Thank you SO much for all the helpful`advice folks

I will do the washing up liquid trick for sure. I'm sure the horse will look spick and span after that!

Dims, as much as i'm sure you would love him i can't sell it. My OH would sell our wee boy first

I was actually thinking of you Dims while i was looking through the attic, it is a real treasure trove where horse ornaments are concerned and i knew you would love them. The story behind having so many was (it must be over thirty items) that whenever my OH's late mum lost a horse, be it a racehorse, broodmare, donkey or an old wee pony she always bought a nice horse piece to put on her mantle to remind her of them. I always thought that was a nice touch.

The Lladro was bought to remind her of her nice but nutty mare, Lake Constance who won the Pretty Polly Stakes. She bred from her, sold her and then when she was retired as a broodmare she was bought back from England to live out her days here. An equine love affair that FORBIDS me to sell the Lladro :lol:

Again, many thanks to all.
