Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Straight from Touchstone's epic adventure of the same name, Hidalgo is a gorgeous chestnut Paint horse and the ultimate survivor. According to the autobiography of Frank T. Hopkins, Hidalgo, a Mustang with a fiery personality all his own, was the first American horse in 1890 to run in the grueling 3,000 mile Ocean of Fire survival race across the Arabian Desert. For Hopkins and Hidalgo, winning the race becomes not only a matter of pride and honor, but a race for their very survival as they attempt the impossible.

5.0 out of 5 stars hidalgo, April 18, 2004

A Kid's Review

= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Hidalgo  (Toy)

i really liked this because hidalgo is, number one, a striking color and i love the wild look. he is, i think, an exeptional example of your models. second, i think that he is durable, but not for really little kids because if he gets banged too hard, then there goes his leg, or ear, etc. but otherwise he is pretty tough. he is really a beautiful model.

This model is awsome! Everytime i get a new horse (i am a huge collector!)it becomes my ultimate favorite. This has been my most ultimate ultimate favorite yet. This model is so much fun, its just fun looking at his patterns! This toys edu. value is so high on my list because of its container. Any parents would be amazed just like i was to see how much info. comes w/ the model, the info surrounds it on the box. While playing w/ the model kids can also learn about its history by acting out their favorite scenes. A few of my older models have been broken, yet over the years breyer has improved their material so the are much less proned to brake. Not one of my new models has broken yet so i dont expect this 1 2 brake either. Its rearing legs are not in more danger of being broken, because in one of the breyer magizines it shows how they make the model, and you can see how they make the legs w/ extra support. This is why i give this model straight 5's!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hidalgo's spirit is put right on your shelf or window...., August 12, 2004

This review is from: Hidalgo  (Toy)

I bought Hidalgo at the Breyerfest and got him signed by Rex Peterson! But anyways....
Hidalgo caught my eye because of the beauty and effort that was taken into making him. He sits on my window in his beautiful rearing pose. If you collect Breyer horses, Hidalgo is a must have. His spirit and wildness is put all into one breyer horse.
Hidalgo is not a play toy! Some of the reviews says that he is okay to play with. I have heard from my friends that he can get his leg snapped off if you are not careful. So he is a nice decoration.
Hidalgo is for the breyer horse collector, horse person, and fan of the movie.
