The two horses at the top in this photo, they're Peter Stone aren't they? Sand Pebbles?

Hi, yes the two in the top row are Peter Stones - both 'Palouse', but I customized the bay one. It was one of my first tries, to customize something so big :)

Hmmm... I have never seen that stone before I quite like the mold. What was its original color?

Hi, Hannah, the original Palouse was a blanket appy. As I had 2 of them I customized one. Tucked the head in and filled in the bridle path, because we normally don't have them in our horses.

Beautiful! I love the one that got you hooked on collection breyer!

Call me crazy, but I'm sensing a theme... (as if your screen name wasn't a huge enough hint )
Your collection is fantastic, and it's so good to see these lovely old Breyers again (don't get me wrong, I love the new molds - but the Hess pieces are my favorites). I'm especially fond of your Hobo conga line, that mold doesn't get nearly enough respect!

Ha ha, you caught me out Yes, I can't resist anything with spots on. Btw - my favourite ist the western prancing horse - it is as old as I am

Finally another Prancer fan! It's got to be one of the most underrated molds in Breyer history, and for no reason at all - it's well sculpted and has tons of personality. I guess it's just too old-fashioned for the serious hobbyists... too heavy for parade and too lively for western.
I've often wanted to get one to customize, but trads are just too big for me.

Talking of molds everybody hates ... these are my all time favourites. If the whole collection had to go one day, they would stay till the end

Sherm is just a cutie... He's got a sort of 19th century look to him, stylized without being cartoony. And yes, he's one of the very few trads I own!

I've never really liked Sherman, primarily because of his neck (ouch!). But your comment made me thinking of possible custom referenced on 19th century paintings - he would be a great base for such model

O.o what a collection! It´s stunning. Big congrats!

Ehhh... Wow))
Amazing collection, really. And lots of Appaloosas (my love of a lifetime).
You've got a gorgeous collection, and I really admire the way you show it *there should have been s smiley that put off his hat*

Congrats Simone

I confess the color of this one makes me think in a potato ship but... burned.
Just kidding, the figure has wonderful proportions and pose. Congratulations!

Ha ha, a burnt potato chip - this one is really crisp (o)):
Earlier this week I was at Equitana horse fair and could not resist to get some more Breyers
