This site was released in January 2022, and there is still a lot of information that needs to be tweaked and photos added. If you see errors or have suggestions, please contact me!
The 'Run Type' filter was added in Feb 2024. The idea of this filter is to aid with model horse showing. As a general rule, 'Very Limited Run' are runs with a quantity of 2-160; 'Special Run' are runs limited in quantity and distributed by specific retailers, including Breyer's own web specials; 'Regular Run' includes runs with high production (or unknown) quantities including Limited Editions that were available through catalogs and most toy stores; and 'OOAK' are One of a Kind models, including tests and auction models. This data is still being tweaked, so check back often for updated information.
Regarding the ABS material: ABS plastic applies mostly to Stablemates and Little Bits, but can also be found with some Classic/Freedom Series models. ABS stands for 'Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene'. Starting in 1992, models made with this plastic are much more lightweight and if it's an older mold, can have less mold details. It can be less expensive to use than the original Cellulose Acetate plastic. Search for these models under the 'Material' search box and choose 'ABS Plastic'.
There is an item in the Series field called 'Artist's Editions'. The Zippo model called "Artist's Proof" is the first in the series, but I have not yet found anymore models for that series. Please contact me if you have information.
Regarding Little Bits and Paddock Pals - for ease of use in this database, for now, the molds will be referred to as Little Bits. Individual models will be noted as Paddock Pals when known. Future project will be to include the new Paddock Pal molds.
As for other Breyer products, those are all future projects (like dolls, tack, stables, misc items...). In the meantime, I continue to work on the data, and adding photos.
Image Policy: Photos are always welcome! Please try to take photos of models in well lit areas, that are in focus, and show the different sides and variations of your model. If you submit a photo to this site, please be aware that at times permission will be granted to individuals who want to use site photos for their own purposes (Ebay auctions, Facebook, etc.). It is the policy of BreyerHorseRef.com to allow others to use these pictures with permission only, but if you would like acknowledgement for your photo, I would urge you to add copyright text to the photo before submission.
