"Liver Chestnut Pacer Test Run. The Pacer (mold #46) was Breyer’s first representation of a racing Standardbred. As his name implies, he depicts the breed’s distinctive lateral “pace” gait that some, but not all, Standardbreds race at. He is decorated as a simple but elegant liver chestnut with three socks and a complimentary forest green halter. This test run piece likely dates to the 1990s or very early 2000s.
This test run model is in good condition overall, but does have flaws consistent with a test piece that was moved around and passed through many hands. These include shiny marks to both sides, a few rubs on the left side hip, and faint black marks in the unpainted plastic of his socks. As always, tiny imperfections may be present as a result of our handmade production process. This piece of Breyer history is priced at $1,200 and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Exclusively for Breyer Collector Club members." www.breyerhorses.com.
