When Ty Beanie Babies became a fad, I, like my friends, became an obsessed collector. Derby the horse is just one of many in my collection, but one of my favorites. There are several versions of Derby. This particular one is the second generation of Derby's (the first one had fine hair and no star, later ones have stars and coarse hair, and the 2.0s look much more real than ragdoll-like). According to AboutBeanies.com, Derbys were first released on June 3, 1995 and retired on May 26, 1999. This particular generation was retired on December 15, 1997. The new, more realistic Derbys began to be released in 2006. My Derby's birthday is September 16, 1995.
His poem goes like this:
All the other horses used to tattle
Because Derby never wore his saddle
He left the stables, and the horses too
Just so Derby can be with you!
