake, Daydream, Shadow, Wildflower, Starbright.
From looking at the list of horses' names that we know, it looks like Sunburst from the Classic Horses was not released (I haven't been able to find any actual images of that horse, only prototype photos).
I was lucky enough to have been given the carousel when I was a child and I still have it. I remember when I got the carousel that it came with a sheet of stickers that had the horses' names on them so you could give them each a place on the carousel. My mother and I put the stickers on for all the animals that we could but there were three that we owned that did not have name stickers - the two horses from the swan chariot gift pack (and the swan of course) Starr and Harmony (we settled with Starbright and Halo) and the rocking horse Finesse (we settled for Topaz). It seems odd that they would not include these names on the sticker sheet. I would dearly love to see that sheet again. Perhaps that was just the case for the earlier carousels? Perhaps the later ones included all the horses' names?
Does anyone else have a carousel from their childhood and did they experience a similar dilemma?

Hi all, I am putting together the carousel and horses for my girlfriends birthday as she has spoken about this toy that she had when she was a girl. I finally worked it out and it turns out it was the matchbox carousel collection. i have it 99% complete but am missing 4 or 5 mirrors from the top of the carousel and 4 or 5 of the heart shaped and jeweled pieces from around the top. Anyone know where I could get some of those? Am happy to pay for them and postage. Any help or information would be great and make for one happy girlfriend.
Cheers

These look perfect for a carousel maniac like me. :D Does anyone know in which countries these were sold? Can I find these in europe?
-
Can anyone shed light on why the original 16 horses were available with both coloured and gold bases?
It looks like they were all originally produced in gold, then painted over, the coloured ones have very faint registration/company markings. Was it possible they coloured the bases once they introduced the animals/fashion etc line?
I also seem to have a brown Wildflower.
Wait! Sussed it. Coloured bases are the second run of the first 16 with the plastic poles.
-
I have also now come to the conclusion that Starbright/Starburst are the same horse - I have never ever seen a confirmed Starburst (one, without base, which looked the same as Starbright) and shall assume that it was a name they thought of and then changed.
-
Lovely, like it.
