Breyer Horses Traditional Series | Orren Mixer | Pony of The Americas Club | Horse Figurine | 11.5" L X 8.5" H | Model #1883, Brown

The Ideal Series – Pony of the AmericasFormed in 1954, the Pony of the Americas Club, Inc (POAC) was created by breed founder Les Boomhower to promote a “using type” pony for youth. His vision of a child-sized mount that possessed versatility, intelligence, and beautifully-patterned coats has blossomed into a registry of over 50,000! Ranging in height from 46 to 56 inches, POAs have a balanced appearance and Appaloosa coloring. While their Appaloosa lineage is apparent, Arabian, Welsh, Native American pony, and Quarter Horse bloodlines also contributed to giving the POA its trademark look of a refined “little horse.” 5th IN THE IDEAL SERIES: The Ideal Series celebrates the art of legendary equine artist Orren Mixer and his famed “ideal” horse breed paintings. When the POAC and Orren Mixer connected, the result was a stunning painting showcasing the breed’s beauty and versatility. Featuring two colorful stallions amidst the pastoral countryside, the bottom highlights several disciplines the POA can be found in: Lead line, barrel racing, Native American regalia, jumping, and Western riding. Completed in 1996, this piece hangs in the boardroom of the POAC’s Indianapolis headquarters. From the Manufacturer:Breyer is the maker of the world’s finest model horses!
