Description: The old Breyer jumping horse has always been one of my favorite molds, so I was excited to get to customize one! He didn't like hanging out on his wall any more, so I decided to let him fly. The socket in his belly for the wall has been filled in and sanded; seams and logo have been removed, ears, mouth and nostrils are carved. I also filled in that overly deep divot in his chest and repaired his tail which had been broken when I got him. I resculpted his stallion parts as well.
He's been painted in earth pigments and acrylics to a gorgeous liver chestnut with a broad blaze and four stockings, and mottling over his stallion parts. His wings are real ring-necked pheasant wings; pheasants are not native to the U.S. and are legal to hunt. He has two eye hooks set into his back with a hand-braided cord through them; I recommend hanging him from a pair of plant hanger hooks in the ceiling to keep him from spinning around.
He measures 14" long, 21" wide and 7 1/2" tall. The wings do not move; they're held in place with epoxy putty and wire, and with care will last for many years. Also, as the wings came from an animal that lives free-range they are a bit ruffled here and there, but are lovely nonetheless.
Please note he is not LSQ; there are some minor flaws in plastic and paint. He is also NOT a toy; the wings are very fragile. He is, however, a lovely art piece for your home!
