Horses are very popular animals. They have a special place in our lives. They have a role in our entertainment, as evidenced by the popularity of horse racing and rodeos. And they also are kept as pets by many people, and treated just like members of the family. Let's not forget the role they have on films and television too. Therefore, it shouldn't really come as much of a surprise to know that collectible horse figures are popular among horse lovers.
Whether you love horses or not, ornaments and statues of horses are fairly commonplace these days. Those who know about horses will be aware that ornaments come in all breeds. Among the most popular are Clydesdale, Mustang and Arabian. However, these days there are hundreds of different breeds, so if you wanted a special figure based on a specific breed you would probably need to ask.
If you've already got a sizable collection of figurines then you'll probably want to show it off. In that case you'll most likely need a display cabinet. The size of the cabinet is effected by the number of ornaments in the collection. However, you must get a cabinet that fits the room you intend to display the figures in.
If you have a display case then your only concern could be what to put in the case. Putting the figurines in the cabinet in a haphazard fashion will probably not draw the attention of guests. Perhaps a display that looks historically at the role of horses throughout history would be more interesting. This would need some cowboys and Indians, as well as some horse-drawn carriages.
If you're a novice collector then it might be a good idea to think about exactly what types of figures you want to collect. This will mainly depend on your budget, but will also depend on what types of materials you have a liking for. Some people will only collect things from certain artists, or they may restrict themselves to products of a certain size, say, due to space considerations.
When adding to or starting a collection, sometimes not enough consideration is given to the aesthetics. For instance, you might be a huge fan of pewter and crystal. But think about if these types of figurines really would look good in the same display case. Think about your budget too when making the decisions, as pewter is cheaper then crystal and more durable.
If you are the type that likes to keep an open mind, then you might well be interested in making your own ornaments. There are a number of reasons to do this. Perhaps you could make them for Christmas instead of buying friends presents. It's cheap and you can enroll children to help you. You might balk at making presents for people so perhaps a better idea is to make figurines to put on your Christmas tree.
Horse figures come in all shapes and sizes. There are the more obvious things like life-size statues outside racing venues, as well as ornaments that rest on the mantelpiece. Another idea, even though they are not what people think of as figurines, is to use jewelry. Images of horses can be easily made in jewelry, such as charms and bracelets and given to friends and relatives..
