MHHMHHModel Horse Hub is built by Amanda and Stephen Mount — a husband-and-wife team, and yes, that's really it. No boardroom, no investors, no growth team. Just two people who love this hobby and got tired of watching it get let down by tools that weren't built for it.
Amanda is the collector. She's the one who's lived inside spreadsheets, notebooks, and Facebook albums trying to keep track of a growing herd, and she knows this hobby from the inside — what LSQ means, why OF and CM aren't the same thing, what a showholder actually needs on class day. Every feature on this platform starts as an idea from Amanda, usually phrased as “I wish this existed.”
Stephen builds them. He turns “I wish this existed” into working software — the database that holds 10,500+ reference releases, the ring console that has to work from a phone at a fairgrounds with one bar of signal, the row-level security that keeps your financial vault actually private. If something on this site works well, Amanda probably asked for it and Stephen probably lost a weekend making it real.
It started the way it starts for most of us: a notebook. Then a spreadsheet. Then another spreadsheet because the first one got too messy. Then Facebook albums and mental notes about “that palomino I sold in 2019 — what was her name?”
The model horse hobby has exploded in size and sophistication, but the tools for managing a collection haven't kept up. There was no single platform where you could catalog your herd with proper multi-angle photos, track what you paid and what it's worth, and connect with other collectors — all in one place, with real privacy protections.
So we built one. Model Horse Hub is a purpose-built digital stable backed by a 10,500+ entry reference database — 7,000+ Breyer and Stone releases hand-verified from official catalogs, plus 3,500+ artist resins sourced from the Equine Resin Directory. When you add a horse, you're not typing in data from scratch. You're selecting from real reference data with mold, manufacturer, scale, and year already filled in.
Whether you collect Breyer Traditionals, Stone Artist Resins, or anything in between, Model Horse Hub is designed to grow with your herd — from a handful of childhood favorites to a serious collection of hundreds.
Row-level security means even our team can't see your financial vault. No ads, no selling your collection data, no “we may share with partners” clauses. Your purchase prices, estimated values, and insurance notes stay locked behind cryptographic access controls. Period.
We know what LSQ means. We know the difference between OF and CM. We know that a Breyer #5 is fundamentally different from a Beswick #5. Every feature was designed around how collectors actually work — not how a generic inventory app thinks you should.
No platform has ever built provenance tracking for model horses. Hoofprint creates a permanent digital identity for every horse — ownership history, customization records, show results, and photos that follow the horse, not the owner. The CarFax of model horses.
It's a fair question, and this hobby has earned the right to ask it. Model Horse Blab, the hobby's longtime forum, went dark for almost two years. MH$P — the sales hub this hobby relied on since 1996 — was hit by ransomware and never fully came back. We built Model Horse Hub knowing that history, not despite it.
So here's our commitment, in plain English: your data is backed up automatically, every single night. You can export your entire collection — every horse, every Hoofprint record, every qualification card — as a CSV, plus a PDF insurance report, anytime you want, straight from your settings. You don't have to ask us, and you don't have to wait.
And if we ever have to wind Model Horse Hub down — we hope we never do, but we're not going to promise you “never” — we commit to giving every user real advance notice and a full export window before anything shuts off. Your herd's history belongs to you, not to us.
Not someday — these are running right now, and you can use them today.
Host a show your way — in the ring or online. One-click NAMHSA-style classlists build your entire show structure in seconds. Run live shows from a phone-based ring console with table-side placings and champion callbacks, or host an online photo show with judge or community voting. Every result becomes a qualification card on the horse's Hoofprint — publicly verifiable, so a buyer can check a card before they buy.
Join or create groups for your region, your collecting focus, or any shared interest. Every group gets its own Notice Board — threaded discussions, channels, and pinned posts — so conversations stay organized instead of scattered across Facebook and Discord.
Artists manage their commission queue, share WIP photos with clients, and build a portfolio that speaks for itself. When a custom is delivered, the creation story flows into the horse's Hoofprint — permanently.
Upload your spreadsheet and we'll fuzzy-match every row against 10,500+ references. Generate insurance PDF reports with photos, values, and condition grades, ready whenever your insurer asks.
Model Horse Hub isn't just a collection manager — it's becoming the operating system for the hobby. Every feature on this platform exists because a real collector said “I wish this existed.”
And here's what's still ahead:
A camera-first upload flow for adding a horse straight from the show floor, and push notifications for offers, messages, and show results — so you're never stuck refreshing a tab.
We build what you ask for. Every feature request from the community gets heard, prioritized, and built. This is your platform.
We believe your data and your art belong to you. Because there is a lot of confusion regarding how modern websites are built, we want to be fully transparent about our technology and data practices:
Absolutely not. Model Horse Hub does not use user-uploaded images, descriptions, or custom artwork to train any Generative Artificial Intelligence models. We do not sell or share our database with third-party AI companies. Your photos and art remain your exclusive intellectual property.
No. Our reference catalog of 10,500+ models was built using traditional, standard data-gathering scripts, not AI scrapers.
We took strict measures to ensure our data collection was ethical, legal, and respectful of the hobby ecosystem:
AI is utilized exclusively as a backend utility to save time:
Your herd is waiting. Give it the home it deserves.
