Breyer Horse Talk

All models are out of their boxes, but none have any scratches or are otherwise damaged in any way. Buyer pays shipping (I live in Fayetteville, GA, USA). I don't collect -- I played with them in my tween years -- and I based the "approximate value" column off internet research. I'm willing to take less for most of them (to a certain degree), so please don't be afraid to ask. I can also send pictures if requested.

I'm trying to save toward buying a real horse (one I've REALLY wanted for months) and this seems like a good fundraiser if I can sell enough of them.

Thanks so much for looking!

Breyer recently passed along some very sad new via their Facebook page. O'Leary's Irish Diamond, the subject of a popular Breyer Portrait model and a guest at this summer's BreyerFest, has died.

O'Leary's Irish Diamond was a Registered Irish Draught, who was imported to the United States in 1997 after receiving stunningly high marks from the Irish Horse Board breed registry.  He continued to receive stellar reviews and scores throughout his career, which included dressage, jumping, and eventing.

Among non-hobbyists there is a perception that old Breyer horse models are worth a lot of money.  For the most part this is untrue - between the sheer volume of Breyer models at large in the world, and the poor condition most of them are in, most collectors are lucky to get list price for their models.  

There is one notable exception to this rule, and that exception is Alborozo.

The real Alborozo is a gorgeous Andalusian stallion who lives at Kilimanjaro Ranch in California.  His likeness was cast by Breyer for their 2008 BreyerFest Celebration model, which was well received by collectors at the time.  His windswept mane and pose (a very collected canter?  About to rear up?  I confess to being baffled) were designed by Breyer sculptor Brigitte Eberl.  His dapple gray and detailed shading is lovely.
