Prototype 1984 horse
Found one of my white whales recently: A prototype 1984 horse! The prototype had rings around the eyes, perhaps an artifact from before it had prints. According to the designer, Niels Milan Pedersen, some of the first horses to be produced in Billund apparently also had a ring around the eyes because they accidentally approved the prototype mould for production instead of the one without rings!
This particular horse is a bit yellowed and battle damaged, as the saddle used to be glued to it but was ripped off by the person who found it, but is overall in good shape.
