Breyer 2025 TSC Exclusives

You've probably already seen a couple of these guys as they were leaked earlier in the year but here is the full run down of Breyer 2025 TSC Exclusives

First up we have this year's FFA model. This is Emery a lovely blue overo on the Firefly (Standing Quarter Horse Mare) mould


OK sorry I should have edited the picture it has way too much white around it! Anyway just go with the giant white box.

Second we have my person favourite which is Brooks. Brooks is a gorgeous buckskin pinto on the Morgan Stallion mould.


Next up we have a popular model on an older mould. Lots of people love this guy. I do like the San Domingo mould and the colour is really nice. This is Colby.


Finally we have one of my least favourite Breyer moulds, the Llama aka Mustang Mare. TBH I also really don't like Firefly as a mould so there are two not like moulds out of this batch. That said I do quite like the light bay colour on this girl. This is Martina.


Which is your favourite TSC exclusive this year? Mine is definitely Brooks.

So Many New Breyer Models!

Breyer did a massive shadow drop yesterday (they have now promoted these items) and wow! What an incredible selection of models we have!

Let's start with the best of the bunch. This is the new 75th Anniversary Family Set


This incredible set is priced at just $150 and I have two amazing pieces of news for you. (1) the club discount works with them and (2) the collector's club special also works! Which means you can order these, add the code for the glossy model (& the glossy model of course) and get four horses instead of just three! That's awesome. I cannot wait to get this set, I am in love with the PAS he is just beautiful, the colour is absolutely amazing on him.

Bonus picture of the PAS because I'm in love


OK next up we have some new 2025 Holiday products that have just dropped.


First up is Cuddles the Pony for Christmas model for 2025. I love her cute little gingerbread blanket, it is adorable. The colour looks really nice on this Misty as well, a subtle chestnut pinto. There's no picture of her without her blanket so we'll have to wait for in hand pictures to see what she looks like.


Second is Sylvan the Christmas Classic. Look at those cute little reindeers, they are so sweet.


The 2025 Unicorn is Hyperion, I'm not sure about this one, the pink and silver is OK, I think I'd need to see him in person. Also there has to be a limit to how many Morgan Stallion unicorns one person can own.

Now onto the most important Christmas drop of 2025


This adorable creation is Nick the 2025 Christmas Plush. I absolutely adore this little guy, he is the cutest thing ever. Just look at his ickle beard, it is amazing

Right next up is some new Breyer USA exclusive Christmas themed merch.


First are some Breyer Holiday Socks for your stockings


Second we have this cute Christmas mug featuring the 2025 Christmas model.


Third is a blanket featuring the same design as the mug. I do love the Breyer blankets but the price range just means I feel I can't justify any more than the one I have


Fourth is this super cute little hat. Love this, it is adorable.


And finally we have a Christmas in Bloom pin badge.

Which is your favourite item from this drop? I adore that 75th Anniversary Family, I definitely need them in my collection, obviously I'll be adding Nick as well!

Breyer 2025 Halloween Range

Is it spooky season yet? It is definitely spooky season yet! SPOOKY TIME!

And what better way to kick of some spooky spooks than a run down of the Breyer 2025 Halloween range.

So without further ado let's get down to it.

We are going to start off with the Breyer 2025 Halloween Horse Arachne


Arachne is a gorgeous decorator with a spider theme on the Bobby Jo mould. Obviously I am adding this girl to my collection! Like most of the other Breyer Halloween Horses she also glows in the dark. That spider is going to look soooo SPOOKY when the lights are off!

Arachne should be available in the UK in the next few months. You can order from abroad now but if you hold tight you won't have to pay international shipping or customs!

Second we have Screech the 2025 Classic


Screen is a really cool owl themed decorator on the Quarter Horse Stallion mould. I love the deep blue colour, it is so beautiful and the owl design is super unusual and fun.

Third we have Webster the 2025 Breyer Plush


Obviously I'm in love with this little guy! I hope he will still be available at BreyerFest 2026 so I can get my paws on him. Webster makes such a cute pairing with Arachne with his adorable spider web theme and fun pink and orange colouration.

Fourth is the Breyer Spooky Surprise - Series 7 set


These guys come as blind bags so you won't know which Stablemate you are going to get. I cannot believe we are on series 7 already though! I genuinely did not realise they had been doing these for so long, in my brain this is a new thing. My favourite out of this batch is probably the mini Eek with his cute little spiders. Set includes:

Eek - M1 Alborozo
Tabitha - G3 Jumper
Thriller - M1 Brishen

Finally we have a new pin badge


This year's pin badge features the 2025 Halloween Horse Arachne. I love the sparkly green finish on this badge. I've wanted a Bobby Jo pin for ages but the only one is the USA flag one so I never bought it. I definitely want to add this one to my work lanyard!

Which is your favourite model from the Breyer 2025 Halloween range?

Hoofbeats and Maple Treats Event Models

Breyer have released the event models for Hoofbeats and Maple Treats the 2025 Breyer Collector's Event.

The Breyer 2025 Collector's Event is this October/November in Toronto (I did try and work out whether I could go out at the end of half term and fly back ready for work on the Monday but it wasn't quite possible and I don't think it would have gone down well).

At the Collector's Event you get two models with your ticket a Traditional scale model and a Stablemate scale model.

