Item Description

Breyer models begin as beautiful horse sculptures created by leading equine artists that are then cast into a copper and steel molds. Each model is created one at a time from the original mold, which is injected with a special resin selected by Breyer for its ability to capture the depth of detail, delicate feel and richness of color in our models. Once the model is molded, Breyers artisans take over, and the handwork begins. Each individual Breyer model is prepped and finished by hand and then turned over to the painting department for hand painting (with airbrushes) and detailing (with paint brushes). In all, some 20 artisans work on each individual model horse, creating an exquisite hand-made model horse that is as individual as the horse that inspired it.

This set has 16 horses, one mule and a Collie. It includes jumping accessories, barn, ladder, arena, three saddles, a blanket, leeds, a feed rack with feed, feed bag, salt lick, lantern, water trough, and more!
