Conga! G1 Quarter Horse Mare

The original ceramic Hagen-Renaker mold, #428/61 Mini Head Down Horse35, was sculpted by Maureen Love Calvert, and leased from the company by Breyer for production in plastic. Since the Hagen-Renaker Head Down Horse is a stallion, the mold was altered to remove the male parts in order to produce the plastic mares.

The Quarter Horse Mare mold was released in 1976 with the other molds, but unlike the others who were discontinued in 2005, production of this mold ended in 1998. During her short life time, this mold was only used four times making it, hands down, the least used Generation One Stablemate mold. These four runs were all regular runs; no special runs were ever released. Other generations have molds which have been use less thus far, but since these molds are still 'live' there's still the potential for future releases.

Since the Quarter Horse Mare lacks any look-alike runs, we're going to jump straight to the G1 Quarter Horse Stallion Conga later this afternoon.


Many thanks to Lori Ogozalek for providing a picture of the missing Quarter Horse Mare!
