Conga! G1 Quarter Horse Stallion

The original ceramic Hagen-Renaker mold, #31 Mini Quarter Horse Stallion34, was sculpted by Maureen Love Calvert, and leased from the company by Breyer for production in plastic. The Quarter Horse Stallion mold was released in 1976 and was discontinued along with the other Generation One molds in 2005.

During this time, Breyer released ten regular runs and eight special runs on this mold, making him the sixth most used G1 mold, just behind the G1 Saddlebred. Unlike most of the other G1 molds, the Quarter Horse Stallion does not have any old plastic Sears special runs as his first SR gift set release was in 1992.
