Hamaca 1:9
Peruvian Paso Mare
by Fabrizio Sburlati & Sherry Carr
Hamaca is a 1:9 scale portrait model made for Verne Albright of his favorite Peruvian Paso mare. When Hamaca was tired of traveling she would simply sit down in protest. Verne requested a unique portrait of her as he remembered her best.
Hamaca's resin cast model has stainless steel wire support and comes with Verne's book, where her story is told.

Travel with Verne Albright on his famous Peru-to-California ride. Cringe as he encounters vampire bats. Feel apprehension as he’s chased by bandits, and when he rides into Nicaragua days after a violent revolution. Be there when a road grader driver tries to run him and his horses down. Experience the tension of facing malaria, typhoid, cholera, and bubonic plague. Come with him across the Peak of Death, where travelers have frozen to death standing. Feel his anxiety when he becomes a fugitive from the law in Mexico. And meet countless fascinating people including a witch doctor, bandits, a smuggler, a bullying sheriff, and a beautiful American girl named Emily.
Verne Albright has hundreds of articles and three books about Peruvian Paso horses to his credit. For years, he was the editor of the Peruvian Horse World magazine and its successor, the Peruvian Horse World Review. He was also the founder of the American Association of Owners and Breeders of Peruvian Horses.
During the breed's invasion of the United States in the 1960's and 70's, he arranged for the importation of over 250 head. His trips to Peru number more than 65, and he's been made an honorary lifetime member of the Asociacion Nacional de Crisdores y Propietarios del Caballo Peruano de Paso, the national breeders association in Peru.
