Pinto horses were much loved by Native Americans, because their coloured coat served as great camouflage. In the summer they preferred dun horses, chestnuts & sorrels. In the winter they rode on white Pintos. They were difficult to make out against a snowy landscape.

This Schleich Pinto Mare model is beautifully hand painted to give wonderful role play to children & also makes a great collectors item for the nature enthusiast.
