Great for a horse or animal enthusiast
My 4-year old daughter got this 8 months ago and it is a winner. The two compartments, many doors, storage areas and folding fence give her all she needs to make her space for her many horses and other animals. It gets used every day and nothing has broken.

Worth the money
This play barn is exactly what I was looking for for my 4 year old son who is a Horse enthusiast. It is much bigger than I expected, beautiful, and has lots of opening doors and gates. It also comes with a fence that folds up and stores neatly in the barn. This barn is big enough for Breyer horses, and has an a swing out side. It was a great purchase and highly recommended.

Nice barn for toy horses
Just got this item today and I am impressed with it's compatibility for various sizes of toy horses. I especially love the fact that it can be folded up to a smaller size to be tucked into a closet when needed.

This barn has multiple doors that open-some slide and other's are dutch doors. We do have another barn of this type that has the dutch doors and the hinge's fell apart right away. I am hoping this one will be better since the doors do seem to open and close more smoothly on this particular barn...but need to stress that the kids need to be somewhat 'gentle' with these dutch doors so they don't break the hinges. The manufacturer really should attach them with metal hinges and they would last alot longer.

Overall...I feel my kids are going to get alot of enjoyment out of this barn. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Horses need a stable for shelter.The 3.5-inch-long, 2-inch-tall horses included in this set are privileged to have such a wonderful red and white plastic stable. The barn snaps together in minutes andincludes a tack and storage room and three stalls with swinging doors.Accessories such as a water trough,four corral fences, a jump, and three race barrels ensure fun-filled days for these lucky horses.The barn is10.5 inches long, 6.5 inches wide, and 7 inches high.What a wonderful toy and display piece for horselovers! --Tami Horiuchi ...

L:ittle Red Stable
This a totally fun toy, it is so much fun to play with abd pretend that you have your own stable. It is very durable although the horses legs are easliy bent, It is a very educational toy becasue it teaches you what you need to have happy and healthy horses.

FUN FUN FUN
My mom got this for me and I have been playing with it ever since! I collect stablemates and I think whoever collects them should get this barn!

Cute, but only suitable for display
My daughter (aged 5 when she received this item, now turning 7) loves the Breyer horses and the Little Red Stable. Unfortunately Breyer is to look at, not play with. The horses do not stand well and several have suffered broken legs. The Stable is made of a very thin, almost brittle, plastic. My daughter is not rough with her toys, and though she enjoys playing with the set, the broken horses and sharp plastic are a put-off. I wouldn't recommend this for enthusiastic play or for portable entertainment.

RATE HORSE STABLE SET
I THOUGHT THAT THE HORSE STABLE WAS VERY CUTE AND MY SON LOVES HORSES. HE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS GREAT FOR ALL HIS HORSES TOO STAY IN. HE COULD PUT SOME IN THERE TO TRAVEL WITH WHERE EVER HE GOES. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT TOY FOR ANY CHILD WHO LOVES HORSES.

Stablemates Little Red Barn
I apsolutely loved my barn when I was a little girl. It was hard to put together and that meant to me that it wasn't going to fall apart. I loved the fact that it comes with two Stablemates! I hope that someone will have a lot of fun with beautiful collectors item/toy! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Part of Breyer's Stablemates collection of small horse figures, these four beauties will make a welcome addition to any stable. The set contains a Palomino Andalusian, a Blue Roan Pinto, a Sorrel American Quarter Horse, and a Bay Saddlebred, all with gorgeous markings, contrasting colors, and the same detail and quality found in their larger Breyer counterparts. Made of hard plastic, each horse is sculpted to 1/32 scale, measuring 1 by 2-1/4 by 3-1/2 inches. --Andy Boynton ... Read more

I LOVE BREYER HORSE TOYS
hi im nikki and i love horse toys breyer is a great company i recomend it. im 11 and am a rider buy more horse toys their fun and valuble!!!!!!!

Little Herd, Grand Fun
Hello, I am a proud owner of this little herd. I think these toys are very fun and educational because you can care for them , walk,trot,canter(slope) and even gallop them! I don't think these toys deserved 5 stares on durablity because one of my horses tail chiped. These are also very fun to play with if you have more StableMates to add to this herd! Because of how my horse chipped (and my freinds horses leg broke) I would'nt recamend giving these horses to cildren under 3 (the leg or any part of the horses body could break and be swallowed) or anyone who might play ruffly with there toys. These horses make great little aditions to any breyer collection.

great toy
This is a really good solid set with really pretty pony's.Personally I had a little trouble with standing up the grey thouroughbred mare,also, breyer reuses their molds so now I have many more than one mold in my herd.

