    Here is a 5 1-2"H grey glass running Przewalski horse, a wild horse equivalent to the American Mustang. Designed by Paul Hoff from his World Wildlife Fund series for Kosta Boda in 1987

      Nice Kosta galloping horse!

      At first I was going to say what a beautiful glass horse, then I seen it was actually a Przewalski's horse, which you never see depicted in arts and crafts of any form(or at least very rarely). Anyway, he's in a stunning pose and because of his rather glassy colouration I can just see him dashing across a misty beach tossing up froth and spume from the sea while also being pelted by drizzle too! He's great- and I think all horses are at their best in a galloping pose :P

      Thanks MrsT for the sweet compliment, this horse is definitely at a wild gallop and totally in motion lol

      Thank you Ken for the fabulous compliments, I too love the grey as it lends realism to the figure, it was as if I couldn't slow this horse down enough to get a good picture :)

      Eileen I never saw Hidalgo, now I am so curious & must see that! I know about the Nevada wild mustangs from the movie The Misfits, that was such a sad part of that movie when they were capturing them for the glue factory, at least Marilyn Monroe got to save a couple. Thanks so very much for your fantastic compliments & the great backstory

      I agree Lauren, horses do look best when they're galloping, so wild & free. That's a lovely image of him running on a misty beach while it is drizzling, just love your imagination it's really fabulous, thank you :)
