I've been in the model horse hobby since 1974. My first clinky horses were a box of Japans from a friend out of her Aunt's collection when I moved to OH from IN in 1971. Once in the hobby, I discovered Beswicks and that was my focus for many years. A hobby friend in the area collected Hagens so if we were at auctions together, she got the HRs and I got the Beswicks. Once the San Marcos years started, I did start collecting a few new HRs. My collecting never took off until I had to sell my real horses but then was put on hold when I lost my factory job and went back to school. Once I had my new career (and spending money), the collection exploded.
I think Tom B introduced me to Pour Horse and I was lucky enough to buy most of them new. I also collect Animal Artistry, Japan chinas, Hagen Renaker mini animals and Cheval. Now that I'm ready to retire, I look at this huge collection and think, 'What on earth was I thinking?'. That is until Tiffany Tran tempts me with a new Beswick...oh well, what is one more little foal?
Beautiful Beswick Butts!
