2026 Stablemate Club Models - Batch One

I still feel like it's the beginning of the year so it feels really weird to be writing a blog post about the first batch of Stablemate Club models of the year!

For those of you who don't know if you are an international member of the Stablemate Club instead of getting each model shipped individually you get them shipped in two batches of three. They also come with a discounted shipping rate which means that as the Breyer clubs go it is actually quite affordable (no $90 shipping for a single PC horse). 

The first batch arrived this week so here they all are:

The first two are the stallion and foal set Arroyo and Baja. Arroyo is a roan stallion on the G4 Andalusian Stallion mould. He has been named CRS An Accidental Man and will be shown as an Andalusian x Campolina which is a breed I've used for another model on this mould which isn't in standard Andalusian colours with some success. The foal is a roan on the G5 Frisky Foal mould. This is actually my first OF model on this mould, I didn't realise that all I had was one custom! He has been named CRS Henry and Cato and will be shown as a Welsh B.

Next we have Westley. Now he has been receiving a lot of hate and is definitely not a popular choice from this year's selection. Unfortunately, like many of the G1 moulds (and actually just a lot of the older Breyer moulds) he is losing a lot of detail. This is really obvious on the face where his ears are basically non-existent and he's got a very rounded skull, almost like he's a bloaty. Someone described him as looking like a Scottish Fold and honestly once you see it you cannot unsee it! Despite that I am absolutely in love with the little deformed face horse. OK so he's never going to be a show model but he looks so cute and you can't help but feel sorry for him, like a deformed puppy. He's been named CRS The Good Apprentice and will be shown as a Paint Horse.

Next we have Najwa. Najwa had two variations the black rabicano and the rarer chestnut rabicano. As you can see I got the common black rabicano variation but I'm not too bothered as I think it was actually the nicer colour. Now, I am not a fan of this mould at all, I didn't like it as a Traditional and I don't like it as a Stablemate. This is the second to be added to my collection and both have very much just been o well I have it so I might as well keep it and it's only small type acquisitions, neither are models I would go out and buy. I do like seeing an attempt at rabicano in Stablemate scale though, it is something a little different and would be great to see it on a few more models. Named CRS The Bell he will be shown as an Arabian.

So there we have it, the first batch of Stablemate Club models for 2026. Did you manage to get the chestnut variation Najwa? I know I've seen at least one in the UK which is awesome! 

Also can you work out where all the names are from? If you've been reading this Blog for a while you should be able to get the connection and work out why I went for those four! (yes we are doing continuity now)

New Collection Pieces

 So this post should have been just four horses but as I was cataloguing them I realised that I hadn't catalogued all the models I photographed at the end of last year and put away when we made the new cabinets and move the horses out of the pony room. So I ended up spending several hours cataloguing horses and thought I might as well share all of them with you :)

There were a total of 32 models that needed doing, so enjoy seeing 32 new members of my collection.

CRS Don't Cry For Me Argentina (Buenos Aires) - Breyer Collector's Club Special Run Buenos Aires

CRS Flash Dreams (Christmas in Bloom) - Breyer 2025 Christmas Horse 'Christmas in Bloom'

CRS Perdita (Manaos) - Breyer Manaos

It was this model that made me realise that I hadn't catalogued the models! I was sat there thinking, shouldn't there be another Polo Pony that's not too far off the end of the list?

CRS Crowberry (Caroline) - CF Micro Pewter Exmoor painted by me to a bay

So there we go! A whole new batch of horses catalogued although some of them have been with me since last November! The four new ones are Buenos Aires, Alexandra, Mercutio and Caroline but it was nice to show off the rest of them.

You can also definitely see which naming theme I was using at which time! I do love the Pokemon names for the little Mini Whinnies (and a few of the others).

First Batch of Auction Models

 Breyer have announced the first batch of auction models for BreyerFest 2026 and we are off to a really good start!

So let's go through the first four models.

Lot #1 - Smart Chic Olena in Liver Chestnut Overo

This is my personal favourite of this batch. The colour was designed by Darynn Bednarczyk and is utterly gorgeous! I love the pattern and the liver chestnut coat colour is just beautiful

Lot #4 - Cantering Welsh Pony in Glossy Sun-Faded Black Blanket Spotted

This is my second favourite of the batch. The colour is just beautiful on this little girl and we just do not see enough Cantering Welsh Ponies. It's not a perfect mould but it's so cute (and of course it has plaits and we all know how I feel about a model with plaits). Designed by Christina Riley.

Lot #5 - Valegro in Dapple Bay Roan

This is my fourth choice from this batch (I wasn't just going in order)! I do like the colour on him but he doesn't strike me as much as the others do. I can see him being a good show horse though.

Lot #6 - Lady Phase in Pearl Double Dilute Tobiano Pinto

This is my third choice just because the colour is so unusual. I much prefer the swishy tail variation of Lady Phase but this girl is nice too. A classic mould but in a really unusual colour. Designed by Sommer Prosser.

Let me know your favourite from the first batch. You never know, might win the lottery before July and be able to get that Cantering Welsh Pony (clearly a good use of any lottery based winnings)

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.

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?
