Breyer® models begin as
beautiful horse sculptures
created by leading
equine artists that are
then cast into a copper
and steel mold. Each
model is created one at a
time from the original
mold, which is injected
with a special resin
selected by Breyer for its
ability to capture the
depth of detail, delicate
feel and richness of color
in our models. Once the
model is molded,
Breyer’s artisans take
over, and the handwork
begins. Each individual
Breyer® model is
prepped and finished by
hand and then turned
over to the painting
department for hand
painting (with airbrushes)
and detailing (with paint
brushes). In all, some 20
artisans work on each
individual model horse,
creating an exquisite
hand-made model horse
that is as individual as
the horse that inspired it.
