Welcome to the CAROL WILLIAMS GALLERY

arol Williams is one of the most well-known and popular artists in the model horse hobby and has been involved in it for many years. She has been customizing models for nearly as long and her older pieces are still competitive in today's shows!

In the summer of 1988, Carol sculpted a limited edition Quarter Horse which has come to be the standard in stock horse classes to which all other models are compared. This was also one of our hobby's first resincast models, a run of 200 models. Carol sold these horses either prepainted in "artist" colors, or custom-painted exactly to the customer's wishes. She also gave the option of a sculpted mane and tail or haired, both types of which are lovely. Her artistic talent with oil paints is amazing; each horse is different, beautiful, and a masterpiece to behold and own.

November 1992 was the official sell-out date of all available copies, although the last of the custom ordered ones was not completed until about December 1994. These models are now extremely hard to get and very collectable; they rarely change hands and are coveted by those lucky enough to own one! When the edition first came out, owners proudly brought them to live shows to compete and there were many to see, but in the past couple of years, fewer and fewer are seen as the value and fragility of this model outweighs the probability of a class win. This is unfortunate because the models are so stunning and live shows are one of the only times hobbiests can see any of them.

This gallery shows approximately 75 of Carol's beautiful Quarter Horses.

There is also a separate set of pages showing Carol's Arabian sculpture, which began production in 1994 and is a run of 125.

empty Carol now has her very own web page, so now you can visit Rio Rondo! If you would like to contact Carol, you may reach her by email using the link from her nam.
