A photo of two Breyer traditional models from the 2026 Vintage Club: A running foal and running stallion both done as the blue roan color, but in the vintage style: a cool grey base with black speckled and black mane and tail.

A romp in the green grass on a nice spring day sounds like a pleasant way to spent Whimsical Horse Wednesday!

While these two are a real color--blue roan--they're done in that charmingly inaccurate way that Breyer used for their red roans in the 1960s-1970s.

What seems like a lifetime ago, my entire job was digitally modeling and 3d printing model horses. Explaining that job always felt like trying to convince someone of an April fools joke. But here's some proof.

A photo of a Breyer "Mini Whinnies" scale model horse, a chestnut on the Wixom mold. She appears to be in Brewster's Cafe, from the Animal Crossing franchise, striding up to the counter where her coffee awaits. Brewster is standing behind the counter.

Who needs a pick-me-up on this Whimsical Horse Wednesday?

And yes, WHW models have all been fantasy creatures/decorator colors up to now, but this time I thought I'd make it whimsical through the environment!

A photo of a G1 My Little Pony Big Brother Pony toy. This one is Barnacle, a blue pony with orange mane and tail, treasure chest cutie mark, yellow bandana, and pirate hat.

Today's Whimsical Horse Wednesday is from my G1 My Little Pony collection that predates my Breyer obsession. He's made it through quite a few moves and one downsizing sale.

Collector Club model Lavinia showed up yesterday. Nicely done markings. The foal is from Breyerfest 2024 and came with the bay mare but I think she looks cuter with Lavinia.

A photo of a Breyer Freedom scale rearing mustang, in the freezer drawer, surrounded by frozen bread, breakfast sandwiches, meat, tortillas, etc. It is an appaloosa with the blanket being a mint green and the base color a very, very dark shade of chocolate.

Why not take a look in the freezer, and maybe treat yourself to some mint chocolate chip ice cream on this Whimsical Horse Wednesday?

I did it 🎉

Pangare bay finnhorse model horse

I'm close to finishing my #namopaimo project!🥰
She just needs dapples, more layers of pastels, painting hooves and eye- oh heck i'm not close at all!!!! 😱

A bit of shiny gold has turned up on this Whimsical Horse Wednesday ✨️

#modelhorse #breyerhorses

Unfinished finnhorse model in grey primer, with white painted underbelly and black mane and tail

Ugly donkey-duckling phase lol

Playing around with acrylics because I slacked off with prepping and got no time to place 10 layers of pastels for a somewhat-visible white

#namopaimo #modelhorse

A photo of a Stone model horse on the Volo mold. She is a running mustang mare in a mealy bay color. She has been factory customized to have a slightly lifted and turned head and neck, along with listening ears turned back and a short, wind-ruffled mane.

Horsie!

This is a newer mold from Stone Horses, called Volo. She's quite long. Longer than Breyer's Dundee/Australian Stock Horse, but only needs a little angling to fit on the shelf. I think Breyer's Akhal-Teke is the bigger shelf hog.

#modelhorse #stonehorses

My namopaimo custom so far. I sculpted her neck and mane, bent her leg and gave her some muscle. I imagine her as a hardy, reliable finnhorse in bay pangare color

A WIP photo of my Breyer Classic size running thoroughbred model horse that I'm painting to a palomino with tobiano markings.

I know I said splash white, but she told me she wanted to be tobiano #NaMoPaiMo #modelhorse

A photo of a Breyer Paddock Pal scale thoroughbred stallion. He is painted to a shimmery blue-green, with purple mane, tail, and hooves, and done in a glossy finish.

This Whimsical Horse Wednesday is here to remind you that experimenting with new tools and techniques can be fun 🎨🖌

I painted this little guy myself, using shimmery acrylic paint and makeup sponges held by a jewelry grabber tool.

A photo of Breyer model horse Franz, on the Spirit mold. He is blue with darker blue points, mane, and tail. 2022 Breyerfest special run.

Whimsical Horse Wednesday is another blue one - I do like collecting decorators in this color 💙

Mini plastic editions of the brand ColletA's modelhorses. Less than an inch high.

Unsure where these wonky darlings came from, but they are quite cute!

The CollectA arabian .

I just obtained a big set of acrylic paint pencils. What did I first use them on? Modelhorses! These are a mix of minish I had kicking around.

This is one of the 2026 releases, and he's really really gorgeous 😍

Idk what the #modelhorse community looks like here but please someone take this off my hands.

Chestnut version of the 2020 #BreyerFest ambassador model, one of about 100. I got at BreyerMidWest last weekend, asking $600 ppd ships w insurance

Will consider short time pays with refs

My namopaimo victim for this year will be this collecta mare&terrier (with no terrier lol). I imagine her as a hardy, wild type pony in pangare bay color

Happy PaloMonday

Ive been experimenting with recording this recently finished sculpture, though it is longer and slower paced, I felt like Id wanted to actually show the details instead of just skipping every few seconds!
Enjoy! 🖤

New schleich figurines that look very clearly ai generated

#Modelhorse collectors beware: Schleich is using ai now 🤢👎 which is sad 'cos their 2026 horses looked promising... And yet another reason i prefer collecta

A photo of a Stone Pebble sized drafter called Iced Sugar Cookie. The base color is like a cookie, with white icing like marks dripping down from the back. The mane and tail are pink. There are some sprinkles on the back, and a gingerbread man cookie painted on the side. Two hooves are white with green stripes, and the other two are white with red stripes.

Did everyone get enough tasty treats over the holidays? We seem to have a leftover sugar cookie on this Whimsical Horse Wednesday! 🍪😋
