Breyer Collectable Porcelain Horses
71Kathleen Moody’s Colorful And Hand Decorated Horse in Costume Series
Not only do I love having horses in my barn, but I like them inside my house too. Not the eating and pooping kind, but a pretty-to-look-at kind. I love to surround myself with those things that I love.
Kathleen Moody is a phenomenal artist who has created animal sculptures for DaBar Enterprises, Safari and Hartland, in addition to her better known Breyer horses. The majority of her horses are resin and handpainted. From 1995 to 1999 she released the Premier Series of Horses in Authentic Costume.
These beautiful horses are not resin but very breakable fine porcelain. The colors and detail are stunning. I showcase mine in a display case, which also helps to minimize dust and keep them glowing.
There are six figurines, each released originally with a limited edition of 2500 pieces. Each individual piece is numbered. When collecting I like to acquire pieces with the original Certificate Of Authenticity and original box and packaging. The horses are in the traditional breyer horse size which is measures about 6-8 inches tall and 8-10 inches long. The six horses are:
1995 Arabian Mare in traditional Arabian Costume
Mold #79195
Light Gray With Gray Shaded Body, Tail, Mane And Legs. Prancing with an expressive eye.
1996 All American Saddlebred in Parade Costume
Mold #79196
Dark palomino with cream shaded mane and tail, stockings, blaze, silver hooves, silver and black costume with red roses and red and blue ribbons. The tapaderos are separate pieces.
1996 Circus Ponies
Mold # 79296
Two horses for the price of one. A rearing white horse and a bowing white horse with red plumes. I've seen these in palomino color also.
1997 Great Horse in Armor

1998 Si-Ce-Ca Shon'ge "Family Horse"
Mold #79198
The Indian pony In native regalia, carrying an Indian papoose.

The Drum Horse is the most popular and unique member of the British Life Guards regiment. A Gypsy Vanner type black and white horse with leg feathers, portrays confidence and style.

Omner was released as a resin traditional size Breyer horse in 2000-2001. You can read about him on Beverly Gray's website at http://www.bevgrayusa.com/horsehighlights.html.
If you are interested in purchasing the Breyer horse, again, ebay is a good place to start. And there are numerous Breyer sellers on the web. You could probably even outfit him with endurance tack!
Endurance is a challenging sport! Thanks for your comment.
do you know what all these horses are worth? I have all these in mint condition and the boxes to go with them.
The best thing you can do is look at what they are selling for on ebay...

Do you know of any Endurance horses that are featured? I know Beverly Gray spoke of her horse being a model for Breyer a horse, I think.
