'''Born in the high country, Big Red has always loved open spaces. He's the pride of the ranger rescue team that patrols the northern Rockies. More than once, Big Red's strength and endurance, his instinctive sense of direction, and his special courage have saved lives of campers and climbers, making him a very special kind of champion.'''

Editions
Originally released in 1994 as part of the Sorrel Quarter Horse Family Set. This set included Big Red in the Classic Stallion Pose, a bio card, Copper Penny and Rusty.

The 1994 edition of Big Red was also sold separately in the Classic Stallion Pose with a bio card, brown western tack and red saddle blanket. This model was reissued in 1995 with the updated modern GC brand.

He was later released as a "Talking Stallion" in 1995. Two different versions of the Big Red Talking Stallion were produced, positioned in both the Classic Stallion Pose and the Running Stallion Pose. Similar in design to the original model, the sound-enabled version had a button on the horses' back under the saddle, which when pressed, would make whinnying or galloping noises. The electronics inside the horse also meant that these models weighed more than other versions. The Talking Stallion editions of Big Red both came with a bio card, brown western tack and red saddle blanket.
