Sale of Old Steven Stock of Hartland Horses Begins
Paola Groeber, a former manufacturer and distributor of Hartland horses, began selling a large group of old stock of Hartland horses on March 17. The models were produced by Steven Mfg. Co, in the 1980s and 1990s, and are new in box. Paola called them, "show quality."
[See Paola's ad, complete with links to color photos, in the "Models for Sale" section of this web site; the sub-section is "For Sale by Collectors." ] -- March 18, 2007, around noon.
Estate Sale is Finished
The "Ketchuck Collection" estate sale of Hartland models was completed September 1, 2007, and is now achived. The Ketchuck family is still selling Breyer horses from the collection. They hope everyone is enjoying the models!
New Hartland Accessories Released
In late August, 2007, the Hartland company announced that two more Indian accessory sets are available: one set in black-and-white and one in brown-and-white. The previous release, a horse, was in January. Some horses produced in the 2000s and some old stock (by Steven Mfg.) of Hartland rider parts is still available, too. The Hartland western items are sold at www.hartlandcollectibles.com and through the Hartland Collectibles "store" on eBay (www.ebay.com).

Customs by Buzz Setzer
Three Hartland custom gunfighters by artist Buzz Setzer sold for over $400 each on eBay in June 2007.He also created a portrait model of the 2007 Kentucky Derby Winner, Street Sense, and his jockey, and said he said he can "take orders for copying all sorts of jockey silks." Article and pictures are in the Fall 2007 Model Equestrian.

Hartland Repairs: A Sticky Issue, But Quality is Available
Buzz Setzer expertly replaced the lost braid on the Chief Brave Eagle
in the Ketchuck estate sale.
This is from page 180 in Hartland Model Equestrian News, July-August 2006.
This is a letter written to Buzz Setzer:
Buzz:
Your repairs are so good, they don't show.
...Up to this point, most repairs to Hartland paint have been crummy touch-ups, rather than quality restorations. So, Hartland repairs in general have a bad reputation that they deserve, which has, perhaps, influenced some sellers to deliberately misrepresent repaired pieces as originals. (Some sellers may not realize the pieces were repaired.)
The problem of some eBay sellers (of all types of things, not just Hartlands) not fully disclosing flaws/condition, in both words and pictures, is not going to go away. However, individual sellers build their own reputations, either good or bad, and word will get out, especially about the honest ones.
Everyone prefers an original in great condition, and most collectors would favor a beat-up original over a crummy repair. As it becomes more widely known that certain individuals can do great repairs, that will add another category to the thinking, and more collectors will opt for great repairs.
The cost of restoration makes sense for the rare characters. A beat-up original of a rare character can be the canvas for a quality restoration, so that might help the prices on them, too, which might, in turn, influence the shoddy retouchers to put down their paint brushes and sell their Hartlands in original condition. You never know.
About five or six years ago, I was invited to see a collection that the owner was thinking of selling. On inspection, I realized that more than half of his collection had been repaired or touched up, and the work was so bad that it was painful to look at. There were things such as a badly cast and attached replacement stirrup (larger than the original, not matching the color of the saddle, and with an obvious attachment point) and riders' shirts hand-painted with brush strokes showing and not really matching the original color.
I think he may have gotten the pieces after they had already been repaired, and they looked good to him that way. I pointed out, so tactfully as possible, that many of the pieces had been touched up or repaired. The owner asked whether that meant that they could not be sold. I said that it meant I'd have to say that they were repaired, and wouldn't be able to get the prices that original pieces would get.
I think he was hurt and disappointed. He changed his mind about selling the collection, and I haven't heard from him since.
There is a real need for what you are doing!
Sincerely,
Gail Fitch, August 30, 2006
After the Indians got Buffalo Bill's hands, Doc Holiday gave him a Matt Dillon hand to tide him over. Then, Bill came to Buzz Setzer for some permanent healing. Buzz' first step was to remove the errant hand. Mr. Setzer then cast, attached, and painted both new hands for Buffalo Bill, and did a little touch up on the paint. (Photos by Buzz Setzer.)
James Garner as Maverick.
Artist Buzz Setzer cast a bust of Maverick
(left), and used part of it to restore this
Maverick (above), which was missing his
left ear and much of his nose after a brawl.
You'd never know it now!
Setzer has other Hartland repair and customizing projects in the works. More of them will be pictured at this web site, and in my next Hartland Model Equestrian News. Also see the "Community--Mail" page for Setzer customs.--Gail Fitch, September 1 & 6. 2006. Photos, copyright by Buzz Setzer. Contact Mr. Setzer at: bsetzer503@triad.rr.com
This is another Maverick that came to Buzz
Setzer for repair. It was "missing an ear, 1/4
of the nose, and had bad eyebrow rubs." The
solution was a head transplant, shown here
before being painted.
At the ready are replacement hands for Cheyenne, Hoby Gilman, and Bill Longley. (Hands, Maverick repair, and photos by Buzz Setzer.)
Above is Buzz Setzer's repair to a black, rifle-holed saddle. He cast the stirrup.
At right is the finished product. The new stirrup blends in.
Likewise, above is a Cochise saddle with the new stirrup ready for final sanding and paint.
Drying,above. Setzer wrote, "I finished making the mold for the stirrup on
Saturday (September 9), and finished the saddle Sunday night."
August 30, 2006--Artist Buzz Setzer enjoys creating new characters from existing Hartland models. Some are shown below in this page from the November-December 2005 Hartland Model Equestrian News. His full-page article describing the products he uses on his custom work, is on page 159 in the same issue.You can order the complete, 20-page magazine from me. To get in touch with Mr. Setzer, email bsetzer503@triad.rr.com or look for his custom models on eBay, where his ID is CnVtoys..
Artist Buzz Setzer made a rider of Vint Bonner (left), one of characters that Hartland had made only as a standing gunfighter. He painted Bonner in the TV character's "real" colors, as seen in a studio color still. In lieu of a Bonner hat, the figure is wearing a Bonner hat replica cast by Craig Blankenship. Setzer created a replica of Bonner's three-piece gun (above). It has an interchangeable longer barrel and a shorter barrel, and also a stock (handle extension).

