"The First Release of the 2026 Premier Club. One of the most famous and recognizable Iberian breeds, the Andalusian is a versatile horse that excels in a variety of disciplines. First developed in the 15th century as a war horse prized by Spanish nobility, Andalusians still retain many of their regal traits from generations past. As they began reaching far beyond the Spanish peninsula, Andalusians quickly became beloved mounts across the equestrian world. In addition to dedicated breed shows, today they can be found in sports such as dressage, driving, and stock work. Their dramatic and almost fantastical looks have also made them a breed of choice for eye-catching horses in film and television.
In her third addition to Breyer’s Traditional scale lineup, artist Karen Gerhardt has sculpted Carmen as a carefree, rearing mare who would be equally comfortable playing in the ring or frolicking among a field of flowers. She oozes personality with her slightly turned head as she prepares to land back down on the ground.
Most Andalusian horses are some shade of grey, and Carmen is no exception. In addition to sculpting, Karen also designed her dark dappled rose grey coat. As she ages this coat will eventually fade to near-white, but Carmen is captured as a young horse with her dapples in full bloom. Her detailed brown eyes breathe life into this spirited piece – an ideal Spanish horse worthy of dreams." www.breyerhorses.com.
