Schleich Knabstrupper Gelding: Snow-white, black-spotted detailed horse figurine that sparks imaginative play and introduces kids to horse breeds.
The Schleich Knabstrupper Gelding measures: 5.9” L x 1.5” W x 4.2” H
The Schleich Knabstrupper Gelding (Item #14916) accurately represents the distinctive Danish breed known for its white coat with dark leopard-style spots. The sculpt captures the compact, muscular build typical of the Knabstrupper, with attentive ears and a balanced stance that suggests calm strength. The black mane and tail contrast cleanly against the spotted body, and the paint application highlights the individual markings that define this breed.
Like other Schleich horse models, this figure is made from durable, solid plastic and is hand-painted, giving it a realistic finish suitable for both play and display. It integrates well with Schleich’s broader horse collection, making it a practical addition for collectors or children building a stable lineup of recognizable breeds.
The Knabstrupper is a Danish horse breed recognized for its striking spotted coat patterns, most commonly the leopard pattern of dark spots on a white background. The breed originated in Denmark in the early 1800s and developed from a foundation mare known for her unusual coloring. Beyond appearance, Knabstruppers are known for strong bone structure, balanced conformation, and an expressive, refined head. They are typically athletic and versatile, combining power with agility.
Knabstrupper geldings are widely used as riding horses and are valued for their steady temperament and willingness to work. The breed is active in dressage, show jumping, eventing, and driving, and it is also popular for recreational riding. Although not as numerous as some mainstream European sport horse breeds, Knabstruppers are recognized internationally and are selectively bred for both performance ability and their distinctive spotted coats.
