Remember, we can't give you an estimate of the value of your model or your model horse collection, BUT there are many resources out there that can help you determine its worth. Please see the
About Model Horse Values page for some of these resources.

General Questions: info@identifyyourbreyer.com
Website Issues: webmistress@identifyyourbreyer.com
Photo Submissions: submissions@identifyyourbreyer.comSubmissions Requirements:
- Please make sure photo is high-resolution, clear and not blurry or pixelated. We can easily resize large images smaller as needed but small images do not enlarge well. Please make sure images are no smaller than 600 pixels if possible so people will be able to see model details.
- Please make sure model is well-lit but not over-exposed.
-
Ideally, we are looking for images of:
- Left and Right sides
- Close-up of face to show markings
- Belly if there are stamps, numbering or gender variations of model run
- Close-up of any special marks/stamps/mold marks
- Packaging and accessories (if possible).
-
Please use a neutral, plain backdrop (white, gray, black, light brown-beige) appropriate for model, (no white horse on white background, black horse on black background, etc. please).
-
Reasons for this request:
-
Since IDYB is an identification reference site, this is requested so the model is clear and easy for people to see when researching their models.
-
It is difficult to view model details when it is on a cluttered, busy or brightly colored background.
-
Bright colored backgrounds also tend to skew a model's color making it difficult to determine correct shade or variation.
-
Please to not add text, boxes, descriptions, etc. on the image. Any model information should be sent in the email that the image is being sent with.
-
If you wish to add a watermark, it should be added discretely on the background near the model and not cover any part of the model since it would hide details on the model. Please look at other images on the site to see where we place the IDYB watermark or reach out through our submissions email with any questions. Thank you!
