#1877 - Full Moon Rising
Breyer
Regular price $55.00
A wildly-colored Thoroughbred, Full Moon Rising began life as a racehorse. Retired sound after his second season on the track, his trainer sought a meaningful second career for him. At that same time, Marsha Hartford-Sapp was looking for a horse eligible to compete in the Retired Racehorse Project. The stars aligned, and “Mooney” came home with Marsha the day they met!
Slowly and carefully, Marsha began his transition from track to dressage arena. In preparation, she took him to Western Dressage competitions to expose him to the show ring, where they found much success! In 2021 - his first year off the track - they amassed an incredible list of titles, including: USEF Horse of the Year Western Dressage Open Intro and Western Dressage Suitability, National Champion Western Dressage, World Champion Western Dressage Intro, USDF Reserve National Champion All Breeds - training level open, and National Pony Cup Small Horse Champion.
Of their seemingly fated journey Marsha shares, “Sometimes it’s amazing how we can dream things into reality."
Traditional | 1:9 scale | Ages 8+
There are toy horses, and then there are Breyer Model Horses.
Traditional Series models are the largest and most popular Breyer model size available. Sculpted in every color and breed imaginable, the Traditional series offers unmatched realism and breathtaking hand-painted detail. Traditional models are a 1:9 scale and measure approximately 12"L x 9"H.
The Freedom Series, formally known as Classic, are 1:12 scale models. These are hand painted and feature the same true-to-life details and unsurpassed quality as Breyer’s Traditional Series. The 1:12 scale horses are approximately 9"L x 6"H.
Breyer Stablemates miniature models are just as detailed and authentic as the larger Breyer models. Stablemates are a 1:32 scale and horses are approximately 4"L x 3.5"H.
Paddock Pals, also known as Little Bits, is the legacy name used for Breyer’s 1:24 scale models. They are not currently in production outside of unpainted activity sets.
A retired model is one that has been discontinued and is no longer in production.
Breyer has been producing a special Holiday Horse each year since 1997. Every year is different and spectacular.
CollectA models are vinyl, hand-painted models with a high degree of accuracy in both conformation and color. They are both affordable and almost impossible to break and have been around since 2006. Sizes of CollectA models vary from small (averaging approximately 3 inches tall) to the Deluxe (1:12 scale, averaging approximately 7-9 inches tall.)
Breyer showcases the inspiring beauty of horses and invites everyone to create and bring to life their own vision of horse beauty by styling, grooming, and creating magnificent braids. Breyer Mane Beauty Styling Heads have long, silky, no-tangle manes, and are realistically sculpted and decorated with diverse colorways.
Usually used as shorthand for “decorator”, a type of model that is painted in an unrealistic color or pattern that isn't possible on a real horse.
Horse of the Year, a limited edition Freedom Series (formerly Classics) model that debuts a new 1:12 scale sculpture in a striking coat color. Horse of the Year models are only available the year they are produced.
