U.S. Art Supply Wooden 8" Horse Artist Drawing Manikin Articulated Mannequin

I was a little worried that this would be poor quality but it is very well made. The wood work is ecellent, it has excellent shape and subtle muscle tone, and joints move very well. It holds poses, and has two anchoring nuts to position the horse in running, jumping or eating positions. My daughter took to it with excitement and curiosity. Before getting this she already drew good horses, now she has been using the model horse to get a 3D effect.

Not only is the wood finish attractive, but the articulation is easy and conforms to most arrangements one can think of, neck is perhaps a bit too exaggerated, but overall an excellent tool for art and moreover pleasant on appearance. Very pleased with purchase.

It's a nice display piece...a very good price for a wooden horse.

I bought this for a friend who loves drawing horses. Not only does it work as a model for her drawings, but it is a fine piece and is on display in our home.

Good for artists who don't know all the views of horse moving. You can rearrange head, neck, & legs. Horse can look like falling down, rearing up, trotting, pacing, galloping. Very handy.

Smaller than I thought but love it!

It’s not perfect, but almost every pose you might need to draw a horse in is possible. Some poses take a bit of work to figure. The horse can’t be moved up and down, or taken off the pole, which I feel like would be helpful at times, but I have been able to pose this horse as realistic as I need to so far.*Note: the last two images were created purely to show the range of tilt.

Arrived in one day in perfect condition. Very pleased!
