The Appaloosa Ideal: Celebrating the Artistry of Orren Mixer in Breyer's Ideal Series

Established in 1938, the Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) has dedicated itself to "preserving and improving the Appaloosa breed." This unique and versatile breed has captivated the hearts of many, including renowned equine artist Orren Mixer (1920-2008).

Mixer's famed painting "The Appaloosa," commissioned by the ApHC, was publicly unveiled in 1981 and still graces the organization's promotional materials today. This stunning work depicts a handsome chestnut blanket Appaloosa stallion standing watch over a herd of mares and foals in a pastoral landscape, showcasing the breed's diverse coat colors and patterns.

Recognized for his contributions to the Appaloosa breed, Mixer was inducted into the ApHC's Hall of Fame in 1998. His artwork, which has graced the covers of numerous publications, including Western Horseman, has cemented his place as one of history's preeminent equine artists.

Breyer, the maker of the world's finest model horses, pays homage to Mixer's artistic legacy with the Ideal Series, a collection inspired by his "ideal" horse breed paintings.
