This is a very fine quality model of Rain that I would recommend to any fellow mare lover. The sculptor did an excellent job of giving her believable equine anatomy, yet she still has the look and beauty of Rain in the movie, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron.

The model appears to be made of a heavy plastic and is well buffed to a dull sheen after painting. I have two of these and one of them has the seam on her croup so well smoothed that you cannot see where it is. The other has some minor sanding marks and a small depression that goes from the base of her tail, along her spine to her withers. This is only of concern to a collector, or mare fancier as it is not very noticeable. To me it detracts from the lovely, graceful shape of her rump and back. If you are worried make sure you look carefully before opening the box so you can return her and get another that pleases you.

There is a very small hole drilled in the left corner of her smile which I have been told by Breyer is so that the air can escape when the model is joined together. It is very minor and is much better than how they have done it in the past when they would poke a hole in the nostril of the model.

The painting is not perfect, but certainly acceptable. Her eyes are well indicated and her coat pattern closely follows that of her in the movie. Her mane and tail are flowing with some nice hollows and through-holes that simulate her hair wafting in the wind. She has a very cute expression with which you can't help fall in love.

Her pose is realistic and very stable on a table top. She is in tripod stance and we can see the bottoms of 3 of her hooves which actually have a very slight "V" at the heel and are slightly concave to indicate the frog and sole of a barefooted mare. This is a very nice detail that they added to her in my opinion. She can also be tilted back to balance on her hindlegs and tail so that she is rearing up in a very attractive manner! :) On the inside of her left hind upper leg she has a small silver painted logo of Spirit at the gallop. Opposite this on her right hind leg is molded: TM & ©2002 Dreamworks L.L.C. Breyer © Reeves.

Summary: If you love horses in general, mares in particular, and Rain specifically, you will want to own this model. I will be buying at least two more for my collection. I use her for display still in her box, as a model for drawing her and horse anatomy, and as a reminder of how much I love horses and have enjoyed her movie, Spirit.

I got Rain for my birthday one year and from then on I treasured her as much as I could. I had seen the Spirit of the Cimarron movie and I thought it was great so of course I had to go out and get the breyer horses. She is very fun to play with and is also a very nice collecters item. Her durability is also very good. Evan though she is not very educational, she is still great to have around.

I say that this toy is awesome (Dispite the price) I say "If your willing to collect/play with Breyer, your willing to lend the money.
These things don't come cheap now let me tell that. Well I started to collect them a while ago. I only have one because I sometimes have trouble finding a way to pay. Well, if your intrested in collecting, heres some thaings you might want. Barn,2-3 diffrent Breyer horses. (ones you like and can afford, and anything else you wanna add to a Breyer collection.

I bought this horse along with Spirit statue for my 5 yr old daughter. She absolutely is a horse lover and a big fan of the movie Spirit. She has had hours of fun playing with and pretending to be Rain or Spirit herself. The actual statues vary slightly than pictured and are very large. There is some chipping of paint off the leg of Spirit - not sure if shipped this way or not. This is a bit of a dissappointment as the statues sell regularly for $45. It would be nice if these models were available in the classic size as well.

Rain is an elegant and beautiful paint mare who lives with her owner Little Creek, a young Lakota brave. This is another beautiful model from the movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. Her lovely prancing position, the lovely little feather in her mane, and her pretty little blue eyes make Rain another "must have" Breyer Collectible.

Rain is very very cute it would go great with Spirit Or Indain set. The model is cute but the price inst'nt it's ugly.

I purchased this horse as an addition for my Horse collection and found that this was a TOY and not appropriate to add to my collection.

I was very disappointed and will give this to my grandson.

Also, I have paid less for nicer quality model horses, so if you are adding to an existing model horse collection, pass this by(...)