Hagen-Renaker Re-releases Highly Prized 6-9” Ceramic Horses
As of June 23, 2007, no new Hartland models have been announced since January 2007. However, if you have money to spend and like china horses, models from certain of the old Hagen-Renaker molds are available through the Hagen-Renaker Collector’s Club magazine. Some of the models are being sold directly by Hagen-Renaker, Inc., while others are available only from certain distributors who advertised in the magazine.
Most of the molds mentioned below were not used for decades, and models from the original releases are hard to find and/or expensive, more expensive than these new releases of old molds.
Colors on the new releases are different from the originals. Names given to the models are often the original name. About one-half of the models are permanently attached to ceramic bases to stabilize them. None of the original-release models came on a base. Consult any of the Hagen-Renaker books for the original names and colors. There have been four different authors of H-R horse books. Two of them – Gayle Roller and Nancy Kelly -- have recent editions that are widely available from bookstores and online.
The following models may be ordered from Lucky Seven Enterprises, whose owner, Debra Kerr, publishes the HRCC magazine.
● The mini-sized, racking five-gaited Saddlebred, on a base, is available in five colors and four choices of ribbon color for $35. Lucky Seven is calling her “Magic.”
●● “Sheba,” the 7” action Arab Mare with head turned to the right, and “Ferseyn,” the 7 ¾” cantering Arab Stallion, are $200 each in nine different colors and $250 in dapple grey. Each model is attached to a base. (They are the same molds made in plastic by Breyer for its “Classic Arabian Family.”)
● “Comella,” the 6 ¼” tall standing Thoroughbred Mare on a base is $200 in eight different colors and $250 in dapple grey.
● “Zara,” the 6 ¾ “action Arab Mare with head turned to the left and two hooves touching down only at the toe, is $200 in each of eight colors and $250 in dapple grey. “Zara” is on a base.
● “Retro,” the abstract, prancing horse, on a base, is $80 and comes in blue, pink, yellow, and green.
These models are available only directly from Hagen-Renaker, Inc.
●●● Three molds of foals to accompany the 6-7” size Arabian adults are available in five colors, for $85 each. The foals are the “Lying [down] Fez,” head-up “Zilla” (standing), and chin-tucked “Sherif” (walking). The foals are free-standing, not on a base. (“Sherif” is the mold made in plastic by Breyer for its “Classic Arabian Family.”)
● “Sespe Violette,” the walking draft mare around 6 inches tall is available in four colors for $425 and dapple grey for $475. There is also a choice of four different ribbon colors. She is free-standing, not on a base.
● “Roan Lady,” the standing Tennessee Walker about 7” tall is $230. It comes in five colors and three choices of ribbon color. “Roan Lady” is free-standing.
●● The large “Zara” and “Zilla” Arabian Mare and Foal are each available in four colors, and are free-standing. “Zara” is $375 ($400 for dappled grey), and “Zilla” is $190 ($215 for dappled grey). These are the molds similar to the Breyer Proud Arabian Mare and Foal; Breyer copied from Hagen-Renaker.
Two other distributors are offering special H-R horses:
● The larger (8 ½”) Rearing Stallion, “Fez,” is $260 in six different colors, and $310 in dapple grey. They are free-standing, not on a base! “Fez” is available only from Ed or Sheri Alcorn.
●● A mini-sized action Pony stallion and foal, “Rocky” and “Stoney,” a limited run of 125, are $80 for the set, and available only from Marcia Minor. Their color appears to be light chestnut or dark palomino, which was apparently not a regular-run color for these recent molds. They are free-standing, not on a base.
(From Hagen-Renaker, Inc., the prices include domestic shipping and handling. From Lucky Seven Enterprises and the other distributors, shipping is extra.)
The current, regular line of Hagen-Renaker animals of all kinds (mostly 3 inches and under) is available from Lucky Seven Enterprises, and many other distributors as well.
To receive the Spring 2007 issue of Hagen-Renaker Collector’s Club with the full-color, illustrated ads for all of the above models, contact Debra Kerr, HRCC@lucky-seven.com or call (407) 568-3551. It is 32 pages.

