Grand Champions were a line of toy horses which sadly rode off into the sunset many years ago! They were produced from about 1988 to 2008.

The horses were about the same size as a Breyer Traditional size horse. They were definitely more on the "toy" side of things, but they were so wonderful in their toyness. They had rooted manes and tails for you to brush and braid and loads of accessories. Unlike many toy horses, the Grand Champions and their accessories were on the realistic side of things as opposed to being pink, so they were for any horse-loving kid! Amongst model horse collectors, these horses are still loved by their fans :-)

I can't tell if it was marketed in the US under the Jell-O named brand or not after finding the commercial below. I haven't seen it on the shelf for years, so I assume it's no longer made. The only one I can find are Hunt's Snack Packs and they seem super cheap :S
