The art of sculpting model horses for sale, and providing resin model horses to paint has grown by leaps and bounds since the 1960's. Discerning collectors will delight in the two resin model horses added to the Crane collectible family of artwork.
The modern day hobby of Model Horses began in the 1950's and 1960's when companies like Hartland and Breyer began to manufacture realistic toys and horse-crazy kids began collecting them. These children grew to adulthood, staunchly refused to give up their model horses, and are still collecting today along with the younger generations of fans whose numbers increasingly multiply. They seek out models for sale and resins to paint, and look for artist model horses created by sculptors, which are far different from the more corporate creations.

MODEL HORSES For Sale and The HOBBY
from Child's Play to Formal CompetitionThe hobby of collecting has grown to include worldwide collectors who show their favorites in classes at live shows (using a tabletop as a show ring). There are also photo shows for those who do not wish the inconvenience of leaving home to show their model horse. Winning depends not only on the quality of sculpting but on "how to paint". Sale pages online are visited often.
The NAMSHA (North American Model Horses Show Association) sanctions and publicizes live shows as well as hosting the annual North American Nationals. Another yearly event, attended by thousands, is Breyerfest, held at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington.
The hobbyist of today acquires a model show ring hopeful in one of two ways :
1) They customize stock horses for sale from the larger commercial companies then repaint and even alter the figure into a new pose;
2) or, they purchase artist original resins model for sale from a professional sculptor who creates limited editions. In this instance they do the "finishing" themselves and paint them or pay professional painters.
There are even professional makers of tack and accessories. The internet itself is flooded with information on "The Hobby".
