The Schleich figures are modelled with attention to detail, hand-painted with care, and provide educationally valuable playtime. All English Thoroughbreds can be traced back to three Arab stallions born between 1680 and 1724. Other breeds are often crossed with English Thoroughbreds to make them more elegant. English Thoroughbreds were particularly influential on the development of warmbloods such as Trakehners, Holsteiners, Quarter horses and Morgan horses.

Schleich products are made of various plastics and paints. These are carefully selected on the basis of the specific requirements. Among the most important plastics types we use are polyvinyl chloride (PVC), thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), actrylnitril butadiene styrene (ABS) and other typical plastics for toys. Starting at the material suppliers, there is strict scrutiny from our quality assurance representatives. The paints used are perfectly adapted to the various types of plastic and have the greatest mechanical and chemical resistance. They ensure that Schleich products last a long time and make all of our products resistant to perspiration, saliva and wear – meaning they are completely safe to play with. The product is released for production only when it meets all the laws, standards and guidelines.
