| Peter Stone models horse after great Paint |
| FORT WORTH, Texas - Kenny Rogers has been known to turn a few heads and his striking looks make him an
American Paint Horse to remember. The Peter Stone Company thinks so highly of this uniquely-colored tovero that they have
made a 9-inch replica of the award-winning horse.
The model horse is a work of art and craftsmanship. "Kenny's" bright blue eyes and his medicine hat are only some of the intricate details defined in the Stone model. The Kenny Rogers creation incorporates 30 years of experience in the design and marketing of model horses. Each Kenny Rogers model is made of cellulose acetate and is hand-painted by skilled artisans. Like all horses Stone chooses to replicate, Kenny has a proven record inside and outside the show ring. Double-registered as an American Paint Horse and a Pinto, Kenny has distinguished himself as a Supreme Champion versed in Western and English Pleasure as well as Hunter Under Saddl and Halter. He has sired more than40 Paints, each with unique coat patterns. Ask for a Peter Stone Kenny Rogers model at finer toy stores, hobby shops and tack shops nationwide.
