JULIP

1/12th scale Latex and soft plastic model horses and accessories. The company was started in London in 1945 by Lavender Dower, an artist who produced chamois leather characters and animals.  Soon after, the medium changed to latex and concentrated on horses.

Lavender sold the business in 1965 to Mr. and Mrs. Heath who revamped the range. The business changed hands a couple more times until Annabel Levaux bought Julip in 1984 and introduced the soft plastic 'Horse of the Year' range in 1989. 

In late 2013 the Julip 'brand' was split into two different companies, with the Julip Originals side now owned by Laura Ibbitt and Annebel retaining the Julip Horses Ltd company who produced of the 'HOTY' range. The HOTY range is now believed to be discontinued.

Latex Julip model horses are still made  - contact Julip Originals for more details. http://www.juliporiginals.co.uk
