The female cone (megastrobilus, seed cone, or ovulate cone) contains ovules which, when fertilized by pollen, become seeds. The female cone structure varies more markedly between the different conifer families, and is often crucial for the identification of many species of conifers.
The Early Years. Breyer Animal CreationsÂ® began as the Breyer Molding Company, a Chicago, Illinois-based plastics manufacturing company. Its first model horse, the # 57 Western Horse, made its appearance in 1950. It was a special order for the F.W. Woolworth Company, made to adorn a mantelpiece clock.
An English horse, Lastic, ridden by Nick Skelton, set an indoor high jump record not in a puissance, but over a traditional high jump fence in 1978 by clearing 2.3m (7 7 1/2). Anthony d Ambrosio and his horse Sweet n Low tied that record in 1983 in the puissance class at the Washington International Horse show.
