Mongolia specialises in livestock raising so has issued some fine stamps of horses, sheep and cattle. This set of Young Animals was issued in 1982, and costs £0.90 for the set of eight mint stamps.
These 11 horse stamps depict the very varied roles of horses across the world. Here are a 1975 Barbados pony float, Czech steeplechasers, 1979 Finnish horses being fed by brownies in a cold northern winter, and two Fujeiran mint stamps showing paintings of classy riding horses in a hot southern country.
The 1978 German stamp shows another painting of a fine horse. Then horses take tourists along a beach in this 1979 Jamaican stamp. Across the Atlantic, we have a Mosotho horseman on a 1976 Lesotho stamp.
Centuries separate the stylised representation of horses on the 1976 New Zealand Health stamps and the Swedish Gottland picture, yet they are similar in design. Many of these stamps have quite high catalogue values. Price for the 11 stamps is £0.95.
Horses are part of the mythology of the Australian outback, a mythology reflected in this selection of Australian outback horse stamps, at £0.25 for the five stamps.

This set of four large stamps came out in 1972, and show horses in what appears to be an English country setting. The set is CTO and costs £0.65. The stamps are joined, and most still have the white border beyond the perforations. I am charging the same for sets with or without the border. Please let me know if you would like the border.
1972 Horses
This set of six studies of horses heads is available CTO and costs £0.85. These stamps are still joined together, and cost £1.50 for the six. Some of the sets have been folded along the perforations for storage, but otherwise they are in excellent condition.

Ordering stamps:
Please allow £0.95 (95p) if you come from anywhere in Europe, and £1.50 if orders are to be sent elsewhere. The postage charge is the same however many stamps you buy. This means that it's cheaper to buy more than one stamp, because the cost of packaging and postage is less per stamp. This reflects the time spent ensuring that the stamps are packed so that they arrive to you safely - it takes about the same time for one stamp as for larger orders.
Your stamps will be sent as soon as I receive payment. You can return the stamps and obtain a refund if they are not what you expected. Paypal is preferred, though other forms of payment can be negotiated. Euros are welcome as well as pound sterling.