Horse and Horseless Project Model Horse Show
You can tell it's winter in Wisconsin (by the heavy coat, left). Greg Stebnitz (center) judged the open show at the annual Milwaukee Co. 4-H Horse and Horseless Project Model Horse Show January 14 in Oak Creek (near Milwaukee). Cheryl Paul judged the 4-H show simultaneously on the other side of the room. With the show 5/6ths done, collectors were starting to congregate and share laughs (upper right). The closest table holds entries in the Hartland horse collector class. To the right, most of the Hartland horse & rider class is visible. This year, performance classes were judged last, following the four halter divisions and the collector division. The four halter divisions were: original finish plastic, original finish china or resin, customized plastic, and customized china/resin. The show was NAHMSA approved, so 1st and 2nd place models can advance to the North American Nationals show.-- February 9, 2007

Painted Ponies Go To Kentucky
Life-sized and masterworks Trail of Painted Ponies will be exhibited at the Kentucky Horse Park this summer. This riotous intersection of art and the equine form has taken two collecting worlds by storm since 2003. The most widely available size of Painted Ponies models, about 6 inches tall, now appears in three basic shapes: standing stock type, cantering stock type, and cantering Arabian type. Smaller Ponies -- pins and ornaments -- are also available at the official, Painted Ponies web site: www.trailofpaintedponies.com .

Palomino Starts Off 2007 Hartland Line
The first Hartland model issued in 2007 was a Polo Pony in palomino with subtle dappling and medium green wraps. Called "Volant," it was an edition of 15.
Members of the 2006 Hartland Horses "club," who were contacted by mail in January 2007, were eligible to enter a drawing; the winners paid $50 for the model.

Models Honor Barbaro
Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro lived eight months after his breakdown in the 2006 Maryland Preakness. Breyer and Ty, the Beanie Baby company, both issued Barbaro models in 2006. Many are now on the secondary market. For those who like Thoroughbred models, and are, perhaps, looking for some variety, don't forget the ones made by Hartland.
In addition to the Tinymite, 5", 7", and 9" series Thoroughbreds, one mold of 9" horses produced for the Hartland rider series in the 1950s and 1960s, the Standing/Walking horse, looks like a mature Thoroughbred, in its breeding years. There are five shape variations of this mold that were made in bay color, and one was issued with Hartland's 1950s Jockey! (The shape variations are different manes and tails. Hartland did that long before Peter Stone did.) All of these models were most commonly made in bay, and if you look at them just right, well, they could be the image of a champion.
Three bay Hartland "Thoroughbreds," all different, all 9", all Tenite (quality plastic), all in great condition are for sale at this web site and/or on eBay. They were already for sale last year. Two are from the Ketchuck estate (I'm selling for them), and one is a double from my own stable. On eBay, look for auctions by hartland_guru.
Breyer Has TWO Barbaro-Related Models
An article about Barbaro appeared in Issue #10 of Hartland Model Equestrian News, which I published in summer 2006. It includes information, such as on Breyer models, that you can't find anywhere else. My original research found two Breyer models connected to Barbaro. Read about it in Issue #10. I have only a few copies left, and they are on eBay. My seller name is: hartland_guru.

Champions Package - dated 1990 and collectible colored cards with the horses names/story on them. Clear Clam shell sample packages. All models are in mind condition, but some packages have yellowed with age. These models were still painted with the really good paint from the mid 1980's. Very few of these were actually shipped in the clam shell.
