San Domingo ~ Adam Cartwright's Sport - BONANZA® Series

One of the equine stars of the Western series  "Bonanza," Sport was the mount of Adam Cartwright, the oldest son of Ben, who owns the Ponderosa Ranch.  "Bonanza" was NBC's longest-running Western, running for fourteen years.   [Original cast of Bonanza with their horses - 1959; photo credit: Wikipedia]   Breyer chose the calm but cow-smart San Domingo mold to represent Sport.  Since Adam was described as smart, sensible, and trustworthy, this is the perfect mold for his mount.  Sport was a single-year release in 2012.  He is one of the hardest to find in this series. This fellow is Near Mint with two pinpoint white specks in the finish on his right shoulder.  He has a few, tiny, shinier areas in his finish and slight age yellowing in his socks that you can brighten back up with a day or two of sunbathing.  He features a lovely, rich chestnut coat, bright white blaze and very subtle muzzle pinking.    Size:  Traditional Breyer Model #1448
