The Model Horse Shower's Guide: Judging and Showing Model Horses: Written by Rebecca Herwoldt and Rebecca Slavin in 1982, this is an early hobby handbook that offers the basics on breeds, colors, halter and performance showing, various kinds of tack, and even customizing and tack making. It is interspersed with illustrations and photos of vintage RRHs and OFs and one notable page about how to remake (regrettably) what appears to have been a mint buckskin Indian pony with warpaint (eek!).
