Does anyone else here still collect Breyer horses? Lots of pictures!

[Kelly G]

I have loved these since I was 5 years old...and I'm 42, now, and still love them!

I'm not a large volume collector, but I collect those that move me either with their exceptional beauty (in my opinion) or their sentimental value.

Here are a few of those that I have:

One of my favorites is this one - to me it is one of the most realistic & beautiful sculptures...and I just LOVE Huckleberry Bey++

I love this one, too...especially the palomino color (it also comes in chestnut mare/gray foal).

Love this one, too!

Hmmmm...I'm seeing a pattern of Arabs, here!


Just to break the cycle....I love this Andalusian...

I love jumpers when they "lock on" to the fence...LOVE IT!!!

I SO want his one...but now it is around $300 to buy it

...and here are 3 other resin sculptures I want not made by Breyer. They are made of a similar resin in a similar sized to the traditional line...


Gorgeous Hackney Pony I want!!!

Cantering Arab, Amankhar:

...and how could I not get this cute Fjord one?!!!

I do! I have lots of my mom's old retired ones, and new ones that I have purchased (I even have a custom model made by someone right here on BYC!) I think I have over 100 in all but I haven't counted in a while. I have a hard time finding space for them all... six shelves and a bookcase don't seem to be enough!

Um, yeah, hang on... I keep them arranged in breed-correct "families" like my mom did. Not quite sure why, as I know this is not how it would work out with real horses. But it's just a habit, I suppose!
