A few months back, sometime before Christmas, I picked up a blind packaged Paint-Your-Own Breyer Stablemate. It came with one blank Stablemate horse with a set of three paint colours to… paint your own Stablemate!

I loved painting it so much that I went back and bought the package that included all five models.

I used three of these models to create three horses that I knew. Zack, Morgan (now known as Trevor), and Laney.

The other two horses ended up becoming “Misty” and “Latcho Drom”.

These five Stablemates opened up a new world for me, as I began to search and realize that custom model horse painting is a very big thing.

Since then, I have begun to collect Traditional and Classic size Breyer horses, as well as knock off horses. The majority of these horses are intended to be customized.

I will document these customizations here.
