Don't forget to check out the Second Nuzzling Page for all the horses from 2000 and beyond!
The magic of these sets come from tiny magnets. Each horse came with food - carots, hay - that had a small magnet embedded in it; when brought up to horse's nose, another magnet made the head swing up - nuzzleing the food! And of course, bring two horses together, and they nuzzle each other. Awww.... :)
The Stallions Sets for 1997: From left to right they are: Throuroughbred: "Carbaret",
The Mares and foals for 1997: They are: the Paints ~
I have also heard from a few sources that the palomino Mustangs are also called "Maravilla & Melcocha", but these are actually a different set. They are very simmiliar in colouring.
The Nuzzling Horses for 1998:
At long last, here's the most requested page - the Feed 'n' Nuzzle sets! To be completely honest, when they first came out, I was sure they'd die out pretty fast... but I was wrong. Each year brings a new set of these playful horses, each more lovely then the last!
These are among the first of the Feed 'N' Sets. They came with a food bucket, blanket and lead.
Appaloosa: "Apple Pie",
Paint: "Camouflage",
and Mustang: "Wildfire".
These are the Mares and foals, each made to match the stallions. They also come with food, blankets, and a lead rope for mom.
"Dusty & Stardust",
Mustangs ~
"Sunflower & Wildflower" ,
Thoroughbreds ~
"Bluegrass & Kentucky Son"
and Appaloosas ~
"Showgirl & Trickster".

Standardbred: "First Class & Classy Lady",

The Nuzzling Horses for 1999:
Like most of the '99 horses, these guys didn't come with biocards outside of the US, so I don't know any of their names! They are also odd colours, simplified version of what you might find in other years, which was another '99 trait. From left to right -

Light Grey Trakehners -"Saproano & Fortissimo" Dark Grey Irish Drafts Horses - "Laughing Lass & Lazarus" Black Tennessee Walkers - "Bette Blue & Bugle Boy" Chestnut Anglo-Arabian - "Wild Honey & Wild Oats"
The Stallions look exactly the same as their mare & foal. The Irish Draught is named "Titan", and the Tenessee Walker is "Midnight" Thanks to Jitske for the pictures of her stallions!

Nuzzling Families
Like all Grand Champions, Nuzzling horses had families too. Each came with a Stallion, Mare, Foal, who could nibble at thier food, or nuzzle each other :) The horses above where released first in 1997. Do note that some of them look *quite* different from thier promo pictures... the black Morgans are the same horses pictured at the top of the page, and the Akhal-tekes are the same family pictured at the bottom.
