Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Seabiscuit rose from obscurity to triumph, and along the way, brought a weary, dispirited America to its feet. In 1938, at the height of the Great Depression, he was the nation's #1 newsmaker, outdrawing Roosevelt and even Hitler. Week after week, he was featured in Time, Newsweek, Look, Pic and The New Yorker. His workouts alone drew 40,000 fans, and race radio broadcasts were heard by as many as 40 million people.

Product Description

Out of the financial miseries of the 1930's rose an improbable hero - -Seabiscuit, an under-sized, crooked-legged, muddy-colored horse. From 1936 to 1940, this relative underdog established himself as one of history's most extraordinary athletes and routinely smashed attendance records anytime he made an appearance. Seabiscuit's most famous match by far was the 1938 Pimlico Special against his eastern rival and Triple Crown winner, War Admiral, a contest still regarded as one of the greatest horse races ever run.

Carefully sculpted by talented equine artists and hand-painted, this stunning recreation of Seabiscuit is durable enough for play, yet exquisite enough to inspire a collection. Horse measures approximately 11" x 9".

This review is from: Seabiscuit  (Toy)

Seabiscuit is a beautifully shaded bay, traditional sized, breyer version of the real race horse. He is one of my favorites and he even has chestnuts on the insides of his legs. He's walking easily with his head low,the way you see calm horse walk onto the track.His face is extremely detailed.

It is beautiful, and durable, but none of the tack that I have actually FITS on the horse! I don't have that racetrack tack, but I'm sure that that won't fit either.

To me, Breyer horses should be viewed not only toys but rather as collectables. They are quite fragile and scratch and break easily, so they should only be given to kids above age 10. You can buy or even make little accessories such as saddles, bridles, etc. and they are a LOT of fun!

To a true Breyer enthusiast, this horse is well worth the price. This horse, Seabiscuit, is just as good as many other Breyers out there.
