On June 8, 1958 on the occasion of Roosevelt's 100th birthday, as a great parade took place in Giengen, an almost life-size horse with the figure of Roosevelt was shown on one of the many procession cars - mounted on his horse and dressed in the uniform of the first US volunteer cavalry regiment - the Rough Riders. Our Steiff designers were inspired by this legendary figure and have created a unique homage to the great Teddy bear friend, "Teddy" Roosevelt, with the handsome Teddy bear on a beautiful horse. This elegant rider is presented as a cream-coloured, jointed Teddy bear made of finest alpaca. As a statesman, he is wearing a sand-coloured uniform made of cotton with a leather belt and a brown hat. The brim of his hat is fixed with the gold-plated Steiff "Button in Ear" The horse crafted of exquisite mohair and has been hand painted realistically and with a great deal of detail. His hooves, the handmade saddle as well as the bridle are made of genuine dark brown leather decorated with studs and miniatures in perfection. The horse with his rider is mounted on a wooden pedestal and its glazed surface is adorned with a small brass plate that bears the inscription "Rough Rider". Horse and rider are part of a Limited Edition of 1,858 pieces - commensurates with Teddy Roosevelt's year of birth. 12 Inch (30cm) Complete with Steiff Box /Bag and Certificate “FREE” NEXT DAY DELIVERY TO U.K. Comes with all Certificates Attached + Steiff Box.
