"The Third Test Run of 2020 - A Vintage Inspired Appaloosa Ruffian. Breyer test run models are initial decos painted up to see how a particular color might look on a particular sculpture. Or, they may be created to test out a painting technique or new colorway. Sculpted by Susan Carlton Sifton, Ruffian (mold #597) is certainly one of our fan favorites! Originally created as a portrait model of the legendary racing filly of the same name, Ruffian has worn a variety of coat colors since her debut in 2006. This model’s vintage inspired appaloosa coat bears a bit of a resemblance to another model, the BreyerFest 2011 Early Bird model, Perrault! With her combination of splatter spots and modern shading techniques, this lovely lady is the definition of 'omething old, something new.' This piece was priced at $1000.00 and comes with a certificate of authenticity." www.breyerhorses.com. Similar paint job to the Appaloosa Performance Horse.
