Sande Schneider - Uber Collector

Sande Schneider is the world's leading authority on Breyer horses. Her collection numbers almost 4,000 pieces! She's also a friend of mine who I met through the hobby. I know a pretty fair amount about Breyer collecting, but if there's a puzzle about a piece, it's Sande who I (and everyone else) turn to! Even Breyer - they have contacted her several times asking to use pieces from her archives.

Sande recently helped me identify the Boxer clock I found last week at Sell It Here.
 My clock.
 Jo Kulwicki's clock - picture from Sande's files.

I did my own research online when trying to figure out of my clock were real or not (I think it is.)
 An image I pulled from the internet as I tried to document my clock, the Davy Crockett Prancer clock, turned out to be Sande's!
 A Western Horse clock - unknown whose it is.
 A Boxer night light - image from internet/unknown.

Sande sent me some pictures of her own files:
 She has eight file cabinets chock full of documentation!
And binders galore.

Yes, she's the real Breyer guru and an uber collector!
