Breyer Horse Item #1359

Tommie Turvey's Pokerjoe
with DVD featuring The Riding Instructor

Description: The Pokerjoe model horse is part of the Breyer Traditional Portrait Model collection. He was sculpted using the Adios mold created by Chris Hess in 1969, making this portrait model horse more collectible because of the history of the model.

Top trainer, clinician, and stuntman Tommie Turvey and his American Paint horse, Poker Joe, have forged a unique bond to become one of the most sought-after equine acts in the United States, appearing in TV shows, commercials, and such movies as Witness Protection!

The Poker Joe model includes an exclusive DVD with highlights of Tommie Turvey and Poker Joe in action at equine fairs and expos across the country along with behind the scenes commentary from Tommie.

All the world's a stage to a horse named Pokerjoe "the funniest horse under saddle" and faithful companion of equine entertainer and trainer, Tommie Turvey.

With over 14 years of touring and performing with Tommie, Pokerjoe has done it all. He has performed fast-action trick riding, roman riding, jumping over fire, incredible stunts and comedy in just about every major horse show in North America. He is featured in TV shows, commercials and even starred with "Larry the Cable Guy" in the 2008 movie "Witless Protection." In 1999, Tommie began creating an act that would showcase Pokerjoe and his personality. After two years of trial and error, "The Riding Instructor" was born. In this one-of-a-kind act, a snooty "riding instructor" tries to school his horse in the fine art of dressage. We soon find out who is schooling whom. Pokerjoe gets the best of the trainer with hilarious results. This act not only showcases Pokerjoe, but also Tommie's talents as a trainer.

What is next for Pokerjoe? Las Vegas? Hollywood? Who knows! They continue to tour the world and put smiles on the faces of countless children and adults.
