That sounds like maybe you had the Laurel Burch horses... can't remember what the name of the collection was, but they were gorgeous and bright and came in a "vivid" colorway and a "smoky" one.
Yes, that's exactly right! Several stores I called (here in OR) to see if they had the parts of the collection I needed told me they had ordered more of the "smoky" one because that's what a lot of people were buying, and I thought, "Humm, maybe it's the Oregon rainy weather influence, LOL! (Oh, I really AM a proud native Oregonian - LOL!) But, generally, I love bright colors and lots of light!
