My absolute favorite breed is, of course, Appaloosas, but I also love Lippizaners and Tennessee Walkers.
So, when a friend posted that she was selling her Hagen Renaker Lippizaner in bay, I quickly sent her a message and ended up purchasing it.
A 2009 special run for BreyerFest, it came in two colors - black and bay.
I love his blaze - it looks a bit like a tornado or a lightning strike.
I bought the black about ten years ago and have been looking for the bay ever since. (I have found one or two, but their prices were not in my budget.)
The blazes on the two pieces are different.
Their bases differ, too.
A close-up of the bases. In person, the differences make it seem as though two different molds were used for those bases. I need to do some research into that.
Both pieces are marked to identify them as special runs. If I remember right, 50 were made of each color.
I am thrilled to add this piece to my collection!
