***Classic Original Stallion***
Comments: The first stallions debuted in 1988 in this pose, so-called the "classic" pose. The model is in a walking gait, with the right foreleg raised and head turned slightly to the right. The models had distinct muscles carved in the neck, shoulders and hindquarters. This pose was released by all the parent companies. Early on, a small white button was added in the middle of the back to turn the model into a "sound stallion". In later years, this pose was modified to become an "Action Champ", where a button on the withers would move the foreleg when depressed.
This is one of the most popular poses, with more than 30 unique horses made.

Fire Flame burns up the score cards in the show ring in Western Pleasure classes. He is the envy of all who see him with his tail touching the ground and smooth moves. No one can beat him! His arabian breeding gives him fiery eyes and animated action with a floating trot. When he is turned out to pasture he goes off with his tail held high like a flag! His owner loves how he nickers at him when he comes to the gate. Fire Flame will tip his hat off though, as he loves to play! Special notes: Purebred Arabians do not have the cream gene, which means palomino is an impossible color for Arabians to have. In order to be a purebred Arabian, Fire Flame is genetically a flaxen chestnut. There is a Palomino registry, to which horses that meet the criteria for "looking palomino" can register. NIB
