Schleich Horse Club: which horse and stable first?

What is Schleich Horse Club?

Horse Club is the horse world of Schleich. It has single horse figures in many breeds, as stallion, mare or foal, plus riders, stables, trailers and large buildings such as a riding centre and a riding arena.

The horses are sold one by one, and the sets come with their own horses and figures. So a collection grows step by step: first a horse, then a stable, later a trailer.

Single Schleich horses

The cheapest start is one horse, such as the Friesian stallion (13975) or the Andalusian stallion (13821). Many breeds come as stallion, mare and foal, so children can put together a small horse family.

There are also collectible foals such as Ruby (81480) and the Sofia's Beauties series, with horses whose mane and tail you can brush and style. Single horses are usually in the up to €15 budget.

The first set: horse with rider or horse box

A set with a rider and a horse such as Lisa & Storm (42712) comes with a figure that can ride straight away. A horse box such as the horse box with mare and foal (42611) gives the horses a place. You usually find such sets in the €15 to €30 and €30 to €60 budgets.

The next step is a stable such as the Little Horseshoe open stable (42703), which the horses the child already has can move into too.

Riding centre, arena and horse transporter

The large Horse Club sets are whole places to play: the riding centre (42567), the Peppertree riding arena (42639) or the horse hospital (42787). The horse transporter (42619) takes the horses from one place to the next.

Many of these sets are in the from €60 budget and suit a present the family gives together. Check the product page for the horses and figures in the box.

What about Playmobil horses?

Playmobil has its own horse world, Horses of Waterfall, with newer sets under the name Playmobil Horses. There, Playmobil figures, buildings and accessories are the focus; at Schleich it is the horse figure itself. Which brand suits better is in the guide Playmobil or Schleich.

What to check before you buy

Check the age on the box: Schleich gives 5 to 12 years for Horse Club, and some sets differ. Many sets contain small accessories that do not belong in a toddler's hands.
