Tell us about yourself I live in Texas, and have been collecting Breyer models for over 10 years now. My collection started with my mother purchasing Gem Twist #959 with a Brown Tail not black. I left him in his box, scared that I would scratch him. I didn't realize at the time that Breyer horses were collectible and some highly sought after. I began collecting the horses I loved and watching for the ones I couldn't find. To the left is my model of the Gem Twist mold that was introduced in 1993 and sculpted by Kathleen Moody.

Why do you collect horse models? I love the way they look and smell. There is something about getting a new model, and opening the box just to smell him. I have recently opened my boxes and placed the horses on display. (yes i have kept the boxes and the ties). To the right is models of the Old Timer, one with a hat! The model was introduced in 1996, with a variety of hat colors through the years. I am also now making saddles and halters for my models. Makes me feel young again.
