WOW ! Breyer is bringing their small horses into perfection

I don't know the size of the mini-horses, but suppose they are smaller than Stabelmates, aren't they ?
Identify Your Breyer does not seem to show them

Beautiful! Thanks for all these detailed pics, I haven't even seen a Breyer in real life before!

Thank you very much for this walkaround!
He is beautiful, I love the pose of piaffe. Congrats, it's nice addition. And a musthave for me ;-)

Beautiful model! I will need it in my collection Thank you for walk around LeeAnn!

Thanks friends!

I still have to send the photos to Janice for IDYB, that's why he's not there yet He is a Stablemate, he's just listed as mini in comparison to the Traditional.

I don't need a mate to feel stable but some stablemates makes me feel unstable! That's wonderful!

He is lovely I think I saw someone saying who the sculptor was, but I forgot

I like the last dancing pic

Hm, I actually don't know what to think of this model. I thought I'd like it more seeing an in hand picture. But the first time I looked in this thread I actually liked it less. I don't know if his conformation is off, but his neck looks so thin and tiny compared to his butt. Now coming back, it looks better, so I'm still unsure if I want him or not. Might be my brain being weird again. Or wait... it's always weird.

Congrats I think it's a beautiful model. I wonder if the real Valegro's conformation is something that puts off collectors. There was a similar debate on the French board regarding the 1/9 scale sculpture.

LeeAnn & Carola : Jenn Scott of Aspen Leaf Studio sculpted the stablemate Valegro.

Well, Valegro is a dresage champion, not a champion of beauty...it seems to me that he has a quite big head with thin neck and a heavy body:

I mean maybe his conformation isn't perfect, but he is very talented and succesful.

I personally think the mold is ugly. I bought one earlier this month while at a live show, but after getting the horse out of the package and looking closely, I decided it was not a mold I liked. The right foreleg looks too short and the rump is lumpy. I keep thinking the first person who offers me $5 plus shipping can have my mini Valegro.

According to Identify Your Breyer, the SM version of Valegro was sculpted by Jennifer Scott.

I prefer this mold in a pattern like appaloosa or pinto.  For some reason I just don't care for the mold in a solid color.
