In 1983, this model was released through JC Penney as the Bitsy Breyer Beachcomber Set #671-0974. Included doll, bridle, surf board and comb. The model pictured is all black with black hooves and the Bitsy doll has a different outfit than the #1001 sets; unsure if that was a prototype or the actual release.
In 1988, this model was released through JC Penney in the Parade of Breeds Collector Assortment I Set #713267, which included the American Saddlebred, 2 QH Stallions, Morgan Stallion, Arabian Stallion, and Thoroughbred Stallion.
