Fighting Stallion ~ Ponokah Eemetah (Sun - Arrow)

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 Sun & Arrow, was only made from January - June, 1994, the first release produced.  He wears a large sun on his face and a red-and-blue arrow on his left hindquarter.

This fellow is Near Mint with only a few tiny hoof edge rubs, one tiny missed-paint spot between his front legs along a seam, and slight age yellowing, which you can reverse with a few days of sunbathing.  He features neatly hand-painted symbols, with the arrow overlaying an Appy spot, providing even more depth to his color.  He even comes with his original hang tag.