Let's start with this year's Traditional scale model, Legacy


Legacy is a lightly dappled bay on the Bristol mould. I'm quite surprised by this mould choice because firstly, it looks really similar to Voyeur (although obviously different variation) and secondly because this is now the third time they've used Bristol this year. Did they just over produce long mane Bristols or something? Because there are so many of them! Also usual complaint, give me plaits or hogged, no long manes please thank you.

Secondly we have the Stablemate Tamarkuz


Tamarkuz is a bright orange chestnut on the G5 Walking Thoroughbred mould. A cute little model that very much fits the theme of maple! He has definite maple leaf vibes.

What do you think of these guys? Are you also slightly confused by the 2025 Bristol obsession?

Iquitos

 Anyone who knows me knows I'm a bit frog obsessed so imagine how excited I was to see that Breyer's latest release in their Wild Animals series is a FROG! Yep that's right an actual frog themed model horse, how amazingly cool is that?



Not just any frog but a dart frog, one of the coolest and most colourful creatures out there. Iquitos was inspired by the poison dart frog and is a gorgeous decorator on the Bristol mould. I absolutely adore this model, his colour is absolutely beautiful.



If you'd like to get your paws (or frog legs) on him then you need to be part of the Breyer Collector's Club. Entries are open for him now. He will be priced at $200 if you are lucky enough to get picked for him.

New Sales Models Available

I feel like everyone wants to have a clear out of models at the moment! I have had so many messages with collections and job lots for sale that I am becoming quite overwhelmed as to where I am going to store all these horses! I even purchased two new boxes a few weeks ago (which are both already full)!

Basically what I'm saying is please buy some horses as my Traditionals box is full! And I've got two more coming today and another collection next Saturday so I really could do with the space!

Anyway moving on from my space issues, I am really excited about some of the horses in this lot. There were some really beautiful models. I also have a few smaller (and more budget friendly) models available as well. That's the wonderful thing about model horses, there really is something for everyone's budget.

New Arrivals

 The herd is ever growing and never shrinking. It grows and grows and I wonder, where will I put all these horses? The answer is I do not know. I have no solutions. Only horses.

This week it has expanded further as I have added 10 new models to my collection. Many of these were prizes at Celebration of Breyer Live 2025 but there is also a gorgeous new OF that came as part of a job lot for resale and I decided to buy for myself.


First up we have CRS Xing Fengsu. This model is Tiger's Eye and was the chase model from the Breyer Mini Whinnie Unicorn Surprise - Series 2


Second we have CRS Shivaji. Shivaji is Breyer Stablemates Blind Bags Peruvian Paso in grey.


Third we have CRS Smash and Grab. This is Moonstone who is also from the Breyer Mini Whinnies Unicorn Surprise Series 2 blind bags


Fourth is CRS Sneaking Suspicion which is Pyrite from that same Breyer Mini Whinnie surprise bag.


And finally CRS Snorri the Seal - the final model from the MW Surprise Bags


Next we have CRS Soft Target. This model is 'Snowdrift' from the Breyer Fire and Ice Unicorn Surprise bags released this year.


This is CRS Sophie's Choice, he is from an older set of Breyer Unicorn Surprise bags, he is the model 'Sky'


I was doing well for Peruvian Pasos! This is CRS A Spoon Full of Earth (Spoon). Spoon is another Breyer Stablemate Surprise Bag model.


And now we have my favourite from the batch. This is CRS Spycatcher. This is the Breyer Wapiti model, I love the modified tail on this model, it is so gorgeous and the main reason I kept him.


Finally we have CRS Look Up Child (Lawrence). Lawrence was one of six custom Breyer Stablemates that I painted as champion prizes for Celebration of Breyer Live 2025. I was lucky enough to win a champion and take Lawrence home. He is a custom Breyer G2 Standardbred to a max white, painted by myself.

So which is your favourite out of the new additions? Can you work out the naming theme I was using for the OFs?

Highland Pony Models

Today we are going to go through some of the Highland Ponies in my collection. The Highland Pony is a native pony of Scotland and is one of the largest British Native breeds standing between 13-14.2hh. Typical to other British Natives it is a hardly breed with a nice thick winter coat. Highlands are often seen in true dun but also come in grey, bay, black and chestnut. Like many other British Natives they should have very minimal white markings, with a small white star being the largest accepted for stallions and no white on the legs.

Commercial Resin & China

The first model is CRS Sleeping Beauty aka Beau. Beau is a Beswick Highland Pony in dun. I purchased Beau at a local auction house in a job lot of Beswicks and decided to keep him to add to my collection.

Original Finish


This is CRS Croissant Cryptid aka Thumbelina. Thumbelina came from the Best of BreyerFest 2021 set.


Secondly we have CRS Pablo Escabar aka Pablo. Pablo is another Breyer Stablemate G3 Highland Pony (sometimes also called the Athletic Pony). This one is the regular run Highland Pony.


This little guy is CRS Inspector Gadget aka Gadget. Gadget is from the British Breeds 4-Piece Set that was released in 2006.


This is CRS Facebook aka Kylie. Kylie was also a regular run Stablemate Highland Pony, older than Pablo.


This is one of my oldest Breyer model horses. This is the Breyer Traditional Pony Family stallion on the Haflinger mould. Named CRS Just Jack aka Jack.


This little Stablemate is a Breyer G3 Highland from the Best of British Stablemate set. Named CRS Creamy Olive Dance (Olive).

Which is your favourite out of this batch of Highland Ponies?
