Information About Collectible Horse Figures

By Lela Perkins





Horses are very popular animals. They have a special place in our lives. They have a role in our entertainment, as evidenced by the popularity of horse racing and rodeos. And they also are kept as pets by many people, and treated just like members of the family. Let's not forget the role they have on films and television too. Therefore, it shouldn't really come as much of a surprise to know that collectible horse figures are popular among horse lovers.



These days there are so many breeds of horses that you'd probably be hard pressed to name them. The most well-known are Mustang, Arabian and Clydesdale. Though most people probably think that one breed looks much like another the experts know better. If you're an expert and you wanted your ornaments to depict a certain breed, one that was more obscure, then you'd need to ask around and find someone that really knows their breeds so they can make you the most authentic statue or figure possible.



One of the best ways of displaying figures is to setup a display cabinet. Where you choose to situate it is important. Obviously, the size of the cabinet will depend on the size of the collection. Therefore, you'll need to make sure that the room you put the cabinet in is big enough to house it.



If you have a display case then your only concern could be what to put in the case. Putting the figurines in the cabinet in a haphazard fashion will probably not draw the attention of guests. Perhaps a display that looks historically at the role of horses throughout history would be more interesting. This would need some cowboys and Indians, as well as some horse-drawn carriages.



If you're a novice collector then it might be a good idea to think about exactly what types of figures you want to collect. This will mainly depend on your budget, but will also depend on what types of materials you have a liking for. Some people will only collect things from certain artists, or they may restrict themselves to products of a certain size, say, due to space considerations.



When adding to or starting a collection, sometimes not enough consideration is given to the aesthetics. For instance, you might be a huge fan of pewter and crystal. But think about if these types of figurines really would look good in the same display case. Think about your budget too when making the decisions, as pewter is cheaper then crystal and more durable.



If you are the type that likes to keep an open mind, then you might well be interested in making your own ornaments. There are a number of reasons to do this. Perhaps you could make them for Christmas instead of buying friends presents. It's cheap and you can enroll children to help you. You might balk at making presents for people so perhaps a better idea is to make figurines to put on your Christmas tree.



Horse figures are made from many different materials, each with its own pros and cons. What is often considered the best looking material to use can often be the most expensive and the least durable. However, for a change from ornaments and statues, you could make horse jewelry, like bracelets and charms.
