This review is from: Breyer: Zippo Pine Bar Quarter Horse (Toy)

If you're wondering why I gave Zippo a 5 for educational, I'll tell you why. I know a 5 year old girl with a barn full of model horses. She takes care of them as if they were real. She gives them baths, pretending the soap is 'fungus shampoo' to get rid of rain-rot and the like, her water troughs are filled with real water, and when she gets a new breyer, she keeps it in a separate paddock for a while so it can get 'used' to the other horses. Her horses have regular workouts; she disciplines them if they misbehave, and frequently go to pretend shows. However, they often come up with dramatic illnesses (she enjoys calling the pretend vet) and die, only to come back to life right after we 'bury' it. Breyer models encourage creativity, and the practice of real horse care. That's 5 stars for educational AND fun. However, this isn't the kind of toy you step of sit on, as their legs tend to break. But if you're careful, I reccomend them for any horse enthusiast, whether they're only 5 years old or an adult. I myself have a barn full.

This review is from: Breyer: Zippo Pine Bar Quarter Horse (Toy)

This new model of an American Quater Horse is in a western pleasure trot and has a very intelligent face. He is the cutest breyer horse out of my collection. He looks good in any tack and is great for young children

This review is from: Breyer: Zippo Pine Bar Quarter Horse (Toy)

The world of model horse collecting & showing is as vast & varied as the world of real horses. Dating back to the mid-60s, model horse collecting came into its own in the 70s & early 80s. Breyer horses are the original, and staple fodder for this wonderful hobby. This is one of Breyers newest molds, produced in response to collector demand for more modern models that better reflected the change in breed types since the dates of the first Breyer molds in the 50's & 60's. Zippo Pine Bar was a famous American Quarter Horse who changed the face of Western riding.

Eductional value of this model & other Breyer collectibles is endless, because the model horse showing hobby is based on reproducing the real horse world in miniature. All the current breed & show standards that apply to real horses apply to the model horse world. It is a great way for young horse enthusiasts to learn about the care & showing of real horses without the financial committment of buying a real horse.
