When competing in mounted games I usually wear my hair (my  RED hair) in 2 HUGE braids because trust me, you have never seen a  red-head with as much hair as me. Not only that but the rider is on a  pinto pony, that may not look exactly like Minnow\u2019s clone, but there are some  definite similarities.<\/p>\n<p>Then a friend sent me over a link to the Art Class Set.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1816\" title=\"breyer art class set\" src=\"http:\/\/trickponies.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/04\/picture-1.png?w=400&#038;resize=400%2C387\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"387\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This model also includes a female artist with RED hair and a pinto pony.
