Description: Breyer Horse Model #103 Appaloosa Quarter Horse Yearling Circa: 1976 About the Breyer Horse Model #103 The earliest Quarter Horse Yearling models have only the round "Breyer Molding Co." mold stamp. In 1971 or 1972 the "U.S.A." mold stamp was added, and some of these also have the "B" stamp. The Quarter Horse Yearling was sculpted by Chris Hess The Quarter Horse The Quarter Horse name is derived from the breed’s ability to outrun other horse breeds in races of a quarter mile or less. Some horses have been clocked at speeds up to 55 mph (88.5 km/h). The History of the Appaloosa: In North America, the Nez Perce people of what today is the United States Pacific Northwest, developed the original American breed. Settlers once referred to these spotted horses as the "Palouse horse", possibly after the Palouse River, which ran through the heart of Nez Perce country. Gradually, the name evolved into Appaloosa. The Nez Perce lost most of their horses after the Nez Perce War in 1877, when the horses were shot and killed. The breed fell into decline for several decades. A small number of dedicated breeders preserved the Appaloosa as a distinct breed until the Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) was formed as the breed registry in 1938. The modern breed maintains bloodlines tracing to the foundation bloodstock of the registry; its partially open stud book allows the addition of some Thoroughbred, American Quarter Horse and Arabian blood. Today, the Appaloosa is one of the most popular breeds in the United States; it was named the official state horse of Idaho in 1975. It is best known as a stock horse used in a number of western riding disciplines, but is also a versatile breed with representatives seen in many other types of equestrian activity. Appaloosas have been used in many movies; an Appaloosa is a mascot for the Florida State Seminoles. Condition: This item is in very good vintage condition. Track Page Views WithAuctiva's Counter
