Horse sprue.
Not really much else to say about it, I just think that's neat.
Is it weird I see 2004 and think, oh that’s recent, when it fact it was 16 years ago!
$47/£29.99 for that? Dang, specialized parts can hurt in lots of ways.
Those Belville sets are so weird. But I'd like to have one of them.
We are getting similar looking sets with Friends theme today and they certainly made an impact.
It's more like a Riding Wall, or a Riding Shed or something, really, isn't it?
The single piece walls, roof and pillars remind me of Duplo. Strangely they do not appear in any inventories. For the price I can see why it did not do well at the time, just needed to wait for the friends heartlake riding school 41126 with more substantial stables.

Just means you’re getting old, dude. Welcome to the party.
This was the worst era of Belville. Shame because figs get better.
This set includes a cart full of road apples. That about says it all, right there.
The horse has a roof, why not the classroom? School funding is REALLY lacking.
Belville had some pretty neat looking animal molds, and this set has two horses, and one cat. It's a pretty neat parts pack, if you ask me.
