{"product_id":"john-henry-original-release-1","title":"John Henry - Original Release","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Henry was a legend among racehorses.  Named for legendary steel-driving man who raced machinery and won, John Henry lived up to the hype.  Small in stature, unremarkable in breeding, and with an attitude that got him gelded at an early age, John Henry's is a Cinderella story for the ages.  He sold at auction for merely $1,100, but went on to become the richest Thoroughbred of his time.  With the right care and training, he proved that talent outweighs breeding, winning 30 stakes races, 7 Eclipse Awards, and being voted Horse of the Year twice.  Anyone who ever met him (and I count myself lucky enough to be among them) will never forget this tough little race horse.  John Henry enjoyed a long retirement at Kentucky Horse Park with lots of care and attention until he passed peacefully at age 32.  Still, his legend lives on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a wonderful article about John Henry's daily adventures in retirement at Kentucky Horse Farm here:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Read about John Henry's daily adventures\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bloodhorse.com\/horse-racing\/articles\/40231\/hoofing-it-with-john-henry\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.bloodhorse.com\/horse-racing\/articles\/40231\/hoofing-it-with-john-henry\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/1551\/files\/John_Henry_medium.jpg?8263624712541838142\" alt=\"John Henry\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e[Photo Credit:  Bob Coglianese]\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBreyer's tribute model, sculpted by \u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\" face=\"Arial\"\u003eJeanne Mellin Herrick, depicts him at ease, enjoying a relaxing walk, with ears pricked and eyes bright.  It was only produced from 1988-1990.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\" face=\"Arial\"\u003eThis fellow is Near Mint with a pinpoint rub on his left barrel, one on the back of his right rump, and some tiny hoof edge rubs.  He displays beautifully, with a deep, rich coat color, lovely face shading and a satin finish that brings him to life.  He even comes with the sticker from the front of his box.  Since this mold is notorious for being tippy, we recommend \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/triplemountain.com\/products\/museumputty\" title=\"Quakehold Museum Putty at Triple Mountain - Protect your Model Horses\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMuseum Putty\u003c\/a\u003e or a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/triplemountain.com\/products\/horse-rack-traditional-classic-size\" title=\"Model Horse Safety Racks at Triple Mountain to protect Breyer, Stone and other Models\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHorse Safety Rack\u003c\/a\u003e to keep him safely upright. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize:  Traditional\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBreyer Model #445\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Breyer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52602335428828,"sku":"40-43","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/1551\/files\/40-johnhenry2023-09-07_1.jpg?v=1790262015","url":"https:\/\/triplemountain.com\/en-gb\/products\/john-henry-original-release-1","provider":"Triple Mountain Model Horses","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
