Playful foals
Where there's mares and stallions, there has to be playful foals running around, and as expected, Bullyland have released a number of them too.
You'll first notice that most Bullyland foals relate to a mare or stallion of the same breed in the series, so there's an option to match up a foal with the mare or stallion, or both.
We've counted eleven foals currently available, they are all in playful poses, and mostly colour coordinated to the adult horse, with one or two supporting there own colours.
Bullyland foals can only be used as standalone, whereby they play around the mare or stallion, but the can't be ridden so there's no foals with saddles.
