Tennessee Walking Horse

   

The Tennessee Walking Horse (abbreviated TWH, also sometimes called Midnight Sun) was introduced in 1972 and is a portrait model of two time World Grand Champion Tennessee Walking Horse Midnight Sun. The model has the round "Breyer Molding Co." and "U.S.A." mold stamps, and some may have the "B" stamp as well. The mold has molded-on ribbons in the mane and forelock. It was sculpted by Chris Hess and is Breyer mold #60.
