This time it's a Roy! Not my favorite mold, but whatevs. He looks very similar to the Clydesdale Foal that was offered earlier in the year. From the email:
We have a lot of roan horses in our archive! They are a fun color to test, and there are also many techniques to achieve roan so we've had lots of variations over the years. Old Roy was an early test run, probably from 2000. He's seen better days, but we cannot bear to send him out to pasture! His blaze and four socks, done with masking tape, give him character, and his bay roan shading and big dark hooves add so much character. But he does have wear. He has rubs on eartips, hooves, right knee, left barrel, and inside the left hind leg. There are a few shiny marks and a few colored rubs from being too close to another model at one point in time. He has stress marks on his face seam and it's a little rough there too. But we still love him and hope he finds a home, because he's actually quite adorable - look at that face!!
So he's a "roan" color, with tape-masked markings, in a shade oddly similar to that Clydesdale Foal. I'm guessing they were probably painted around the same time. They'd make a nice set if you could get ahold of them both! Which won't be as difficult with this particular piece, because he only costs $650 instead of the usual $850.
I won't be entering for this one, but good luck to everyone!
