This #ModelHorseMonday is about this lovely girl I found at an antique shop. She's a #HagenRenaker mini Percheron (tail down). I believe this particular girl is from the later end of the run in the mid-1960s, from the San Dimas factory, but I'm not 100% sure. She was only produced by HR in two colors, white and a rare dapple gray, and then a limited run was produced in black by #HagenRenakerTennessee for the collector's club in 2019. She was sculpted and designed by #MaureenLove She's one of the molds that #Breyer licensed from HR, and produced in plastic in various colors from the mid-1970s until 2009, and then again from 2014-2017. My girl also brought some friends home with her. The dinosaurs are bone china, made in Japan, but I can't find anything about when, or who the company was. I know they made a few more species though. I found a photo of a matching Triceratops, Stegosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus Rex. The horse is less than 3 inches tall, so the dinosaurs are maybe an inch and a half. . . . . . #ClinkyHorse #PorcelainHorse #ChinaHorse #ChinaModelHorse #ClinkyModelHorse https://www.instagram.com/p/CTgWcO0LWna/?utm_medium=tumblr

This #ModelHorseMonday we're featuring Fireheart! He's such a big, handsome boy, and I can't wait to see him in a million colors. Though it's hard to go wrong with the nice palomino for his debut. Mine has nice shading and subtle dapples. Other than a bit of overspray on his mane, he's really nice. He's meant to be a mustang, but he looks like he'll work as a number of different crossbreeds, which is exciting for both color and performance options. Fingers crossed that @breyermodelhorsesofficial makes him into a unicorn and/or Christmas horse. It's almost a certainty that mini Fireheart will get the unicorn treatment. That's right, mini Fireheart is the bonus Stablemate for the Premier Club! Embarrassment of riches this year. #BreyerHorses #ModelHorse #PremierClub #BreyerPremierClub #Fireheart #BreyerFireheart #RayvinMaddock https://www.instagram.com/p/CRiHXqhLM9D/?utm_medium=tumblr

This #ModelHorseMonday is for the horse ancestors. This little #eohippus resin I'm painting is Traditional scale, but that means he's the same size as a Stablemate. So small and cute! #InstagramInProgress #PrehistoricHorse #ExtinctAnimals #MikeEischen #PaleoSculpture #Paleoart https://www.instagram.com/p/CROm034LqGg/?utm_medium=tumblr
