Vintage Breyer horses, c. 1972. Breyer Animal Creations (commonly referred to as simply Breyer) is primarily a manufacturer of model horses.Founded in 1950, the company, now a division of Reeves International, Inc, [1] specializes in model horses made from cellulose acetate, a form of plastic, and produces other animal models from the same material as well.
Breyer Animal Creations hosts BreyerFest, a weekend-long celebration of the product every year at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky. Breyer Horses traditionally come in five scales, from largest to smallest: Traditional (1:9), Classic (1:12), Little Bit/Paddock Pal (1:24), Stablemate (1:32), and Mini Whinny (1:64).
