Model Horse Collecting For All Horse Lovers

When I was growing up every Christmas I asked for a horse.  Of course coming from working class parents I NEVER got one.  Duha!

Through the world of model horse collecting horse lovers can learn more about their favorite animal.

Model Horse Collecting Basics can be found at this web link.  There are several companies that create these collectible "toys" in a variety of sizes.  The most noted are two giants in the industry.  Peter S. Stone, creator of Stone Horses

and Breyer Horses.

Model horses come in any variety of sizes and breeds and colors.  You could spend a happy collecting career just pursuing all your favorite breeds of horse in all your favorite colors and innumerable poses.

It can get quite insane!!!

However, you can take the hobby several steps farther.  You can continue to pursue your interests into the show ring.Model Horse Showing

There is the halter division for all those bare beautiful models in all their infinite breeds and colors and positions.  Or you can purchase/ make tack, equipment, props and begin to build scenes to pose your models in for various "show" classes.  Anything you might see in real life is fair game with very meticulous rules for performance....just like real horse shows.  Shows can be live where you attend and place your model on the tables with others or they can be photo where you send in pictures.  Infinite variety.
