Two completely new farm animals were available from May/June of 1966 - the Suffolk Mare and Highland Steer. The only other new addition that year was a useful Show Jumping Fence Set, to expand the popular Riding Series. Further casualties this year included 1720 Pack of Wattle Hurdles, 1721 Pig Trough and 2279 Cocks and Hens. The Farm Rake 9506 was also deleted at the end of the year to leave four of the traditional horse drawn vehicles remaining.