COOL TOY!
I have a stable, and it was sooo fun to play with! I recomend it to kids who have imagination/love horses.

Cool toy !!
i'm 11, and i'm totally horse crazy, i loved these cute horses . They worked great in my collection!!

Dandi Indeed!
We purchased a variety of twin pack Dandi Little Horses as favors for a Birthday party. They were an instant hit with the children who ranged in age from 3years to 13 years. The expressions on the ponies' faces, the bright colors of the Indian blankets and moreover the meticulous markings on the horses themselves make these more than playtoys, they qualify as collector's items. The colors on the coats of these horses are true to life and the texture of their velvety coats and manes are made for touching and petting. Unlike some cheap flocking glued over plastic that is easily rubbed off, these velvet coats are dense and believable and don't rub off. We all loved these Dandi Little Horses and they are now the basis for building a complete set. ... Read more

Well, if your intrested in collecting, heres some thaings you might want. Barn,2-3 diffrent Breyer horses. (ones you like and can afford, and anything else you wanna add to a Breyer collection.

This is a Toy and not for Horse collections
I purchased this horse as an addition for my Horse collection and found that this was a TOY and not appropriate to add to my collection.

I was very disappointed and will give this to my grandson.

Also, I have paid less for nicer quality model horses, so if you are adding to an existing model horse collection, pass this by(...)

- - - Rain: Mare of the Cimarron - - -
This is a very fine quality model of Rain that I would recommend to any fellow mare lover. The sculptor did an excellent job of giving her believable equine anatomy, yet she still has the look and beauty of Rain in the movie, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron.

The model appears to be made of a heavy plastic and is well buffed to a dull sheen after painting. I have two of these and one of them has the seam on her croup so well smoothed that you cannot see where it is. The other has some minor sanding marks and a small depression that goes from the base of her tail, along her spine to her withers. This is only of concern to a collector, or mare fancier as it is not very noticeable. To me it detracts from the lovely, graceful shape of her rump and back. If you are worried make sure you look carefully before opening the box so you can return her and get another that pleases you.

There is a very small hole drilled in the left corner of her smile which I have been told by Breyer is so that the air can escape when the model is joined together. It is very minor and is much better than how they have done it in the past when they would poke a hole in the nostril of the model.

The painting is not perfect, but certainly acceptable. Her eyes are well indicated and her coat pattern closely follows that of her in the movie. Her mane and tail are flowing with some nice hollows and through-holes that simulate her hair wafting in the wind. She has a very cute expression with which you can't help fall in love.

Her pose is realistic and very stable on a table top. She is in tripod stance and we can see the bottoms of 3 of her hooves which actually have a very slight "V" at the heel and are slightly concave to indicate the frog and sole of a barefooted mare. This is a very nice detail that they added to her in my opinion. She can also be tilted back to balance on her hindlegs and tail so that she is rearing up in a very attractive manner! :) On the inside of her left hind upper leg she has a small silver painted logo of Spirit at the gallop. Opposite this on her right hind leg is molded: TM & ©2002 Dreamworks L.L.C. Breyer © Reeves.

Summary: If you love horses in general, mares in particular, and Rain specifically, you will want to own this model. I will be buying at least two more for my collection. I use her for display still in her box, as a model for drawing her and horse anatomy, and as a reminder of how much I love horses and have enjoyed her movie, Spirit.

A Beautiful Breyer Collectible
Rain is an elegant and beautiful paint mare who lives with her owner Little Creek, a young Lakota brave. This is another beautiful model from the movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. Her lovely prancing position, the lovely little feather in her mane, and her pretty little blue eyes make Rain another "must have" Breyer Collectible.

Beautiful, but hardly for play
I was in love with horses as a child (as any girl was!) and I still have a huge soft spot for winged horses.So, when I saw this beautiful butterfly winged lot, I had to have them for my collection.Being Breyer, of course, the horse bodies are magnificent (but keep in mind, as 'toys', not model quality.)
I love the whole set.
The wings, though, are quite disturbingly fragile.I had one ship with the thin bracket holding one wing in place broken off.And even with careful handling I had the wings on one side (there are two wings on each side) seperate and come unglued.I was unable to fix either problem, and will have to pay for a replacement after only one day!
Although extremely beautiful, I would hardly recommend these items for children who would put them through anything but the most careful of play. ... Read more

Erm..
The problem with Breyer is that they are now starting to focus a LOT on the display factor instead of the durability for children. I think this item should be mostly for older kids and collectors. It is great to play with, but is outragously expensive...and you can't even do anything with it without the car, which is like another [$$$]!

