Breyer Diamond Jubilee Review

Breyer Diamond Jubilee
Average Reviews:

So is not really rated as a toy by me but as a collector piece. A beautiful model done in the "decorator" color scheme and is Breyers 60th Anniversary model. It will be highly prized some years down the road as it gains value through the years. This model arrived in a shorter time than expected and was well packaged and in excellent condition. Thank you, Amazon, for your great service!!!

The mare and foal are lovely, realistic, and great for pretend play. However, the legs are rather fragile and thin enough that they're next to impossible to repair. Be prepared for breakage if they're actually played with.

Scamper - Barrel Racer (1/12 Scale Model) Review

Average Reviews:

Scamper is one of my most durable, most realistic, most fun and easy-to-display models. Gentler kids can actually play with Scamper without banging him up too much. Scamper is well painted and he can even stand alone. He comes with a beautiful box explaining his accomplishments so he can be displayed in or out of box. This Breyer is well worth your money! You get a background, story, catolog, barrel, and the horse for a good price.

Introducing The Breyer? Horse Collection; a new horse series from Macmillan Children's Publishing Group and Breyer. Wild Blue: The Story of a Mustang Appaloosa, by acclaimed author Annie Wedekind, follows Blue, a roan filly, the color of rain, who stands out for her distinctive coloring and her intelligence. Surrounded by her beloved family, including her gentle sister Doe, and protected by her father, the band stallion, Blue lives a life both harsh and beautiful in the rugged terrain of an undiscovered habitat. That all changes though, when Blue and Doe are suddenly, inexplicably captured by rogue cowboys, setting in motion a chain of events that inadvertently threatens the very survival of their hidden, secret herd.Beautifully packaged with each novel is the Breyer portrait model of the horse hero. Sets include soft-cover editions (Age: 9).Praise for Wild Blue... "Deftly and tenderly, without being overly sentimental, Wedekind describes the subtleties of horse instinct and communication. Horse fans and animal lovers will embrace this book with unbridled enthusiasm. It deserves a place next to Marguerite Henry or even Jack London on young readers' bookshelves." - School Library Journal

Seattle Slew Review

Seattle Slew
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This model is great for anyone especially if you love history horses. The Seattle Slew model is great not only because of his neck thing of roses and his tall dark and handsome shape but because he was a TRIPLE CROWN WINNER! He's just an awsome model and would be a great addition to your collection. The only complaints I can think of are that you have to be very delicate with the flower thing or the flowers start falling off and Seattle Slew's back left leg bends in a little bit which prevents him from standing on carpet evan though he can stand on a hard evan surface. Make sure to check out the models, War Admiral(Triple Crown Winner) and Seabiscuit to.

Purchased as a yearling by a group of friends for a mere $17,500, Seattle Slew became the 10th horse - and the only undefeated horse - to ever win horse-racing's prestigious Triple Crown in 1977.

Great Spirit Horse Review

Great Spirit Horse
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Using the ever-popular "San Domingo" mold, Breyer offers this gorgeous paint. With the wonderful hand painted details, this lovely boy is sure to dress up any collector's shelf.
Sculpted in 1978 by Chris Hess, this mold has been popular with Breyer collectors for 25 years. With his flashy new paint job, he's sure to make an appearance at many collector shows. His calm walking pose makes him a good choice for beginning showers interested in performance classes.
Recommended for ages 8 and up, he's sure to find his way to Barbie's pasture, as well as the show ring. It is important to remember, however, that because he is hand painted he is likely to suffer a few "rubs" and scratches in the hands of smaller collectors. While his legs are a bit thicker than the smaller sized models, they will snap with enough pressure.
For a great gift idea, wrap him up with a book from the Thoroughbred or Saddle Club series.

Sheik af Hallundbaek Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These horses have remarkable information about the orginal horse on which they were modeled. They feature terrific detail and the horses even are scaled to each other, so you know which ones are larger in real life.
Some poses, such as this one, make it hard to stand the horse up unsupported unless the surface is absolutely flat.

Purchased for my 8 yr daughter who loves horses. This one is cute and it fits in her breyer trailer. Quick shipping, good price

The Appaloosa descends from the spotted horses developed in the 1800s by the Nez Perce Indians, who selectively bred them to be hardy and agile for hunting and war. Today, those same qualities have helped Appaloosas succeed in many disciplines, such as jumping, dressage, racing, reining and roping. The breed is most recognizable by its spotted coat patterns, mottled (spotted) skin around the eyes and muzzle and its striped hooves.

