"The Second Release of the 2026 Premier Club. Flapjack and Waffles bring together two distinctly different equines: a thoughtful donkey and a spirited Shetland Pony. Together, they are an irresistible pair defined by contrast and connection.
Shetland Ponies hail from Scotland’s rugged Shetland Isles, where harsh weather and limited grazing produced one of the world’s toughest, smartest, and most spirited pony breeds. Compact and clever, Shetlands are well-loved as children’s ponies and – as Waffles shows – they’re full of sass and confidence. Sculpted by artist Laura Skillern-Sailer, Waffles is cantering with his thick mane and tail flying and his bright, curious personality on full display. His gorgeous silver dapple pinto coat, designed by artist Sommer Prosser, enhances every sculpted detail with depth and realism.
Flapjack, a trotting Donkey gelding, is the perfect foil to Waffles’ exuberance. With his alert, famously long ears and sure-footed movement, he embodies the intelligence, loyalty, and affectionate nature for which donkeys are known. Like Shetlands, donkeys were originally bred to endure rugged terrain and demanding conditions, so while their temperaments differ, both share deep-rooted resilience and grit. Flapjack’s reverse blue roan color is visually striking, while subtle shading highlights the sculpture’s lifelike rough coat.
As a pair, Flapjack and Waffles embody a duality that collectors are sure to love: mischievous and mellow, playful and patient. They're two small equines with outsized charm! Each is a hand-painted work of art in Breyer’s Traditional 1:9 scale, crafted with the exquisite detail and artistry that are the hallmarks of the Premier Collection. No two sets are exactly alike, making every Flapjack and Waffles pair a true original." www.breyerhorses.com.
