Is this confirmed where the petit h event will be next? How long is the event going to be? Thank you.
It appears to be it will be a Petit H store, remodelling work is being done inside the building. It doesn't look like it will be just an event.
I got more info today: an SA told me that the Petit H store in Rome on Via Dei Condotti will be a temporary store and it will be open for three months: April, May and June.

the price however is not as cute
Super cute indeed! But u can buy 10000 ponies for that money LOL [emoji23][emoji23]
If they made a "miniature version" (and of course the price needs to be a lot less steep), I would totally go for it. It is just so darling!
I agree that Marly is low maintenance compared to a real horse. From where I live, the starting price of a pony is about 1000 USD, but it would cost more to take care of the pony. If you don't have your own stable, the cost of boarding is about 300-500 USD per month. Food would be about 100 USD per month, and shoeing will be about 100 USD every two months. Medical treatment is typically about 300 USD per year if your pony is healthy and only needs vaccines and routine check ups. If unfortunately the pony is sick or injured, the cost can be in the thousands. The cost of Marly can buy a decent pony and raise it to the age of 24, however, the average life span of a pony is about 25-30 years, which means if you do get a pony, it will eventually cost more than Marly.
In contrast, Marly is adorable, worry free (doesn't bite, doesn't poop, and doesn't need vet visits), and potentially can be a lovely family heirloom, so I would say get Marly!
Indeed! Marly is such a beauty!
My friend who was lucky enough to attend the petit H event in NYC told me the story behind the making of Marly. She said that this piece was actually molded from a real pony. Something about how they brought in the animal to drape the leather on it, then cut the leather according to the curves of the body. They had to do it quickly because obviously you can not ask the pony to stand still all the time. In the original design, the mane was supposed to be in a different color but it didn't work out too well, so eventually they decided to do the same color for the entire horse to let the beautiful shape and the draping leather to be the main focus.
I was hoping they would leave Marly in the store as a permanent display....
Oh well, I hope she finds a lovely home soon!

Well to be fair there are some horses who command quite a bit more than even 130k as a purchase price. My two girls (mom and daughter) were not that much by any stretch. My mare is the mom to my 10 month old filly. Breeding the filly was quite costly.
But still even at over $850.00 a month for board, vet care, etc - it would take me quite awhile to come close to Marley's purchase price. And Marley definitely wouldn't give such sweet kisses as my girls do.
Edited: meant Marley wouldn't give sweet kisses to me like my girls do
