Traditional Molds

The Traditional series was Breyer's first and largest scale of model horses (at 1:9, more or less) until the introduction of the Springtime Foals series in 2014. Interestingly, it was not actually dubbed "Traditional" until 1975, when the Stablemates line was first introduced. The Bucking Bronco, Polo Pony, Hobo, and Rearing Stallion have all been included in this line by Breyer, but are placed in the Classic section on this site due to their smaller size. While I have been a collector since the early 1970s, my knowledge of the details and variations on many early models is sparse, and I am deeply grateful to Nancy Atkinson Young and her excellent book, Breyer Molds and Models: Horses, Riders, & Animals, Revised Fifth Edition, as well as the input of many wonderful fellow hobbyists on Model Horse Blab, for the information on these pages.

A brief note as to mold names: Breyer isn't always forthcoming with the name of each new mold and sometimes changes mold names over time, which can lead to confusion among collectors. The mold names shown here reflect Breyer's most common usage and may change if I get better information from the company.