Breyer Zenyatta Review

Breyer Zenyatta
Average Reviews:

Zenyatta is a one of a kind horse. Legendary. I've always liked this Breyer mold, but wished that they would have made a new one for her. This Seattle Slew mold was also used on Afleet Alex and did not represent him well. Now I see they are using the Smarty Jones mold on the new Secretariat. Secretariat needs a new one of kind mold also.

Funny, flirtatious and fan-friendly describes the mighty 17 hand Zenyatta, who re-wrote racing history in 2009 by beating an all-male field to become the first mare to ever win the Breeders' Cup Classic. Indomitable on the track, this "super" filly has won all 17 of the 17 races she has run so far, outperforming former consecutive win record holders Cigar and Citation.Both the Traditional size model and Commemorative Ornament will be available in the Fall, just in time for Zenyatta to defend her championship performance in the Breeders' Cup at Churchill Downs in Kentucky this November

Breyer Rambo Blanket Review

The description I read on Amazon regarding this particular item was that it was purple. The picture does not depict that at all but when I ordered, I kept in mind that it was indeed a purple blanket and not greenish. I was, in fact, disappointed that it was purportedly purple so I was very happy to see for myself that it is indeed not purple but greenish as it looks in the picture. :) It looks EXACTLY as it does in the picture. I don't know how well it holds up or ease of use or anything yet as it is a gift for Christmas. So if I hear how it performs I will update my review. Very pleased with this item so far, though.

A nice jump, accurately representing the real thing. Bigger than you might expect. Has the usual construction defects that I've come to expect in these sorts of Breyer accessories: round poles are frequently bowed, holes in standards for round poles are misaligned, etc. In spite of this they look great with my horses "jumping" over them!

This is a beautiful breyer horse set. I grew up in the same town were these horses live and have acctually met them quite a few times. The model looks a lot like the real horses. Their story is extremely unique. Its amazing how a person could care enough to buy a very sick mare with a perfect heart shape on her forehead and bring her back to health, then the mare to give birth to a healthy colt with an arrow shaped marking on his hindquarters. Its a miracle! I reccomend all horse lovers to buy this set. The models are very durable and can go through a lot of wear.

One night, she surprised Buck by giving birth to a black colt - with an astonishing marking of his own: a large white arrow on his hindquarters!

Fox Valley Oliver, an 18 h. Shire, excels in halter and driving competitions as well as in the sport of combined driving. In addition to earning several reserve championships in the U.S. and Canada, he was named Senior Champion Stallion at the Ohio State Fair in 2003. His many champion offspring include the Best American-bred Stallion at the Ohio State Fair in 2002 and 2003 and the Senior Champion Stallion at the Mcleod County Fair in 2004. A champion ambassador for the breed, Fox Valley Oliver, an 18-hand Shire owned by Kathy Whitaker of Flying Feathers Farm in New Providence, PA, excels in halter and driving competitions as well as in the sport of combined driving. From 2000 to 2003, he earned several reserve championships in the U.S. and Canada and was named Senior Champion Stallion at the Ohio State Fair in 2003. He has sired many champions as well: Best American Bred Stallion at the Ohio State Fair in 2002 and 2003; Grand Champion Stallion, Junior Champion Stallion and Reserve Champions at the Ohio State Fair in 2002; Grand Champion Stallion and Junior Champion Stallion at the Ohio State Fair in 2003; Senior Champion Stallion at the McLeod County Fair in 2004; second place in Get of Sire at the Keystone International Livestock Exposition in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 2000 and 2005. Much of the history of the Shire horse is a mystery, but its lineage is believed to have begun with England?s "Great Horse,? bred with height and strength to carry upwards of 400 pounds in war. Later, the Shire?s role in society changed, like many draft horses, to farming and carriage driving. As cross-breeding enhanced many of the breed?s physical characteristics, its name endured several changes as well: the Black Horse, the Bakewell Black, and English Cart Horse. The latter was accepted by the pedigree society, established in 1878 ? black was considered a misnomer. The breed?s name was changed finally to "Shire? in 1884, and the pedigree society became known as the Shire Ho

Flame, The Island Stallion Review

Flame, The Island Stallion
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Walter Farely's Flame is a loved character for many people, but the model of the Island Stallion is not as good as it could be, in my opinion. The model makes him look a bit fat. He is more of somthing to look at, rather then play with. If you have a Black Stallion/ Island Stallion loving child, the toy is fine, but the parent of a regular horse crazy kid might consider somthing that one can actually put a bridle on.
