Scamper is one of my most durable, most realistic, most fun and easy-to-display models. Gentler kids can actually play with Scamper without banging him up too much. Scamper is well painted and he can even stand alone. He comes with a beautiful box explaining his accomplishments so he can be displayed in or out of box. This Breyer is well worth your money! You get a background, story, catolog, barrel, and the horse for a good price.

I love my Breyer Scamper! He was my very first "collectable" horse and he's still as bright and handsome as when he came out of the box. He stands alone, is pretty durable, and has a great color. Markings and quality will vary SLIGHTLY as each one is hand airbrushed. This handsome bay Classics-scale model is too cool! I should warn that this model sometimes falls down and isn't for rough play!

Learn about real horses through the world of model horses! Scamper the barrel horse is not just a Breyer collectible. Scamper was a real equine athlete who was #1 in his sport, (barrel racing) for 10 years! We are amazed when human athletes can stay on top for that long. What would you think of a horse, who's life span is shorter & physical ability declines must sooner, does this?
Breyer collectible horses are fun & educational. Scamper is a personal favorite of mine because of the rags-to-riches story of his life, and the teenage girl who rode him. The detail on this mold is amazing and I love the personality shown by the model's outstretched upper lip. One of Breyer's newest molds, and part of the Western Performance Series. Look for the other two, the reiner & cutting horse!
