Fighting Stallion ~ Ponokah Eemetah (Hand Print)

The Ponokah Eemetah series of Fighting Stallions was thought to have been Breyer's little inside joke... "How many times can we re-use the same model with the slightest change and have people keep buying them?"  The answer, it appears, was eight.  All of these models are dark chocolate blanket Appaloosas with slightly lighter muzzles and solid legs.  In January of 1994, Breyer released two different warpaint versions.  In July of 1994, they released two more versions.  In 1995 they did the same thing in January and July, for a total of eight different warpaint versions in the series.  Most collectors try to collect all eight (and we can assume that Breyer is still chuckling).

While no official names were given to the different patterns, this one, which we call the Hand Print, was only made from January - July - December of 1994, the earliest release produced.

This guy is Near Mint with a couple of tiny hoof edge rubs, one pinpoint rub on his left foreleg and a few pinpoint missed spots, mainly on his chest and along a seam under his right knee.  He features a lighter body color than most, which gives him more depth - You can see his sooty muzzle shading and black stockings better, and he has subtle highlights.  Handsome fellow!
