Dapples/Ponies

The Dapples series was introduced in 1995. It was comprised of horses, dolls, plastic tack and various accessories all aimed at the younger collector. In 1998 the Dapples were reborn as the "Breyer Ponies" series, complete with more realistic horse coloring. The horses in this line were sculpted by Kathleen Moody in an approximately 1:12 scale, and feature more human-expressive faces and larger eyes than real horses. Although some collectors have become quite interested in this line, it remains largely a toy line for children. The Ponies line was absent from the 2007 catalog but as of the end of 2007 they are still appearing in retail stores. It seems possible that they are being phased out by Breyer's new "Wind Dancer" line of fantasy horses aimed the same age group. For more information you may also wish to check out The Breyer Pony Pages.

Note: The "Young Riders" and "Young Mare & Foal" sets are smaller than the regular Dapples/Ponies models and cannot wear standard Dapples/Ponies tack or accessories.
