Breyer Traditional Secretariat - Gift For Kids
|
|
The Breyer Traditional range offers a selection of horses sculpted with Breyer's characteristic attention to detail and authenticity. Traditional models are sculpted from cellulose acetate, a high quality plastic, on a scale of 1:9. This model horse is of the famous US Thorobred Race Horse Secretariat.
If there is one horse and one race that defines the sport of US Thoroughbred racing, the horse would be the world-famous Secretariat and the race would be his win of the 1973 Belmont Stakes. Triple Crown winner Secretariat was a true athlete and champion. The world has yet to see another Belmont win of 31 lengths, such as he did in 1973, and there has yet to be a Thoroughbred that breaks his 1973 Kentucky Derby record of 1 min 59.40 secs.
This gorgeous model horse is the perfect gift for children and collectors of Brayer models.
Breyer are manufactures of the world's finest model horses.
Breyer models begin as beautiful horse sculptures created by leading equine artists that are then cast into a copper and steel mold. Each model is created one at a time from the original mold, which is injected with a special resin selected by Breyer for its ability to capture the depth of detail, delicate feel and richness of color in our models. Once the model is molded, Breyer’s artisans take over, and the handwork begins. Each individual Breyer model is prepped and finished by hand and then turned over to the painting department for hand painting (with airbrushes) and detailing (with paint brushes). In all, some 20 artisans work on each individual model horse, creating an exquisite hand-made model horse that is as individual as the horse that inspired it.
