A fantastic selection, Anna, so many beautiful colours and all so nicely done - a perfection of realism and artistic ability. There's so many I could pick out as favourites it'd end up with me just listing half the horses in each section, so I'll just go back and look at them again once I've added my post here
The next chunk of my horses are in-between scales, Breyer's popular 'Classic' range (1:12, sometimes better known as dolls house scale), and 'Pebbles' by Peter Stone - I just asked Google and apparently those are 1:16 scale, which is a ratio I've not seen from any of the other brands
Original finish :
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]I have a lot less of these than the larger or smaller scales - a lot of the time the moulds are nice but they release them in lacklustre or badly designed colours, or else they do a perfectly good colour on a sculpt I'm not a fan of, so there's not usually many I put on my wishlist in a year!
Custom finish :

They're a bit too big for me to feel comfortable with my brush-painting technique, it's just difficult to get the paint to smudge on smoothly on such a big surface of horse. So the one on the left here is the only Breyer Classic I've ever painted, and the one on the left was bought from a friend.
Now, the Pebbles, the original finish :
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The reason I have so few of these, despite liking them so much, is that they were only sold in my country for a very very short time, one year's worth of regular runs only. Then shipping/import costs went through the roof in the mid 2000s, to the point where I had to stop buying them in from the US.
And then over maybe the last decade, the Peter Stone company has had a business makeover and gradually gone into selling
only expensive exclusive models, all one-of-a-kinds and micro-runs, so they've priced me out of collecting their brand any more, even
if I could've afforded to have them sent over here
And the custom finish :

And finally, some 1:32's which should've gone up with the Stablemates by Breyer but I forgot them, these are Peter Stone 'Chips'
Original finish :
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Custom finish :
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Mostly my repaints, the last two by someone else. I do have a couple more of the draft mould in my body box, so I'll be adding to this group eventually - when I decide what colours to use them up on!
