"Breyer test run models are initial decos painted up to see how a particular color might look on a particular sculpture. Or, they may be created to test out a painting technique or new colorway. Not all test run models are used, and they may vary over time as different painting techniques are developed and tested. Test run models are sold as is, with several photos and descriptions of any wear. We’ve decided not to attempt to touch up older test runs as we’ve found that this can alter their character and uniqueness. Each model has a fixed price and interested members enter a random draw for the ability to purchase the test piece. Red, as we've nicknamed him, is a test color Quarter Horse Gelding. He sports a vintage splatter red roan coat reminiscent of 1970's Breyer roans, with a pink muzzle and grey hooves. His halter is hand painted black with gold hardware. Red has been gracing our archive for nearly ten years and he's ready for a change of pace! He is mostly free from flaws. He has a small rub that is hard to see but that can be felt on the point of the right hip. He’s also got a couple of minor hoof edge rubs. Otherwise he’s in great shape and excited about discovering a new home! Red is priced at $850 and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Only 1 piece is available for purchase." www.breyerhorses.com.
