Redone April 8, 2021
Hello and welcome to my model horse collection tour book! As of redoing this intro I am a 19 year old female collector from the Pacific Northwest, who's also been lucky enoughto own 3 real horses, and I've been in the hobby for going on 8 years. I was first introduced to Breyer's when my uncle gave me $25 for my eleventh or twelfth birthday, I bought the dapple grey pinto Morgan with black pinto scratching foal Stablemates set and the four piece Saddle Club Stablemates set.
Since then I started out slow until I started finding a small handful of stores in my area that had them and I'd scrap up change and holiday money to buy more Stablemates. As I got a little bit older and joined Facebook, I found plenty of model horse related groups and finally the Breyer website. I started watching YouTube videos of unboxing and collection tours until I finally decided I wanted to become a serious collector as well, 2/3 years after buying my first ones.
I have since made many goals for my collecting and what I wanted my shelves to look like. Some completed, some close, and some scrapped for whatever reason. My herd of horses have grown and shrunk tremendously over the years, the most I counted that I had at a time was around 265 all together. I tend to sell, trade, and buy a lot so the number fluctuates frequently.
I don't have a "exciting" purpose to collect other then it makes me happy and it's something I'm proud to look at. My favorite scale to collect, as you'll find out, are Stablemates with some Traditional scaled models thrown in the mix too. I've leaned towards collecting more special run type models recently rather then focusing on all the regular runs available, in hopes to help obtain some grails. Also I love collecting unique colors and coat patterns, the more unique the design the more likely it is I feel like I "need" it, though I'm not into decorator models unfortunately.

I make several different kinds of updates, some more exciting then others, so if you only like specific kinds of updates here's a symbol code to help navigate through the madness and hopefully it helps. Some updates will have two symbols, meaning it has both categories in one.

WEAKLING
A geeky highschooler develops superpowers and is recruited to an international peackeeping unit at the same time as struggling with mental health problems. * Gonzalo Lopez is just a normal teenager except that he has superpowers. Or does he? Ever since that fight with the bully where his powers first manifested and he broke his attacker’s hand by accident, everything has been spiralling out of control. Now all of a sudden he’s getting invited to parties, his psychiatrist’s started dating his Mom, and at least two different international organisations are trying to hunt him down. Then there’s Ali--the new girl at school, the only other person who believes any of this is happening to him, who seems to be hiding a secret of her own. Is she really his friend like she says she is, or does she have some sort of ulterior motive for being so nice to him all the time? Should he tell her about Miracle Force, the superpowered United Nations peacekeeping unit he’s just been recruited to? And is any of this really happening, or is it all just going on in his head? * You can read deleted scenes on my Patreon.
8 97Aspect of the Beast
This story is being rewritten! The new version, A Price in Memory, can be found here. I highly suggest you read the new version as this one won't be completed. Also, there has been a lot of changes so you won't be able to continue with the other where this one left off. A soldier dies on a battlefield, his body broken but his mind at peace. He died for the only thing he truly cared about, his family. In a different world a talented mage completes his life’s work, an entire rebuilding of one of the greatest ancient spells, resurrection. Bypassing the stringent requirements, he attempts to make this great magic accessible to the masses, and by doing so earn his place in history. But lost to the passage of time is the reason for these requirements. Not to unnecessarily complicate this great magic, but to ensure the transfer of only mortal souls. For there are things that dwell in the realm of the dead that should never be allowed to cross over.
8 161Kingdom of the Lich
Hidden deep beneath the ruins of his home, Reud waited. As an undying lich, time was of no consequence, all that mattered was bringing back the person closest to him, his wife Lilia. In the world above, the empire that destroyed his home have ruled the land with an iron fist, kidnapping any child with a hint of magic, depriving the people of the only ones with the power to protect them from the ravages of the magical beasts that hunt in the night. The once thriving land has been reduced to isolated communities, barely scraping together a living. How will Reud and Lilia react to the new world they find themselves in? How will the world react to those with the power to change it?
8 571The Traveler Initiative
Liam is a down on his luck gambler and his life is falling apart at the seams. It all culminates in a rather unfortunate end, as his loan sharks come to collect. Yet, it would seem that he gets another chance at life. With no other choice, he joins the Traveler Initiative, which promises the freedom to explore planets across the universe, a new body, and a slew of other benefits. But even in this strange afterlife, his gambling addiction rears its ugly head and he somehow ends up as a... Slug???
