Model Horse
Model horses or toy horses are scale replicas of real horses and are highly collectible. The hobby originated more or less simultaneously—but independently—in North America and the UK, followed later by Sweden (UK-influenced), Germany (US-influenced) and Australia. The hobby encompasses a wide variety of activities, from those who simply like to collect to those who enthusiastically show their models at model horse shows. Unlike many model cars or model trains, the horses do not need to be assembled from kits, although they can be altered to the collector's liking.
