Metlox Poppytrail or Lane Piece

Friday I found this piece at Devine Antiques in Lafayette.
 Metlox Poppytrail or Lane ceramic, $9.95. Devine Antiques, Lafayette, Indiana.
 He's big and he's heavy. This is Breyer's Misty to give perspective.
 The flip side.
The piece is obviously old as the glaze has crazing.

I've asked for some help identifying it via the Breakables group on Yahoo, and so far two hobby experts have weighed in:

I believe it is a Lane horse, but I think Metlox also made a similar horse. I have seen both on eBay before.

Yes, it appears to perhaps be a copy of the Metlox "Morgan" -- similar but not the same.