This horse trailer is very delicate.
I purchased this horse trailer for my 8 year old daughter thinking that a brand name such as breyer would be worth the $... I paid. My daughter began playing with her horses and new trailer and within 10 minutes the latch for the rear door broke. I glued the latch and gave it back to her. The next thing that broke was the ring that the little chain hooks into, also within 10 minutes. My daughter is not a rough child and rarely breaks a toy, so I am very disappointed in this product.

Nice Trailer
This is a very realistic horse trailer and is very detailed. It is large enough for full size model horses, and pretty well made. The only part not made very well is the butt chain---it is a bit flimsy and I found it to be a little difficult to latch and unlatch. The only other drawback to this trailer is that currently there is no matching truck made to pull the trailer! Hopefully, they will come out with one, and I hope Breyer collectors will email the company to request one be made (I've sent in my request already!) Over all, it's a very nice trailer! ...

The Spirit of Breyer
I think this is not a toy,I think it looks better in a shelf but if you want too play you can but not very hard.I think that in general breyers are not for little children.This Spirit is really beautiful and catchs very the idea of the movie.If you buy Rain they will look wonderful.I have them both.

CHEAP quality, HIGH price
I bought this horse and low and behold one month after purchase, the tail broke off. I have tried to glue it and still won't hold. It is strange, we have about 10 of these horses, foal, and mares. We have 5 that are broken . For the price you pay they should be durable. They are intended for "Play", or so it is advertised that way. I don't think they had children test them. I thought I was doing the right thing buying the more expensive hores for the quality! NOT, I'M DISAPPOINTED!

Very nice toy to look at but for a child to play with, well.
I purchased this for my daughter for Christmas 2002. One week later to the day she was playing with it and not in a very rough manner, the back leg broke.

This was not a cheap horse and I just did not want to purchase another one. My husband with his expertise in repair fixed the leg but it sits on a shelf now and cannot be advised to play with.

The 'Rain' horse seems very strong though.

Amazing Toy!!
Even though I am a Breyers collector and dont play with my models often, I found this toy very durable and amazingly fun!Its very realistic, and every horse lover should have it!It teaches children the atonamy of the horse, and they can re-create their favorite scenes!If they buy Rain along with Spirit, it doubles the fun, and they look priceless on any collectors shelf, or any childs room! Believe me, I have them, so I know!^_^

Great Fencing!
This is a great fence for kids who love to set up plays with barns!(I do) It makes a great pasture or riding arena! (4 stars for edu. because how can a model fence be edu?)It is not really model showing quality however because it not very realistic. I recomend getting this for play and not for showing.

The Little Wooden Fence
The gates and fences are hard to set up and they fall back down easily. Best for modeling not play. ... Read more

Overpriced piece of junk
The good: The truck matches the horse trailer (has a hitch for it). The 8" breyer figures fit inside.

The bad: This truck is made of thin, flimsy plastic. The doors don't stay closed. Mine arrived with misaligned parts that caused the tailgate to keep falling off. I had to take the thing apart and readjust all the screws. My wife told the kids not to use the steering wheel, tailgate, or hood because it looks like it'll fall apart if they do. What's the point?

My advice: buy a remote control truck the same size, which will be half the price, and make a hitch for the trailer. It'll me much more fun, and you'll only have to worry about the trailer breaking (but that's a different review :). ... Read more

Fitting Tribute to a Great Horse
I own this piece as part of my Triple Crown set including Slew and Secretariat and I just love it. Every muscle, shadow and ripple in his mane and tail are picked out in excellent detail. This is the only piece of Affirmed memorabilia I have in which his mane is loose and not braided as he wore it in his races. The pose shows him just "being a horse", it's really nice. A nice addition to anyone's collection. ... Read more

Neat for any Breyer Collector!
This Breyer vet is neat! She comes with syringe, medicine tub, thermometer, vet case, and stethoscope. This is educational because it teaches how to care for a horse's health and is fun because kids like dolls. However, the vet doesn't stand even on a hard surface and sometimes the joints get loose. The tiny thermometer and syringe are constantly getting lost.
