What's scary is, if you follow the link, you'll find a photo with about 6 trillion horses lined up facing a much smaller group of random horses tossed in a pile. It looks like the large herd is getting ready to attack and eat the smaller, "haven't-got-a-shot-in-hell", random pile.
Haha... that's my girlfriend's collection - yes, they are the 'stablemates', but that is only ONE of the Breyer sizes she collects - not to mention her 'other' collections...
Stablemates breed on their own, I swear it.. I can't figure out how I have so many.. >.< I see a few in your group that I don't have though.. Very nice. I prefer the Classic size, myself, but there's not as many good molds in that size. Traditionals are of course the old standby.
Yeah, I personally am not into "breeding" or "racing" the models... can't quite get my mind around those concepts, but hey, to each his (or in this case, probably her) own. [The hobby is about 99.75% female] I've only been to one live show myself, but it was a small function.

And for the record, yes, we model horse crazies do have a huge get together every year in Kentucky. Breyerfest is having its 20 year anniversary this year and I will be there!

Kim A-Model Horse Blab?
No, I have not!

Check out the the real crazies: Model Horse Shows!

The really scary part is when they start charging stud fees. I'm not kidding. Or model horse races. I haven't figured that one out yet.

Hey, were not all crazy! I'm not into "breeding" or "racing" my models either, though I do like to show them. I have about 1800.

Kelly! I recognize that collection! :D Our hobby's resident guidebook co-author! [and I might say that we all are indeed our own brand of crazy.]

That is great that people can get the business loans and that opens new opportunities.
