As of April 2010, the Esprit model is extremely rare because Breyer is having problems making/carving his mane and tail, and painting him. And on top of that, he is this year's FEI model; which makes him even rarer and more valuable.
There aren't really any "rare" models, except Special Runs, and Limited Runs of course. Breyerfest models are rare as well, as they are only available at Breyerfest, and afterwards, they are not produced anymore.
Breyer
The rarest breyer model would probably be Trigger, he was owned by Roy Rogers. He was one of the first breyer models. Check on ebay!
There are many Breyer traditional horses. Breyer traditional horses are tiny models of horses that are typically used by young children as special toys.
Only nationally or world-famous horses are made into Breyer models. Once a horse reaches that level, Breyer may choose to consider it :)
I have noticed pn the models I have from when breyer first started, they don't have the breyer/breyer reeves stamp but do have a stamp saying the conrty (MIne say USA on the top of the leg). Hope this helps.
Breyer Horses are extremely detailed and realistic model horses made out of a combination of plastic and resin material. Breyer has been producing model horses since 1950, so about 50 years! Breyer has hundreds of models, in different sizes and molds. Each one is hand carved and hand painted, giving it a value of about $50, depending on the size. There are Traditionals (1:9 scale), Classics (1:12 scale), Paddock Pals, Stablemates, and Mini Whinnies. However, it is impossible to thoroughly describe all the features Breyer horses offer in this answer. To find out more, see the related links section below to go to Breyer's website!

Toy horses. Breyer horses have been around since the 1950s. Breyer also makes models of other animals, but horses seem to be the most popular. Collectors on eBay purchase them often.
this isn't the best answer, but you need to search online for someone who works for reeves or breyer, then ask them... I'm not sure they will let you, and anyways only you would get it because breyer makes models of ''famous'' horses, but good luck anyways!
I would suggest a Mare and Foal or a Rare horse and if you have a favorite horse breyer most of the time like 99.9% they will have a hare your looking for. If you have your own horse look for on that looks like your horse. Hoped It Helped On Your Choice On Your New Breyer Horse
