Breyer Balooza is for those who collect, play with, or just like Breyer horses! Even if you don't have Breyer horses anymore or you want to start, this club is for you.
All suggestions are welcome and it's just a one time fee of $1000 to join!

BB will have resources like tips for customizing your own horses; videos or blogs for fixing scratches, dings, or broken limbs; identification guides; and of course a showcase for you to show off what you have!

So far:

1 resource added; taking more..where did you find your Breyer or how did you identify it?

*Customizing tutorials 

*Identification guide

Needs further attention/suggestions:

*Photo contests

*Gallery where we can submit photos of our Breyer Horses and such photos saved for contests - looking into how to go about this

*Tips for collecting/finding Breyers

*Club mascot - could be one of the members' horses with a short bio about when it was made, what the model is, and how they came to own it.

*Maybe a list of the ones you're wanting to find

FEEL FREE to use the ^badge^ on your page or as a tag..let's get the word out about us!

I'm assuming all parts of Breyer horses are part of this? Like the Stablemates, Corral Pals, Paddock Pals, etc?

Yes all the sizes of horses. Depending on quantity, we might be able to split them into categories for the photo contests. For now, we can just include any and all together and change it later if we need to break it down to the 4 different groups.

Does that answer your question clearly?

Yes, thank you. I only have traditional sized ones, but I know that the smaller models are more affordable. I've been fortunate enough to grab mine on sale at feed stores, or occasionally finding them at "Junk-tique" shops.

Same here, mostly traditional. I have a couple other sizes and I have a Golden Retriever that looks like my Retriever in real life. I have gotten a lot of mine at either antique stores or "good" prices on eBay for the ones I really want or you can't find anywhere else.

The most expensive one I've got was close to $100 but it's signed by a horse trainer I really like.
The others I have were way less.

Anyone here participating in the virtual Breyerfest this year?

Nope, I was going to and then got back into real horses and my car stuff started back up :( 

So many I wanted though. I just need me some jumpers and dressage posed breyers

What is Breyerfest?

@Mouse - In short Breyerfest is a 3 day show celebrating all things model horses. It has competitions & stalls to buy & sell your horses & workshops on stuff like how to customize or repair your models. At least that's what I've read; I have never been there but it looks fun.


@tMRanch - I only have a few of the Traditional models myself mostly (still boxed) racehorses I followed in RL (Frankel/Secretariat/American Pharoah) but I am joining your club anyway :DI have a fave Chestnut Hunter gelding I called The Lord Mayor who is unboxed & much loved & a solitary customized mare who I have temporarily misplaced.... she is wrapped in copious amounts of bubble wrap so I know she is safe but I think she is somewhere in the back of my wardrobe in a shoe box since she came off an auction site unboxed originally.Not sure which breed she is meant to be so I'll have to find her & see if anyone can work out what she's meant to be. It annoys me not knowing!

I would like to collect more to be honest but I never do mostly because the ones I like are expensive! I love the elaborate limited editions & drool over them every year.

@mouse - what Velox said. I've never been either but since they're doing it virtual this year, I figured I could get a "taste" of what it's like and be able to just get a ticket and didn't have to worry about airfare and a hotel cuz I don't live in Kentucky.


@velox - Antique stores and sometimes eBay you can find good deals of the more rare ones. I keep a few saved searches and check them a couple times a week to see what I can find.
AND once you find your lost horse, post a pic! I may be able to help you identify her in the 5th addition Breyer book I have or you can look HERE. It's a great site for identifying. (this link is also on the club page..one of the big yellow buttons)

This is one of mine, he is a resin, that was then painted by S.W.I.D Designs in Australia. 

His name is The Interceptor. 

inteceptor

@Black Raven- I'm not able to find that one...You said it was repainted. What color was it before? Do you know anymore info on it?

He is an artists resin, and was then painted by S.W.I.D
