My Appreciation Haul finally arrived and here's what I ordered! We're going to start small to big, ending with the glossy model.

First off I got the Voyer pin Breyer had just put up on the website the day of the sale and it's actually pretty cute. I already have a thing for pins so I'm happy to add this handsome one to my mini collection and Breyer paraphernalia.

Name: Justify

Breed: Thoroughbred

Color: Chestnut

Special Run: No

Significance: None

Next we have adorable Justify to add to my Stablemates herd. His face marking is really pretty and he has a nice paint job over all, but not anything really special or significant. I kind of wish I kept my Stablemate American Pharaoh to keep with him.

Breed: Appaloosa and Quarter Horse

Color: Chestnut leopard and bay

Special Run: No

Significance: No

I mainly got this set for the blanket that comes with it and the Appy but I'm really happy to finally get this set since I got the English one a while ago. The horses are really cute and the Appy is pretty well done with minimal masking flaws and she also has some shading around her flank and shoulder to add more depth to her and I love it. The Quarter horse is cute two but not as detailed and does have some more prominent flaws. The reason this update was so late was because for some reason Breyer decided to ship this set separately.

Name: Adiha HP

Breed: Friesian Sport Horse

Color: Chestnut Tobiano

Special Run: No

Significance: First on the mold

Adiha HP is a beautiful chestnut Tobiano Friesian Sport Horse mare who's famous in the dressage ring. Her moves are as beautiful as her coat and I'm so excited to add her to my growing Traditional collection. She's a beautiful model, very dynamic, and I'm going to have to look into a metal stand for her though so the stand doesn't break inside her foot. Even with her stand she's still a bit wobbly which has me paranoid.

Name: Peptoboonsmal

Breed: American Quarter Horse

Color: Red Roan

Special Run: No

Significance: First on the mold

Besides the CCA horse, Peptoboonsmal is the horse I was most excited to add to my shelves! He's absolutely stunning, his roaning is perfect and he even has subtle dapples on his sides too. He's the most detailed regular run model I've seen and I couldn't be happier with him! He's definitely a new favorite regular run model for sure. I'm so happy to finally get a horse on the Dundee mold because it feels like I've been waiting forever, I'm definitely not disappointed. Dundee and Duwamish are my holiest grails now.

Name: CCA Ideal QH

Breed: Quarter Horse

Color: Chestnut

Special Run: Collector's Club Appreciation model

Significance: First ever CCA model!

I can now finally say I have a CCA horse! I'm so incredibly thankful to my boyfriend who helped me get it out of no where because I had the money I made myself, spent it on Misty and Stormy thinking I'd have enough time to save up before December, and then Breyer popped these guys out of thin air. Originally I got glossy Dominate but I was hoping for the Ideal QH or Catch Me, thankfully I was able to find a good and fast trade. Now I might have to get the matte version sometime, hopefully for Christmas. He does have a few tiny flaws but they're nothing super big or inconvenient, he's beautiful all around and a new favorite in my herd. ❤

ictures of him without flash.
