im doing both. I just made a adoable little video about a teleporting donkey.

I am hoping to come more now that I am on summer break! I saw the chicken coop for shleich at tsc and fell in love with it but didnt get it that time! I was getting into breyer then realized what a waste of money they are! They are cheap, kinda ugly, barely detailed, get smudges easily, expensive, and take up so much space! Made a foal slip for one of my foals along with a bitty blanket! My racetrack is almost done but I still need dirt for it....

they are HIGHLY detailed! I just got Sara Moniet, and at first I didn't see it, but she actually has a bunch of detail! yes they are expensive, but I've seen customs of common models, for over $100! you could make money on them. they are not ugly, they are realistic and very beautiful.
they are not "cheap" you clearly haven't seen most of the vintage models. schliech get scratched easily, so what's wrong with breyer getting smudges easily? is there a schliechfest? no, because they are not as highly detailed, pretty, loved, expensive, shown, or popular as breyer. and there are TONS of different molds, models, AND they are modeled after REAL champion horses.

I collect Breyer, and "play" with Schleich by having a stables for them.

me too. I do have a little stables for my breyer, but I don't play with them. theyre too valuble for that.

I play with my Breyer and Schleich.

I sort of play with my breyer, but not like I do with my shcliech. with my schliech I make the stallions fight, and stuff like that. with breyer I just like, make the person ride, pet, wash, or showmanship with a horse.

My schleich live on my windowsill and are constantly being taken outside for play. My breyers are heavily protected

Well guys. You know how I was explaining how I want to have a green rug and blue walls for a field or barn scene or whatever if we moved into that house? Well now... I can!! We're finally moving!!! Yes! I can have my Schleich friendly room! Now I have to go choose a blue paint, find a rug, and get kitchen cabinet ideas!

I play with my schliech inside, sometimes outside, and I don't really play with my breyers at all. if I do its very carefully, and if one falls over I immediately pick it up and check for scratches.

I have an Instagram for my tack shop, and my stables. Tack shop is titanium_saddlery and my stables is starfire_stables

There you can see all of my photos.


I'm hoping to get the classics morgan, classics show jumping set, and Harley D zip because they retire this year

Cool! Well, I guess breyers just aren't my thing, I prefer hardy toys.

Yes, penguinette23 I agree, Schleich is my favorite! I have almost 200 models! Not only are they highly detailed and beautiful, but they are also great to use for things that would break a breyer.
Also, Schleich is easy to clean of the scratches and customizable. My friend and I found many ways to give them a constant new look.
One tip was painting clear nail polish over their hooves so that they don't' scratch each other or wear down their hooves as easily. It actually works, although we renewed their "hoof polish" every once in a while.
I'd love to hear more tips and give some tips on them!

I also have a few breyer horses. I own the Cloud wold horse herd (Which was from my favorite wild horse documentary), and I have some mini horses. (what are they called again? Not the mini whinnies, though I own some of those as well)

this got long... ok then...

@horsedreamer those are stablemates!

I have converted my friend to schleich! She's building her first barn!

ok people this topic says Schleich, am i not correct not Breyer so if you want to talk about breyer go and leave this topic alone breyers are not schleich and i love all the schleich people and how much they love schleich and no one said to talk about breyers JoHorseLover725 was only saying 98.9% of the people who loved schleich went to breyer.

I agree dreamer! I will take that tip! My hooves are always sooo worn out and turn green cause I put them on green diorama grass. Dasie, we were just talking about our personal favorites.

I did NOT convert to breyer. I am simply doing both. schliech=playing Breyer=falls on the ground francticly check for scratches or rubs

This topic might say Schleich but the players are free to talk about model horses in general whether it's Schleich, Breyer etc. So far this has been a very interesting, enjoyable an enlightnting discussion an I wish to see it kept that way.

I have a 2006 model that they no longer make

I was wondering if there is a web site that lists (or shows) all of the discontinued Schleich models?

I'm back! I just started making my awesome two stall barn/tack room. I made a saddle holder thingy out of Popsicle sticks, and pegs for bridles and halters.

I have a 1993 Clydesdale.

I found that quite rude actually. I do both breyer AND schleich that doesn't mean converted to just breyer.

And to add....I collect North Light resins, Artist resins, Breyers (OF & Customs), Cheval, Porcelains, Black Horse Ranch resins, Schleich, CollectA and my herd of Bulls and Steers...

So guess I'm all over the place when it comes to model horses....
