Breyer Model Horses for everyone! There are many styles of Breyer Horses for play and for collecting. There are many series of Breyer Horses including the most popular one, the Traditional Horse Series. Since 1950, Breyer has created authentic model horses for collectors and aficionados of all ages. Each model is sculpted from highly durable plastic, then hand-painted and airbrushed for the most realistic possible appearance. Breyer collectibles have been popular with kids for over 50 years! Each Breyer horse is a work of art. The creation process begins on a sculptor's table, where accomplished equine artists sculpt famous horses out of clay. The Breyer Horse sculptors painstakingly define and capture each detail, from physical aspect of bone structure, muscle tone, relative size and overall shape, to character and mood. The final pieces of art are cast in steel, injection molded of cellulose acetate, a highly durable plastic, and hand-painted and airbrushed to attain their realistic appearance. Famous horses, fictional characters and all of the popular breeds have been represented in the Breyer Horse line, including Cigar, Secretariat, Man O' War, Khemosabi, Wing Commander, Gem Twist, Niatross, Big Ben, Rugged Lark, Misty of Chincoteague and many more. Produced in four sizes from the traditional 1/9 scale Traditional Series to the smallest size Stablemate Series at 1/32 scale, Breyer model horses of every size are part of many a fond childhood memory. A coveted collectible for adults, Breyer horses are popular for model horse competitions as well as artistic endeavors such as customizing and tack making. Collecting, Showing and Customizing - the model horse hobby has given rise to many Breyer Horse Clubs and shows throughout the country, such as BreyerFest, the annual convention devoted to model horse enthusiasts and collectors. We stock a wide selection of horse gifts, from toys to dinnerware.
