Here he is in all of his horsey horseness, Captain Oats, Seth's trusty and often silent sidekick. The very horse that helped Seth in multiple pickles that he of course most likely got himself into.
If you didn't know already, captain oats wasn't an exclusive made for tv prop. Captain oats comes from a line of horse toys by Breyer, a collectable toy company.
Captain oats is actually model 1119 "Pony of The Americas" and is highly sought after not only by Breyer horse collectors but fans of The O.C.
They are semi scarce and go for around 100 bucks and sometimes higher than that!
Recently the people that are backing The O.C. Musical purchased a Breyer 1119 (assuming online)
for their O.C. tribute musical as well as a Princess Sparkles, both replicas.
So keep your eyes peeled on eBay and you too could talk to Captain Oats in troubled times!
Rumor has it that there wasn't a set number of actual Captain Oats props used on the O.C., Adam Brody has quoted that he doesn't remember if there were 1 or 10.
Where is Captain Oats now you ask? Josh Schwartz, the creator of The O.C. has both Captain Oats and Princess Sparkles sitting on his desk located in his office. Truly priceless! Way to go Josh!
