Made famous by Marguerite Henry’s classic tale, Misty of Chincoteague, Chincoteague Island has become a major destination for horse lovers. In July, feral ponies living on the Virginia side of Assateague Island are guided by “saltwater cowboys” and led to Chincoteague Island for the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company’s (CVFC) foal auction, which raises funds to care for the herd.Foaled in 2009, famous wild Chincoteague stallion Surfer’s Riptide is a flaxen chestnut with flashy white markings – just like his late sire, Surfer Dude.
2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the pony swim and auction. A portion of the proceeds from each model’s sale supports the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company and the Museum of Chincoteague.

HAND CRAFTED DETAIL: The world's 'most asked for' horses since 1950. Each individual Breyer model is prepped and finished by hand and then turned over to the painting department for hand painting and detailing. In all, some 20 artisans work on each individual model horse, creating an exquisite hand-made model horse that is as individual as the horse that inspired it.
TRUE EQUESTRIAN ART: Breyer models begin as beautiful horse sculptures created by leading equine artists that are then cast into a copper and steel mold. Each model is created one at a time from the original mold, which is injected with a special resin selected by Breyer for its ability to capture the depth of detail, delicate feel and richness of color in our models.
