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.

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.
No, Breyer still produces model horses.
Yes you can most of the breyer horses i buy from are in the U.K.
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.
You can buy Breyer horses almost anywhere. You can probably get a larger selection by going online to order.
