Western Horse #2

This is the Western Horse that caught my eye initially, and the one I almost left behind. I think he's a chalky - he has that "glow" that they have.

 Western Horse, #57, 1970-1990, $15, Sell It Here 1, Lafayette, Indiana, 2/2015.

I asked on Model Horse Blab if anyone knows anything about that mold marking and found it had been added in the 1970s. That fits the chalky era and supports my thought that this is a chalky piece.

 A check of the hooves can often confirm chalkiness. 

They are not completely white, but then again, they aren't puddled, either.

Still, every time I look at this piece among my other Western Horses, its glowing coat jumps out at me, just as it did in the antique shop.

I am going to identify it as a chalky, at least until I get strong verification otherwise.
