Happy Veteran’s Day 2016! Special Sales and Thank You :)
| November 11, 2016 | Posted by aidanstoytrove under Model Horse |

I very much wanted to write a special blog post for Veteran’s Day but I unfortunately ran out of time. I did write a blog post about Blackjack and the Riderless Horse for Memorial Day. If you happened to miss it, there is a link to it below.

We are running a straight 10% off sale in our eBay Store on a number of Breyer horses. A lot of these are great deals on discontinued New In Box horses as we are trying to clear room for our incoming Christmas stock. I meant to list a NIB 1288 Blackjack this morning but it slipped my mind. I’ve had his listing finished and ready for today for a bit now, der. He is listing to eBay as a Fixed Price listing with Best Offer enabled at 11:00am PST today. I also have a resin 8134 Black Jack Resin here that will be listed for sale but I haven’t even started his listing yet. If you are interested in purchasing, please inquire privately [email protected]. I’m willing to offer a discount if I don’t have take the time to edit all of the pictures and make a brand new listing.
We plan to offer a special Veteran’s Day sale coupon for items on our website. I’m still working out exactly how to do this but keep an eye out for it as it will be a significant discount! Have a safe and wonderful Labor Day everybody! Most importantly, a huge thank you to all that serve or have served. This country could not exist without you!
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”

Have You Seen Breyer’s Christmas Crystal and Crispin?
| November 10, 2016 | Posted by aidanstoytrove under Model Horse |


Breyer again is spoiling us with a website exclusive SR Holiday horse set. This year it is Crystal and Crispin! They are the Grazing Mare mold in a lovely light wintry dapple grey and the Grazing foal in a darker grey. Breyer’s description says that the foal has dapples but I don’t see any in the stock photos. Crystal and Crispin come with matching blue snowflake blankets. They are priced at $75.00 plus $14.50 for domestic ground shipping.
I am very tempted to purchase this set. How about you? Will you be caving and purchasing??


Breyer 2016 Holiday Website Exclusive
Crystal and Cripsin are available for purchase directly on Breyer’s website.
Breyer has this to say about
712184 Crystal and Crispin:
A 2016 Bre yerHorses.com Exclusive Holiday Mare and Foal Set!
Gift Set Includes Blankets!
With their rich dapple grey coats Crystal and her foal Crispin are sure to bring holiday cheer to all.
Wrapped in lovely snowflake blankets, this beautiful mare and her newborn foal are truly a special gift!
1/9 scale and comes in a mail order box.
To date, Breyer has only offered 2 other Christmas Website Exclusive Christmas Special Run sets.

The 2016 Set was Eve and Claus (left)
The 2015 Set was Vixen and Blitzen (right)
Like Crystal and Crispin, both sets came with special holiday blankets. The quality on the blankets was exceptionally nice with realistic fasteners for the straps. I think my favorite part of these 2 sets was the blankets :p
I do have an extra set of Eve and Claus that I need to list for sale.
Please email [email protected] if you are interested in purchasing. I’m happy to give a discount if I don’t have to take pictures and make a new listing!
Have You Seen The New Breyer Web Special Run Avalanche
| November 9, 2016 | Posted by aidanstoytrove under Model Horse |



Have you seen the newest Breyer Web Special Run Avalanche? She is the Bobby Jo mold in silver filigree!
In the past, the silver filigrees have been very popular among collectors. I anticipate that Avalanche will be in high demand. She will be limited to 350 pieces.
Members of the Collector’s Club may enter by lottery once per day until November 14’th at 23:59EST.
I will definitely be entering for a chance to purchase Avalanche. I’m still curious who won the Breyer’s latest Test Color offering on the Clydesdale Mare. Anyone want to fess up??
Will you be entering for a chance to purchase Avalanche?
Breyer has this to say about Avalanche:
Meet Avalanche! 2016’s Winter Web Special
Like the winter winds during a snow storm Avalanche is going to whip her way into your hearts with her beautifully high glossed silver filigreed coat; reminiscent of Breyer’s vintage decorator roots. Avalanche is sure to be the cure for the winter blues!
Limited Edition: 350 Pieces
Your Price: $165.00
If you are a fan of the Bobby Jo mold, we do still have a very limited number of BreyerFest Sheilas available for purchase. I have one last copy of the Premier Club Bobby Jo that I’m hoping to keep for myself but we shall see.

The BreyerFest 2017 Celebration Horse Is Nazruddin
| November 6, 2016 | Posted by aidanstoytrove under Model Horse |

I don’t know about you, but I’m about ready for BreyerFest 2017! Seeing how quickly this year has flown past, I’m sure that BreyerFest will again be here in no time. Next year’s theme is Gateway to India. The dates are July 14th - 16th. To be honest, I’m a bit perplexed by the theme but I’m excited to see how Breyer will make it work.

It look as though the Celebration horse will be a Nazruddin, a champion Marwari owned by Francesca Kelly. I found this fascinating article on the Smithsonian website about Francesca’s Kelly’s effort to bring the Marwari breed to the United States. You can read it here:

I think it’s pretty safe to say that Breyer will be using the 1495 Marwari Mold to represent Nazruddin. But I could be wrong, who knows what surprises Breyer has in store for us!
We do have some of the discontinued Breyer 1495 Marwari in stock and available for immediate shipment.
What other breeds and models do you think Breyer will make part of BreyerFest 2017?
