Circus Horse

My mom picked up this "The Greatest Show on Earth" circus horse yesterday. It instantly reminded me of the the Circus Horse Toy that is a knock off of the Western Horse/Pony Mold in a very similar mold to the Breyer Western Horse. This particular guy reminds me of the Breyer Chris Hess Five Gaiter because he is in the same pose, although he does not have a strikingly similar appearance compared to the Western Horse one.

A Breyer Five Gaiter compared to the circus horse.

Poor Circus horse at some point lost the feather that was supposed to be on his head.

"Toy" horses like this also help you appreciate the beauty and amount of work that the artists put into into in the molds for Breyer horses. 

That tail makes me think this guy could be a cousin to Khemosabi.

For now I'm going to keep this goofy looking guy/gal, with its noodle mane, teapot handle tail, and in-the-middle-of-the-belly saddle girth. The goofy and shiny factor of this model are just too fun.
