The Highland is a Scottish breed of rustic cattle. It originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Outer Hebrides islands of Scotland and has long horns and a long shaggy coat. It is a hardy breed, bred to withstand the intemperate conditions in the region. Wikipedia.
Cheval was started by Johnny de Beer as a hobby in 1980. It is a true cottage industry which  up to a few years ago employed about 30 people, producing several different kinds of horses, ponies (especially the comical range) and cattle breeds.
Much of the Cheval figurines were exported to the UK and North America but lately production is much smaller.
Cheval has now branched into other themes such as the indigenous Nguni cattle, Horse and Man compositions and Wildlife but on a much reduced scale and fewer numbers per edition.
