  • 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.
  • 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.
  • ACCESSORIES: Build an entire world with all Breyer Traditional accessories (sold separately) which include realistic barns, fencing, tack, trailers and even riders.

Sergeant Reckless, a fascinating Mongolian mare that became a Marine Sergeant. Named "Reckless" by the Marines fighting in the Korean War, she began her military career as a simple pack horse. At the Battle of Outpost Vegas in March 1953, Reckless carried almost 5 tons of ammunition over the course of a few days through "no man's land" to the frontlines, and also carried wounded soldiers to safety. Brought back to USA, she received her final promotion to Staff Sergeant in 1959 at Camp Pendleton, in addition to many other honors including 2 Purple Hearts. Reckless, who weighed 9-pounds and stood 14 hands high, became a national hero in 1954 when an article ran in the "Saturday Evening Post" magazine about her heroics during several battles in the Korean War. Traditional Sized model, 1:9 scale.
