Yes, you heard right, when the real horse market is in the crapper, leave it to an individual from the nutso model horse crowd (of which I am proudly a member) to spend almost as much as a person will pay for a CAR on a plastic horse. Apparently this year at the annual convention, Breyerfest, one of the auction models (a smutty palomino Alborozo) sold for $13,500. It was a one of a kind model from a mold that has been destroyed. The celebration model Alborozo was a true limited run this year, they broke the mold after the celebration horses were created. No word yet on just exactly how many were made, but there will be no more. If I can find a pic of him I will post it. Here is one of the celebration model...
On another note, here is a lovely specimen from DreamHorse for your perusal today...
STOP RIDING BABIES PEOPLE!! This horse is WAY too small and way too underdeveloped to be hauling your ass around!! He looks like a yearling in this pic. If the ad is correct and he is indeed two and also if the pic is a recent one (which I doubt) this horse is very underdeveloped for his age, he looks like he has a LOT of growing to do still. There is NO WAY he should be being ridden. He needs another year at least to mature. And good grief, downhill much? I realize the camera is tilted a a weird angle, but if you look, his feet are on the same plane. His shoulder appears fairly upright and he seems to toe out some in the back. Throw this one back for a year and let him grow up. Here is the ad link ... http://www.dreamhorse.com/show_horse.php?form_horse_id=1241663

That is crazy! No breyer should sell for as much as a good Warmblood eventer or reiner! I have seen breyers selling for around $800 on eBay though. Also I am also sick of people riding foals! Give the poor thing a chance to grow up and fill out. My friend rides a 3 year old but she is light and the colt is filled out.
