Breyer horses are model horses, normally made out of a combination of plastic and resin. Because of the material used to make them, they are extremely fragile.
Breyer has been producing model horses since 1950, so 60 years! Each model is hand carved and hand painted (although there are some rumors that they are switching to machine painted). Because of the extreme realism in their carving (also known as their "mold" to hobbyists), and the quality of their painting, Breyers normally sell for around $50.
Breyers, along with mostly any brand of model horse, can be entered in Model Horse Shows; which seperates the Non LSQ (Live Show Quality) models, from the top model horses in the country.

There are 6 main sizes: Traditional, Classic, Paddock Pal, Pony, Stablemate, and Mini Whinny. Of those 6, each horse is different. I own 3 Traditionals at the moment, and all three are different height's. I listed them in order of height (largest first), although I am not to sure about the Ponies. Most Breyer catalogs have the sizes in them, or you can go to breyerhorses.com and click on products.
Breyer horses started out being clocks, until one day a women saw the clock and just wanted the horse. That's how breyer horses got started. For more info go to www.breyerhorses.com

Yes, unless it says not, Breyer horses are plastic.
Most Traditional saddles do not fit Classic Breyer horses. Although, Breyer made some Traditional horses like Newsworthy and the "My Favorite Horse, Appaloosa" that are more Classic sized but they do fit in the Traditional saddles. Breyer does make saddles for Classic Breyers but they aren't fancy like the Traditional ones are.
Yes you can most of the breyer horses i buy from are in the U.K.
No, Breyer still produces model horses.
Only nationally or world-famous horses are made into Breyer models. Once a horse reaches that level, Breyer may choose to consider it :)
Breyer toy horses are made from a type of plastic. More specifically they are made from cellulose acetate. They are most well known for their horses, however, they also sell other toy animals.
