Breyer

Breyer refers to a line of hand-painted model horses and related figures produced by Breyer Animal Creations. The figures are known for realistic sculpting and detailing, and they come in several sizes that are popular with collectors, hobbyists, and educators for display or dioramas.

The Breyer brand originated in the United States in 1950. Over the years it has offered multiple scales, including Traditional (the largest), Classic, Stablemates, and Mini Whinnies. Most models are molded in plastic and then hand-painted, with some limited editions cast in resin. Many molds have remained in production for long periods, while new variations and color schemes are periodically released to preserve variety for collectors.

Breyer maintains a dedicated community around its products, including official club releases and an annual fan event known as BreyerFest, held at the Kentucky Horse Park. The brand has a strong presence in toy and hobby markets worldwide, with models sold through retailers, catalogs, and online marketplaces. Breyer models are used not only for display but also as educational tools and props in equine-related contexts.

In addition to its mainstream offerings, Breyer has produced limited and special edition figures that are sought after by collectors for rarity or unique detailing. The brand has influenced the broader field of model animal sculpture and remains a recognizable name in the world of collectible figures.
