Welcome to Shady Grove Ranch!
To begin with: Nothing you see here is real. Well, the models are real, but they're not real horses. If you're looking for information on real horses, I'm afraid you're out of luck.
I have been a model horse collector since 1981 and have been showing off and on since 1989. My focus is primarily on original finish plastic models; I have literally a scant handful of customs. My collection is probably--I haven't had the nerve to count lately--around 600 horses, and I have offshoot collections of cattle, wildlife, and pets. I'm a member of the International Pedigree Assignment and Bloodline Research Association (IPABRA) [for model horses].
I'm interested in a lot of different breeds but stock horses and mustangs are particular favorites. What can I say? I grew up in Colorado and Texas.
The horses on our banner are our mustang Mancha de Tinta and her filly Chickadee, both of whom are Hagen-Renaker china miniatures.
