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!

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.
So here we go, all available now at Chestnut Ridge
Which one are you planning to add to your herd? My favourite is definitely Chablis, I really love him, he's one of my favourite models. 10/10 would recommend.
