What a let down! A disgrace.
DO NOT BUY. You can't rate educational value, because the child is so disappointed when they touch something and it falls off!! It is only an education to the buyer not to purchase from Breyer. A carrying case too? I'd forgotten that was what it was called since the cupola snaps off immediately (as do the other parts). I purchased and assisted in the assembly with this for a 4-yr old horse lover. What a shame to the Breyer name. I am a horse lover and always thought of Breyer as THE name for horse collectibles. I cannot believe the poor quality put out by the company. DO NOT BUY. Everything snaps off, stickers peel off. The quality is soooo bad. Breyer should be refunding anyone that purchased this item and do a recall on batch numbers and claim machine malfunction.

I purchased a solid wood barn for under (...) just prior to the holiday for my own 5-yr-old daughter. It would have been worth the original asking of (...). It holds all of her horses and other animal friends.

Santa goofed
Purchased for a 6 years old who loves horses. She was excited but quickly became disappointed because of poor quality. Doors and windows fall off at the lightest touch. We couln't even get the fence to stay up... the only part that's usable is the horse. Check out Playmobil. It's a much better product and well worth the price.

Not at all what was expected
I found this barn very disappointing. The plastic material is flimsy and the pieces do not stay snapped together. It comes with stickers to decorate the barn and accessories, but peel off easily. I ordered it because I loved the features of the fold up/carrying style and trusted the renowned Breyer name... I thought it would be perfect for my 4 year old horse lover. My son lays on the floor and plays gently in imaginative play with this set, but even still the barn easily falls apart (windows and doors fall off, fence will not stay attached and falls down). The accessories are cheap plastic as well.

This is [not worth the price] I paid. And certainly not worth the Breyer name. ... Read more

A Wonderful Tribute to America's Horse
I've actually had this piece for quite a while, it's an older mold than the Seattle Slew or Affirmed models. While the detail and coloration are not quite as good as that of the more recent models, I still love my Big Red and he will stand proudly for all time on the shelf next to Slew and Affirmed. ...

Gotta love the Mules!!!
Breyers Mule Miss Sheba is great. The markings on her are correct of real mules(shoulder bars, dorsal stripe, Leg bars) like the one she was painted after. Bring her home to bray-What is a Breyer barn without a mule? ... Read more

Correction on War Admiral and his "real name"
For those of you reading all the reviews, the person who said that War Admiral's real name is Man o' war father of seabiscuit, was in fact incorrect. War Admiral is not seabiscuits father nor is his real name man o' war. War Admiral and Man O' War are TWO DIFFERENT horses. However, both war admiral and seabiscuit are decendants of Man O' War. Seabiscuits father was Hard Tack. Just thought I would clarify that. Anyway, Breyer horses and animals are wonderful, they are durable, educational, collectible, and a lot of fun. Save the more expensive ones for older children who will understand collectible value, but don't hesitate to buy the cheaper classic sized or lower priced traditinals for younger children. My 2 year old plays w/ all my old breyer horses from my childhood, he loves them. =D

War Admiral's Real Name by Janel Gibson
War Admirals real name is Man O War father of Seabiscuit. Man O War was the first one to make horse history with a great speed record. This model is a fun horse to play with buy some race tack and have ready to run a race. But be careful with him and other models they can break easyily. Have fun and try not to break him or Seabiscuit they would't like that.

A Tribute Worthy of a Noble Thoroughbred
Breyer planned to sculpt this mold long before its merchandising deal with the Seabiscuit marketeers. Why? War Admiral was a Triple Crown Winner with impeccable breeding and a bloodline that has achieved greater immortality than Seabiscuit. Breyer makes a substantial investment in its model horses and therefore chooses only the best of the best. This model does justice to a horse that did much more than lose to Seabiscuit. ...

Amazing Model!!!
This is an amazing modle. I love the detail. This model is very fragile though, So I keep mine on display. When I got mine it wasn't glossy but I didn't care. I think it is a beautiful addition to any Breyer collection. It may be expensive but I think you'll like it.

The Big Brown Stallion
He is very large and has huge hooves. His mane and tail is put up in fancy buns. Meant to be a model, NOT A TOY!!! He is more fragile than others.

REALLY COOL
I LOVE THIS MODEL SO MUCH ITS SO COOL!! ... Read more

Fun, I guess
Walter Farely's Flame is a loved character for many people, but the model of the Island Stallion is not as good as it could be, in my opinion. The model makes him look a bit fat. He is more of somthing to look at, rather then play with. If you have a Black Stallion/ Island Stallion loving child, the toy is fine, but the parent of a regular horse crazy kid might consider somthing that one can actually put a bridle on.

Walter Farley's Flame Come To Life
Flame from Breyer is a very neat toy, and he is very durable. The effort made into this toy has made him very lifelike. I have read the book, too, and I love the way Walter Farley writes. Flame is in just the right pose, because he looks alittle aggressive, and that is how the real Flame acts. ... Read more
