Model # P1176

Shown in Medium Dapple Grey

Modelled from the English Shire, a muscular heavy draft horse, this figurine is shown on-the-move, to better represent the excellent qualities

of this breed. The Shire horse is descended from the Great Horses and Old English Blacks, from ancient times. The Shire is the largest of the heavy breed horses, with stallions standing up to 18 hands high at the withers. For all of his massive size, he is a docile, hard-working gentle horse which is easy to train. The quality of this breed was guaranteed by the establishment of the Shire Horse Society in 1878. This society was first called The Cart-Horse Society, but soon changed its name. The North Light model is an elegant representation of this wonderful draft horse. His muscular body is well proportioned to be breed standard. He has a very detailed face with an alert expression and large well positioned ears. Every detail, right down to the horse shoe on the front raised hoof, has been attended to in the North Light Studio. The rope halter and fabric blanket add great hand detailing and interest to this model.
