Guide To Scales Of Breyer Model Horse Toys

This article provides a guide to the scale sizes of Breyer model horse toys.

Breyer is the most popular and best selling brand of miniature horse toys. Breyer model horses are available in a range of five different sizes. All five sizes are accurately scaled to the average size of the real horse breeds that each one represents.

The largest size is known as the traditional size. This size is 1:9 scale and is approximately twelve inches long by nine inches tall. It is the most popular size of Breyer horse toys by far; in fact, many new releases and special tack accessories are available only in this scale. It makes sense that collectors would gravitate towards this larger size because the closer the models are to actual size the easier it is to see and appreciate the beauty of the horses athletic bodies and flowing manes. Hobbyists want their models to be adored and appreciated and that is much more likely to happen with larger, more visible models.

The next largest size is known as the classic size. This size 1:12 scale, also known as the dollhouse scale, and is approximately nine inches by six inches. Accessories and tack are available for this size, but not as much as the traditional size. Like the Traditional size, there is a great selection Breyer model horses in the Classic size. While more hobbyists collect the Traditional size, Classic is also very popular. The slightly smaller size has the advantage of being able to display these models in smaller spaces. It also helps when it comes to storing them away or transporting them. The trade-off is the smaller the horse the less visible the finer details.

The middle size is known as Paddock Pals. Paddock Pals are 1:24 scale and are approximately six inches long by five inches tall. Single horses and play sets with riders and removable tack are available in this size. Paddock Pals are popular horse toys that promote pretend play with attractive, colorful play sets. This is a great place for young horse lovers to start collecting their favorite breeds.

The second-smallest size is known as Stablemates. Stablemates are 1:32 scale and are approximately 4 inches long by 3 inches tall. Horse and rider sets, horse and foal sets, and play sets are available in this size.

The smallest size is known as Mini Whinnies. Mini Whinnies are 1:64 scale and are merely one and a half inches by one and a half inches. A variety of Breyer model horse sets are sold in this size. These smaller sized horses are mostly used as kids horse toys and are not usually sought after by collectors. The main benefit of this small size is they are very affordable. In fact, you can purchase these horses in sets of 4 or more horses for even bigger savings.

Regardless of what size Breyer model horse you prefer, hobbyists enjoy owning, trading, buying, selling, collecting, exhibiting, photographing, re-making and repainting their model horses and horse toys. Once you have chosen the size, series, and year of model horses that you wish to collect, you are ready to go find your first horse and start enjoying the hobby.
