Horse Collection: Horses in space and time

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.
