Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Sunka Tanka, "The Protector of the Universe," is the Great Sprit Horse with a brown and white coat and striking blue eyes. The North American Plains Indians told colorful tales to explain the powers of his markings such as the great Shield of Protection that covered his powerful chest, the Medicine Hat of a Great Healer that covered his poll and ears, and the sign of strength drawn from the Grizzly Paw marking that lay across his back and hind quarters.

Using the ever-popular "San Domingo" mold, Breyer offers this gorgeous paint. With the wonderful hand painted details, this lovely boy is sure to dress up any collector's shelf.

Sculpted in 1978 by Chris Hess, this mold has been popular with Breyer collectors for 25 years. With his flashy new paint job, he's sure to make an appearance at many collector shows. His calm walking pose makes him a good choice for beginning showers interested in performance classes.

Recommended for ages 8 and up, he's sure to find his way to Barbie's pasture, as well as the show ring. It is important to remember, however, that because he is hand painted he is likely to suffer a few "rubs" and scratches in the hands of smaller collectors. While his legs are a bit thicker than the smaller sized models, they will snap with enough pressure.

For a great gift idea, wrap him up with a book from the Thoroughbred or Saddle Club series.

This horse is one of my favorites. He has wonderful conformation and he is quite durable. He is very enjoyable because he is moving, which is something kids love when the play. He is also in a stand still position so that works too. I love how detailed his markings are compared to the real horse. His legs a a tiny bit thicker too which is always a plus! I give this horse a A-!
