The Schleich Knabstrupper Mare features detailed spotting, flowing mane, and an elegant stance for realistic equine displays and collections.
The Schleich Knabstrupper Mare measures: 4.7” L x 1.5” W x 4.3” H
The Schleich Knabstrupper Mare showcases the breed’s distinctive spotted coat pattern with carefully applied paintwork and natural color transitions. The sculpt captures refined musculature, an alert head position, and a flowing mane that adds movement to the pose. As part of Schleich’s Horse Club line, this model is hand-painted and designed for accuracy, reflecting the athletic build and elegance associated with the Knabstrupper breed.
Constructed from durable, solid plastic, the figure is sturdy enough for regular handling while maintaining crisp sculpted detail. The balanced stance allows it to stand securely on flat surfaces, making it suitable for display or integration into larger equestrian scenes. The finish is smooth, with clean edges and consistent detailing that aligns with Schleich’s established standards for realistic animal replicas.
Knabstrupper mares belong to a Danish breed known for its distinctive spotted coat patterns, often associated with leopard-complex coloring. The breed traces back to the early 19th century in Denmark, beginning with a mare named Flaebehoppen, whose offspring established the line. While coat patterns vary—from full leopard spots to blanket or minimal markings—the breed is valued not only for appearance but also for temperament and versatility. Knabstruppers typically have a strong, well-proportioned build and are bred in both sport horse and baroque types.
In real life, Knabstrupper mares are used in dressage, show jumping, driving, and recreational riding. They are known for steady dispositions and trainability, making them suitable for amateur and professional riders alike. Although still considered relatively rare outside Europe, breed associations in Denmark and other countries maintain studbooks to preserve bloodlines and promote responsible breeding practices.
