Mike Jackson’s Hartland Photos:
Brown and White Pinto Horses

Text & Photographs Copyright Mike Jackson 1998-2008


Hartland didn’t produce many different brown and white pintos. I can only identify four versions right now, unless you count slight color variations of the caramel/browns.
Brown and White Champ Pinto with dark brown tack:
It is hard to determine right now whether this horse colorization was one of the earlier Champ colors or later. Possibly produced all along with the other colors but it is quite a bit harder to find than the solid colored ones. Right now, I’s say he could have a Champ Cowboy or a Champ Cowgirl, but it is also possible that they just sold him as a horse and with a brown Champ saddle.
Brown and White Chubby Pinto without molded bridle:
The earliest of the Chubbies were used with Chief Thunderbird and had a rope for reins as shown here. Thunderbird was sold in both Brown and also Black pinto version of this mold. The color of this horse is a bit more on the caramel color than the later Tonto colors, though a few of the darker colored Brown and White Pintos do show up. This color and mold is less common of the group. Tonto was also shipped with this horse in the beginning, usually the style with the brown headband.
Brown and White Chubby Pinto with molded bridle:
This is Tonto’s most common horse, Scout. A few of the regular Chief Thunderbirds might have shipped with this horse, but I really doubt that happened. Because of the number of years this set was produced, this horse if fairly common.
Brown and White Semi-Rearing Pinto with mane up and slender tail:
One of the more rare horses. This one was combined with Tonto for a short period in around 1961, probably at a time they took the Lone Ranger off his full rearing horse and put him on a semi-rearing Silver. Possibly they were trying to generate more sales to previous owners of Tonto sets. I don’t believe this horse exists with a full wavy tail.
If you have, or know of any other Brown & White Pinto horses, please let me know!
