Where to buy breyer horses in Texas?
You can buy horses anywere. You can buy them off of Ebay, or a website, or look in second hand stores, or toy stores for them. You can really find them anywhere.
What is the rarest Breyer horse?
I would say those that have been customized, since they are the only one of their kind. Agreed by dandy2010day. I do Breyer.
Can a horse live to be 30 years old?
Yes, it can. The oldest horse was named Old Billy, and he lived to be 62 years old! I guess Old Billy really lived up to his name!
What kinds of paint can you use on breyer horses?
The kind that comes with it
EDIT BY pumpkinxoxo
I use acrylic paints. Sometimes i take pastel crayons and shave them down with a knife, then take a paint brush, mix it up and the start painting. You should have a completely white breyer first though. a body finish.
Where can you find a list of issue prices for Breyer horses?
Well, the only way that I know of is that when you buy a breyer horse, there is a minature catalouge that comes inside the box with the horse (and rider). On one of the pages, it tells you the size, and price. Sometimes it may also show you how many different sizes they have of that size.
How do you remold a Breyer model?
It all depends on which scale model you have (traditional, classic ect...) however, when exposed to heat the plastic that traditional models are made from bends. I would recommend using a hairdryer to heat the plastic and running the model under cold water to harden it.
How much money is handmade breyer model horse tack worth?
it all depends on the condition and quality
What are some good items at the dollar store for your breyers?
Jumprings- Get for way cheaper than michaels or other craft stores.
Pill Boxes- Great for storing breyer food
Containers- Great for storing breyer things
Sponges- Cut them up to make a small sponge for your wash stall
Ribbon- Cheap and still nice quality for crafts
Where are Breyer horses manufactured?
Breyer are produced by Reeves International and distributed through that parent company. They are made in a variety of locations, but I believe that the mojority are produced in China
What are judges looking for in model horse showing?
Judges look for a lot in a model. Here are the things to look for in a model, that judges look out for, too.
Confirmation of a model must match the breed it is assigned to. Of course you know what breed you want it to be, that's the class you entered it in. That's a huge part of perparing for a show: picking the breed.
As an example, can you see a horse on the Ruffian mold fitting the description of a shetland pony? Can you see a horse on the S Justadream mold as a shire? Fitting a mold to a breed can be pretty difficult. Research the breed the mold is or could be. Find breed standards, compare the mold to standards and see how they compare. Judges often know quite a bit about horses and confirmation and coat patterns. Incorrect confirmation absolutely ruins a horse's chance at a ribbon.
Although just note that some molds can be numerous breeds. Like, a quarter horse mold could be painted and look like a paint. Their confirmations' are actually quite similar. Take care to research breeds if you are unsure! Even some molds that Breyer releases, like the Black Stallion, do not fit breed standards
Rubs are often extremely noticeable, even on white horses. Rubs are where the paint is scuffed, and the model is visibly rubbed. The paint job is pretty much ruined and the model's value zips down. Rubs are where the paint is rubbed off, classic, or what some people call 'shiny rubs.' Shiny rubs are where the finish gets faintly shiny if you hold it in the light at a right angle (and trust me, judges look at a horse from many angles). While rubs may be less noticeable on white horses, it is still important to try and fix them, or just not show the horse.
Mold condition also plays a large role. Now that Breyer is moving forward in their mold quality, you will find lots of older molds that have bent limbs and such. Sadly, you will still find some on the moer recently-produced models. Limbs/extremities that are bent in an unrealistic way, such as a leg being bent in a way that is not physically possible for a real horse to make, are a bad thing. If your mold is tippy, and it falls in a show, that's a huge possibility for a rub, or even worse: a crack.
Cracks are extremely noticeable. I highly suggest either trying to fix it or getting someone to fix it, or simply not showing a model, if it has a crack. Real horses do not have cracks running along their back.
Quite obviously if a tail, ear, leg, or anything is falling off, or not even connected... Well that horse is not good to show at all.
Seams are also quite common with at least Breyers. Seams are noticeable lines where the plastic is molded together. the plastic either goes up, or down. If you see seams on your model that are extremely noticeable, try and fix them and then repaint that part of the horse, or just don't show the horse.
Paint job. Oh where do I start?! A model's paint job is extremely important for its show career. If you see places where the lines get fuzzy or smeared, it's not good. Sometimes, like if it's smeared on a white part, you can etch it off and fix it up nicely. If you're good at painting, you can fix it up with some oils or acrylics or something. Or if you want to pay some money, ask someone to do it for you. If your model has paintbrush hairs on its body or anywhere, it's show career will not be so highlighted.
This answer just barely scratches the surface. Talk to local model horse judges to learn even more!
Where could you find breyers in barrie?
From the internet, find a good site, like Happy Happy Sue which supplies many breyer products.
Breyer Animal Creations was founded in 1950 in Chicago, Illinois, originally called Breyer Molding Company. They gained recognition when the company was commissioned by F.W. Woolworth to create a horse statue (now known as the # 57 Western Horse) to adorn a mantel clock. Soon, customers inquired if they could purchase just the horse. From there on out, Breyer has been a major leader in producing model horses.

How should you decorate your new horse themed room?
...When i was wee I covered it in horse posters and I'm quite good at drawing so i did drawings of horses and stuck em' up! Depends on how old you are, i guess! I'm sure if you want to go all out and completely cover it in horse related stuff, then there's the option of going crazy with giant horse toys, horse ornaments, horse pillows and bed quilts, etc... I still have a horse shoe hanging on my wall from years ago.
I just put a horse shoe shaped bit of cardboard on the back of it and tied a bit of string around it then put a photo of my old pony between the shoe and cardboard. Hey presto!
What is the value of a Marlin Model 39A 90th Anniversary Golden Mountie?
I suggest that you go on the internet to Guns America.com. Click on modern marlin rifles. You should find one listed. If it's not there the first day, try again later.
The Marlin Model 39-A 90th Anniversary rifle is a collectors item. There were only 500 of each made (the Model 39-A and the Model 39-A Mountie) They were serialized from 1 to 500. The chrome plated guns were made only 1 year, 1960 to commomorate the 90th Anniversary of Marlin Firearms Company founding. The value of these guns, depending upon the overall condition will range from $800.00 to $1,200.00. If it were new in the box, then you could add at least another $300.00
