Sindy’s riding outfits & horses: 1983

For a closer look at The Little Sindy Museum’s riding outfits and horses, click on an image below.

After the great 1982 this year (1983) “only” had three news, the riding outfits Pony Rider 44011 and the stylish Dressage 44133 and also the little accessories Scensetters assortment A: Ridning set 44383. Scroll down for more information.

In 1983 Sindy got a new Super Home! A very clever idea where you could buy different parts for your house now and then.

The best part was of course the Stable/Garage, 44433, part with real stable doors that could be open on the top half only, as well as like a normal door.

There were no more new horse related items shown i this year’s brochure. But in 1983 all the packaging got a new design: the horisontell lined ones with the “attached” Sindy tag. The horse related items also got Equestrian as head line and the little logotype of a horse head this year.

This is how last years new items looked with this years new package design.

The ordinary brown horse is now called Chestnut Horse and is a somewhat in between horse, with the same horse body as the one first sold in 1977 but with the 1984 box name: Chestnut Horse.

As you can see, the horse that would be released the year after, the 1984 Chestnut Horse was completely new, with a poseable neck! And to make everything even more confusing Pedigree called it Chestnut Horse on the box but in the 1984 brochure it was called Poseable Horse 44251…

Sadly TLSM has not been able to find any picture of the new striped box, for the Horsebox 44580. If you have a photo of one please get in touch with TLSM! Until then this is how it looked in 1982.

In the 1983 International brochure there was a Western page with coral coloured stripes. With my kind of logic I would have kept the dark green colour as the Equestrian had but I have noticed over and over again that Pedigree have a completely different sense of logic than I do, lol.
