I was wondering about that weird horse figure handmade with hide and leather how much did you purchase it for? Carol from east haven CT — Anonymous

Hi Carol,

I am not sure if you are referring to my handmade horse that I bought in Brooklyn last year, or Sarah’s tiny taxidermy horse she bought at auction this year.  I’ll discuss both of them just in case…

My taxidermy horse (below) was purchased for some insane price that I think was $70.  The horse was later valued at Antiques Roadshow for a disappointing $45.

Sarah bought a tiny real fur horse at auction, but I am not sure what she paid.  She ended up selling it on ebay for $14.99. Apparently the lesson in both of our cases is that these horses don’t have a lot of value. 

Here is Sarah’s horse:

Feel free to share a photo of your horse on our Facebook page here.
