The quality of the Breyer horses are superior to many other brands of collectable model horses. There are actually horses shows where you compete with your Breyer horses. Some of them can be worth quite a bit of money.

I mean, I agree, they can get REALLY expensive. What was $30 last year is now $45 too, thanks to inflation. However, Barbie horses are like $15 for a horse, and Breyers range from $20-$50. And if you look at the horse, you see every muscle line, every vein, and every strand of mane. Some are even textured. But while the cheaper Barbie horses are cheaper, the Breyer ones have a lot more detail, have a higher quality, and are collectible, not toys.
