This model was released in the Series 2 Draft Horse Set #39601, Winners Choice Micro Horses by Creata International in 1997. This set was produced for Mass Market stores (larger retail stores like Target).
In 2001, this set as #2333, was rebranded by the Nylint Corporation. The models were the exact same, including the copyright stamp, but packaged with a rider figure.
