A tall powerful horse, often used in a team of four, capable of hauling
a loaded mail coach from one stage to the next, (10 - 20 miles, depending
upon the gradients and the road surface) at the regulation speed (8 -
10 miles per hour.) In a team of four, the offside leader and sometimes
the nearside wheeler would be light coloured, grey or nearly white. This
gave the coachman a 'marker' when driving in the dark. The model would
also be suitable for private driving carriages of the larger sort and
four-wheel delivery vans. For private driving, of course, a matched team
would be selected, see illlustration below. The photo above is of a smart
bay, which is a rich red colour with black mane and tail. It has a narrow
blaze on the nose and a little white on one sock. It would also be suitable
as a light pony at tenth scale, when it would be 13.2 hands suitable for
light private and trade vehicles.
This model is 5.5 inches to the withers, (16.2 hands at twelfth scale.) Allow 2.5 inches between shafts.
