WELCOME! Equine Miniatures is a fast-growing and fascinating facet of the fine miniatures genre. From saddles to harnesses, fine customized model horses to factory collectibles, this hobby has much to offer many people who have a penchant for miniatures and horses. Model Horse Showing is a growing activity, whereby model horses are set up in realistic scenes with true-to-life miniature tack and props.

Shows abound nation-wide and year-round, with room for beginners and youth along with experienced, long-time exhibitors. Supplying tack to hobbyists for competitive showing is how Rio Rondo got its start, and now we provide supplies to other artisans from coast to coast and around the world.

Whether you plan to show miniatures, simply display them at home, or create them for the sheer pleasure of the craft, Rio Rondo is the place to shop for the most unique selection of horse-related miniature supplies. Most of the specialty items found in this catalog are Rio Rondo exclusives— designed by and produced for Rio Rondo—items you simply cannot find anywhere else! Rio Rondo has been providing supplies to model horse enthusiasts since 1983.

So . . . take a few moments to browse through our latest catalog, and enjoy! You’re sure to end up with many new ideas for your miniature projects, and we’d love having you as a customer in the near future!

Size & Scale . . .

Traditional Scale (Trad.) includes Peter StoneTM and BreyerTM model horses of the larger size, as well as other brands and molds of similar dimensions.

Classic Scale (Clas.) is approximately 1:12 (dollhouse) scale, and includes mid-sized plastic models and accommodates some ceramic brands such as Hagen-Renaker, and the Peter StoneTM Pony.

Color Choices Please specify the color of items you order where applicable. Many kits containing strap goods such as bridles and halters may come in several colors. The basic color choice key is: K=Black B=Brown R=Rust N=Natural For metal items that come in silver or gold colors the key codes are: S=Silver Color G=Gold Color Ordering Example: KH1t-b = Stock Halter Kit/Brown color B12s = B12 buckle in silver color If no color choice for items available in several colors is indicated on your order form, we will ship the most commonly requested color for that item.

Units . . .

The “UNIT” column on your order form means how the item is packaged and sold—for example, “each”, “set”, “pack”, “pair”, “sheet”, etc.

Etched Items If you are ordering etched items such as buckles, slotted rings or hardware sheet assortments, we strongly recommend that you cut the pieces out of the sheets, rather than bend them apart. Any small pair of cutters will do. Start by cutting one or two edges of the ‘frame’ off of the sheet, then remove the parts in strips, and cut the strips apart. Sometimes bending the parts off the sheets will cause the parts to warp or break.

Special Orders Some items not shown or expressly offered in our catalog may be special ordered. Most notably, this would include items available in gold such as lacing, wire and sheet stock. If you have a need for these items, please inquire.

Leather is a natural product, so it is important to know that all leathers will feature a certain amount of inconsistency, due to the uniqueness of the animal the leather came from.

Scars, wrinkles and other small surface imperfections, as well as variations in thickness and texture, are all natural aspects of leather. Tooling leather in particular is subject to a certain amount of surface inconsistencies, although most can be tooled over, and dyed with no problem In regard to leather lace, splices may be found here and there and are standard in the manufacturing procedure. (There are no cows that we know of that are 25 yards long.)

Resins & More When it comes to collecting and the hobby arts, resin-cast sculptures are in a class of their own. A step up from plastic, resins are often issued directly and exclusively from the sculpting artist (or their business partners) and the molding quality and details are exquisitely faithful to each original.

Unpainted resin “bodies” (as we offer here) will require some seam preparation and priming before they are painted.

(However, some people like to collect resins “as is”!)

Some of the best tools for removing seams on resins and many other items are our Carbide Scrapers, found on Page 16.

Rio Rondo’s exclusive resins are cast in durable resin (the actual product you will receive is white colored) and are sculpted by Carol Williams. These editions are sold unfinished, for you to paint in your favorite colors and patterns in oils or acrylics.

BR8—Preparing Resins for Painting

Step-by-step guide tell you how to properly prepare and prime a resin-cast model for painting.
