An unknown pastime to most, competitive model horse collecting is a serious passion for girls and women of all ages. But why?
Contemplative, Quirky, Sound Rich
English
While some lucky girls spend their weekends at the barn brushing their ponies and galloping around paddocks, others are devoted to serious indoor competition - with their plastic model horses. Either way, one thing's certain: Girls love horses. Producer Julie Shapiro spends some time at the stable and at the show ring, talking with riders and collectors of all ages about the timeless bond between them and their beloved animals - both the living and breathing ones and the mass-produced, painted ponies.
