This powerful Shire drafter was made in England by Beswick. It is 7.5" tall and was sculpted by Graham Tongue. This particular model was originally mounted on a ceramic plinth, but it took a tumble down the stairs while in a moving box one day...and voila! No more plinth! At least the horse was OK (I didn't like the plinth anyway). This brown gloss colourway on the ceramic plinth was only offered in 1987.
