Fighting Stallion ~ Ponokah Eemetah (Horse Shoes, Red Zig Zag)

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 Horse Shoes, was only made from July - December of 1994.

This guy is Near Mint with only a tiny, super faint light rub on his left barrel, only visible when it catches the light just right.  He features a bright white blanket and a funny little red zigzag that looks more authentically hand-painted than the "more perfect" ones.
