Stuart Figures and Accessories

The Stuart figures, horses, accessories and colors shown here are referenced in the materials received from the Balterman family. The items on this page are from personal collections.

Stuart saddles are squared off at the rear and have partial girths. Stuart saddles and bridles are more rubbery than the Post premium tack. Stuart bridles were made in two styles – one smaller with rosettes on the side, and the other, plain and a bit longer, fitting the walking and rearing horses better. Both bridles were used for all horses and made in the same five colors as the saddles. Stuart lead bridles are turquoise and white, with turquoise more common. Shown below are Stuart horses, figures, dog, hats, rifles, tomahawks, pack saddles, travois and packs. Stuart packs were made in yellow, red, blue and turquoise (hard to find). Also, see the section on unusual Stuart colors at the bottom of this page.*

Smaller (rosette) bridles fit the running horses best
but were used for all Stuart horses.

**A turquoise travois, shown below, is of the same material and fits the
Stuart walking horse. It is collected as it was made in substantial
numbers and believed to be Stuart. (To date, it has not shown up in color
among Stuart materials nor in an original Stuart set.)

UNUSUAL STUART COLORS: Unusual Stuart Western toy colors sometimes appear for sale. They were possibly handouts to promote Stuart. Mr. Balterman told me that nothing was wasted in production. I received an email from a woman who'd written to Stuart when she was a child, telling them how much she loved their rearing horse. She received a pink and white and a red and white marbled rearing horse in the mail from Stuart (below, left). The red and silver walking horse photo (below, center), is from the Wayne Ratti collection.
