Introducing the Fifth Release in the America the Beautiful Series – Kaibab!
Breyer 2018 Collector’s Club Members rejoice, the newest web special run was released this morning (or afternoon depending on where you live)! His name is Kaibab and his product number 711251. He is the old Chris Hess Show Stance Morgan who I refer to as the Stretch Morgan. Kaibab is a gorgeous glossy silver dapple tobiano pinto. Current 2018 Breyer Collector’s Club Members may enter once per day through February 11th, 2018 for the chance to purchase Kaibab. He is priced at $185 and I anticipate his postage will be the standard $17.50 for UPS Smart Post (domestic only, International postage is more.) Make sure that you are logged in to your Breyer Collector’s Club account and follow this link to see Kaibab.
Speaking of the Stretch Morgan mold, did you see the wonderful Woodgrain Morgan that just sold on eBay? This was not my auction but I wish it was! I wonder who the lucky high bidder was?

Kaibabi is part of the America the Beautiful Series. My personal favorite in the series is still Rainier.
I’m not sure if I will be entering for Kaibab or not. Money is tight right now and I’m not sure that he makes me want to whip out my wallet to the tune of $202.50. Hrrmmmm. I just received a mystery box from Breyer yesterday that appears to be a backorder but is rather crushed and I need to examine the contents. I’ll have to think about Kaibab and check that the mystery horse I received is in good condition. Thinking thinking…
Here is what Breyer has to say about Kaibab:
Kaibab – The Fifth Release In The America the Beautiful Series!
In 2018, Breyer’s America the Beautiful Series celebrates special places of beauty and wonder – our National Parks & Forests! From deep, dry canyons to soaring snowcapped mountains, to rolling hills and plunging waterfalls, these beautiful horses honor our country’s diverse landscape. Varied like our nation’s scenery, the horses in this series will delight your imagination and encourage you to explore!
The Kaibab National Forest is located in northern Arizona. Stretching 1.6 million acres, it borders both the north and south rims of the Grand Canyon. It features dramatic scenery such as evergreen forests, jagged and sparse plateaus, and places like the Sycamore Canyon Falls, where the cliffs plunge towards the river – changing color from an earthy brown-red to a silver grey.
Kaibab’s silver dapple tobiano coat evokes the colors of the richly-hued rocks, and the rugged natural texture of the wind- and river-carved plateaus. He features detailed eyes, and has a high gloss finish that really highlights his gorgeous shading! His belly is marked with “Kaibab 2018.”

[…] I’m surprised by the back to back release of Kaibab and Gettysburg. Kaibab was also part of Breyer’s America the Beautiful series and was released in February. I passed on Kaibab but after seeing in person pictures of him, wish that I had tried for a chance at him. Kaibab turned out just lovely! Here is a link to our blog post on Kaibab. […]
