I've only had three occassions where I've had my Breyers break on me... four if you count the one that came to me broken.
One was a stablemate when I was younger. I stepped on his leg and it snapped off.
My Brighty fell off a shelf and broke his leg and my Afleet Alex also fell off a shelf and his tail snapped off.
But that's it.
Considering that I've been collecting Breyers seriously for upwards of eight years, I'd say I've had a pretty good run.

They aren't really meant to be played with, especially the traditional models.

I had my etchie fall of a shelf and break 2 legs and his tell, but I got them repaired by someone amazing and I can hardly tell anymore! ^^ (Yeah, be careful with those customs!)
Otherwise, they've all been stablemates falling from shelves except for my poor unfortunate Kuchi who chipped his (yes his) ear oddly after a mirror fell while I was packing for the move. I guess that's pretty lucky~


ANYWAY, I got $125 in Christmas money and want to spend it on Breyers! I know Northern Dancer is out at my local tack store, and he is awfully tempting. But what else should I get??

I haven't had any problems with my breyers breaking, I normally keep the in this stable yard I made last year but they are all on my shelves now, and my sunny model that has a warped leg is lay down on a blanket wit a rug on so she doesn't fall over. All I ever get is rubs and scratches :)

When I was little I was silly and played with mine :3 Luckily I only suffered two breaks, a filly chipped her ear and a mare broke her leg just below the hock. No scratches or other chips or breaks though, so I guess I'm lucky^^

Got Northern Dancer and Noche Buena just now. Hopefully they'll both be worthy of showing this spring ^^

Now for the sad thing. I went to the tack shop to get Dancer, and saw Rein Maker for $40. I was in love with him until I looked over and saw three huge gloss stains or something on his flank. It looked like someone spilled coffee on him ;n;

I can't get thee 2013 breyers over here in the UK yet, it's so frustrating! Oh and does any one have valentine and heartbreaker I am expecting that a few of you do and I was wondering if you recommend them I have zennys colt and LOVE the mold so I think I will like heartbreaker it's just Valentine I'm unsure about.

I have a glossy set and am in love with them. If you can afford it, I do recommend the gloss as they pop more, but the matte is equally stunning <33

I have quite alot of christmas money left so I could buy the glossy pair if I wanted but I really don't know if I like glossy's or not I have never seen one in person and Gathering storm put me off them and black pintos (there is just something about him I don't like) so I am really unsure about buying glossys

The glossy GG Valentine and Heartbreaker are stunning. I saw them at the Dover store near me, but couldn't buy them.
And I don't normally love the glossies.
