Welcome to
Identify Your
Hagen-Renaker! This site, created and run by a fellow collector, currently focuses on the many horse figurines created by the
Hagen-Renaker company of San Dimas, California. There are hundreds of photos here to drool over and information
on every Hagen-Renaker horse figurine that I know to exist. I have been
collecting Hagen-Renaker figurines for several years and have created
“Identify Your Hagen-Renaker” in order to help collectors identify what
they have and discover what they must have. The site is entirely free to
use, with hosting costs paid by advertising revenues and your purchases
made through this Amazon.com
link. The information you’ll find here has been obtained from
many sources and
is accurate to the best of my knowledge. If you have corrections or
additional information, please don't hesitate to contact me at info@identifyyourhagen-renaker.com.
You'll notice that some
information on these pages is missing, mostly in photos and in the dates that a given
model was available. Hagen-Renaker doesn't put out collector catalogs as
Breyer does, meaning that it's a little difficult to determine when a
model was released and then discontinued. What would make my life easier
(and this site better!) would be some of the dealer order forms that H-R
sends out. I don't need the pricing and won't be publishing the sheets
themselves. Just having dated sheets listing what was for sale at that
time would be an enormous help! If you have any H-R order forms
you'd be willing to share please
email me!
If you have personal records of sales from the last decade or so those
would be most welcome as well.
Identify Your Hagen-Renaker,
like its sister sites
Identify Your Breyer and
Identify Your CollectA,
is a reference site and can be treated as such. You are welcome to copy
and save the information and photos found here for your personal use.
This means that you can use what you find here to create your own
inventory and want lists and save those lists to your personal computer.
You may also copy and print information found here for use in
documenting your model horse
show entries and use site
material as part of your forum post, blog, or hobby article, provided
that your work is substantially original. Giving source credit when you
use material you've found here is greatly appreciated.
What you can never do is use
material found here for personal or commercial gain. Some people try to
use photos found on these sites as their own, most frequently on auction
websites like eBay. This is not allowed, and is wrong not only because
you're using someone else's work without permission, but also, in the
case of sales sites, because you are deceiving your potential buyers by
showing them a picture of something other than what they're actually
bidding on. As should be obvious, you also may not use Identify Your
Hagen-Renaker photos and text to create your own identification website, app,
or online game. If you have questions about any of this this please contact
me.
How to
Identify Your Hagen-Renaker Figurine:
First off, Hagen-Renaker
figurines are ceramic. If you have a model that looks similar to one
found here but in plastic it's probably a Breyer model horse. Breyer has
licensed several of artist Maureen Love's H-R pieces, and you'll find
those on the Identify Your
Breyer website. Still here? Terrific! Let's get started. If you've
got a Hagen-Renaker horse figurine you should be able to identify it
based on the photos on this site. As you'll see I'm missing photos for a
few figurines, but the odds are good you'll find what you need. We'll
start with size. If your figurine is standing and only about an inch
high you've probably got one of the
Mini Mini pieces. H-R places
them within the Miniatures line but I've separated them here to avoid
confusion. There are only three pieces in this small line and the mold
page linked above shows photos of all of them. Next up in size is the
Miniatures line.
This is H-R's most popular line, and adults are typically 2"-3" tall,
with foals standing 1 1/2" to 2 1/2" tall.
Similar in size is H-R's
Specialties line.
These figurines are typically more detailed than the Miniatures and are
frequently on a base. If your piece has fine detailing or includes more
than one figure you'll want to start here. Have a piece that's larger
than any of these? Then you're probably fortunate enough to have a
Designers Workshop
piece. These figurines, introduced in 1952, are wonderfully detailed,
with adults typically standing 5"-9" tall. Designers Workshop (or DW)
models are highly sought after by collectors and can be quite valuable.
If you've gone through all
of the pages and don't see your model
drop me a line
