The Schleich figures are modelled with attention to detail, hand-painted with care, and provide educationally valuable playtime. All English Thoroughbreds can be traced back to three Arab stallions born between 1680 and 1724. Other breeds are often crossed with English Thoroughbreds to make them more elegant.

Paint horse geldings are especially popular with cowboys because they are more even-tempered than stallions. They also have cow sense and are very quick and nimble, especially over short distances, which makes cattle driving easy.
