What a thoughtful and caring gift from her heart. She must really think a lot of you to part with such treasures.
Oh I have never seen ones like these before, how neat to receive them as a cherished gift from someone you love. Luanne
Wow...it would be hard to give away something as treasured as those horse heads. Espisially when it's a family hierloom!
aww those are pretty. What a nice friend. I love old horse sculptures and stuff. I have this plate my neighbors across the road gave me. They used to have horses. They started out with 20 acres of fenced in land and a trailer in the middle as their home. They said every morning the horses would bang on their windows for breakfast. She cried too when she gave me some of her old horse stuff then seen me using a lead rope one day.
What a wonderful gift
It's very special that she would give these to you. She must think YOU are pretty special. She thinks right!
Wow, what a wonderful gift! They are beautiful.
How nice of her! And an extra special gift because it was something so treasured by her. That must have really touched you.
Those are absolutely beautiful! What a wonderful gift!! I am sure your friend is happy they are with someone who will truly appreciate them............
I remember when she gave those to you, I am still surprised she parted with them. She must have known how much they would mean to you! You know I have dibs on the Palomino! :)
*sniff-sniff*
Such a sweet loving story of abiding, generous friendship. :)

I love those horse heads!
That is really sweet that she did that for you. I like those horse heads, if PG gets the Palomino do I get the other one?
Those are the best kind of gifts, receiving something that meant so much to the person giving it. Better than store bought.
The most cherished gifts are those that have a personal attachment and what a sweet and beautiful gift!
what a special gift, and your friend will now be part of you.. every time you look at the China ponies..
you are a lucky girl!
