Originally sculpted as a portrait of the Paso Fino Foundation Sire. Bay with star and 2 socks on the left side with grey or black hooves. Color variations include a brown bay to a reddish bay, and less common variations include a snip, a missing star, or more or less socks. The star ranged in size as did the socks. Some socks are more grey than white.
The El Pastor release started out having the round Breyer Molding Co Copyright Stamp and the U.S.A. Stamp. In the late 1970's, production of this mold moved to Mexico, so the 'U.S.A.' letters were removed, but the three periods remained. An 'Hecho en Mexico' Stamp was added. Only about 2000-3000 unpainted models were made, and left, in Mexico. When production resumed for El Pastor, only the round stamp and the three periods remained. A B Stamp also briefly appeared during this production run.
See separate record for the Chalky variation.
