Stablemate 1:32 scale

Issued: 2019

Mold:  The Alborozo (G5) Stablemates mold, sometimes referred to as Mini Alborozo or Andalusian Stallion, was introduced in 2018. It is the mirror image Stablemates version of the  Alborozo  Traditional series model, which was sculpted by Brigitte Eberl. The mold has a "Breyer © Reeves Intl" mold stamp on its belly.

His coloring was inspired by pictures from a book about horses of the west and had representations of authentically bred Nez Perce horses. I think this little nugget does them justice.

Please look at photos closely and make your decision.

Please ask any questions prior to biding. Additional photos are available.

Models from a smoke, animal, and COVID free home.

GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING “NEW” ITEMS ONLY:

•   This item has never been removed from the ties of the box (The Box MAY have been opened previously, but the horse has not been removed from the ties). Horse has only been removed from box for photo purposes where specified.
•   The Breyer packages may have small creases (in the cardboard), scuffing, etc... If there is additional damage, I have added photos of the damages.

·             If horse was removed for photos, tabs on box may have small tears from opening. I try to      be as careful as possible, but this does happen. Box may not be in pristine condition if model was removed. Removal is noted in listing. Please read carefully.    

·          I am not responsible for any damages, factory or otherwise, to the non-visible side of the model if still attached in the original packaging/strapping. This side of the model cannot be inspected and therefore if, when Buyer removes model from factory packaging, if there are any damages/flaws/etc, Seller is not and cannot be held responsible for these. Model will not be accepted for return under any circumstances if removed from original packaging if it has been sold as New/Never removed. Buyer assumes all responsibility and model is sold as is under all circumstances.

GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING “CUSTOM” ITEMS ONLY:

·         “Each item is painted by hand, and may have minor flaws, (not including scratches or damage). No guarantee of live show ability is implied. No piece of artwork is without imperfections- whether it be a slight texture to the surface, dust in the finish or other minor flaws. Please note that I do not accept returns for these minor imperfections! Finding flaws (such as a bumpy finish) on the model is not  an acceptable reason for return. I am not able to create artwork as smooth as an original finish Breyer, please take note of this before bidding!

·         this model is not  represented to be "live show quality". I would prefer that the buyer determine this! No guarantee of live show ability is implied. No piece of artwork is without imperfections- whether it be a slight texture to the surface, dust in the finish or other minor flaws. Please note that I do not accept returns for these minor imperfections!

·         Custom horses are more delicate than original Breyer models, and are intended as a collectible. They are not durable enough for play.

·         Custom models range from simple customs which consist of just a repainted model, no sanding or seam removing; too drastic customs where complete rearrangement of parts can take place. The amount of work done will be noted in description so please be sure to fully read all details describing the model you are bidding on. Returns are not  accepted because you failed to read a description and received a model not as stated as described.

GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING “ETCHED” ITEMS ONLY:

·        Etching involves removing paint from the surface with an exacto knife. This process can inherently leave scratches, cuts, marks in the plastic of the body. Though all care is made to remove these marks through sanding, buffing and smoothing, the nature of the process is that the area where paint was removed (white plastic areas) may be rougher and have cut indentations. Objection to this deviation from the original finish smooth surface is  NOT  a reason acceptable for a return request. Please use zoom feature to inspect pictures prior to bidding. Bid retractions or failures to pay will result in nonpayment case opened, blocking on future items and negative feed back.

·        This model is  not  represented to be "live show quality". I would prefer that the buyer determine this! No guarantee of live show ability is implied. No piece of artwork is without imperfections- whether it be a slight texture to the surface, dust in the finish or other minor flaws. Please note that I do not accept returns for these minor imperfections!

·         Please ask all questions prior to bidding. Retraction of bids may lead to blocking to subsequent sales and negative reviews on FB sale transaction pages.

Please read the description of sizes and condition carefully and use the zoom feature to get the most out of the pictures! Breyer horses vary in size depending on whether it's a pony or foal(these will always be smaller), which category and which breed. Approximate sizes follow:

Traditional: 12 inches by 10 inches

Classic: 9 inches by 7 inches

Paddock Pals: 4 inches by 3 inches

Stablemates: 3 inches by 2 inches

The way Breyer horses are described varies greatly. My scale is very "picky" and models may look better to you than I've rated them. Please use the pictures to make your judgment call as to if you wish to purchase the model listed. Have fun!

Excellent: Model has either no flaws that I could see or something very tiny.

Very Good: Model will have minor ear tip, hoof edge or body rubs but these will be very small and possibly not noticeable unless looked at closely.

Good: Model will have several rubs, scuffs or maybe marks but will have no chips, cracks or breaks. Good starter or shelf.

Good Played with: Model will have been played with hard, usually good only for remake or a very young horse lover to keep playing with in their carpet herd.

I do not claim any item is LSQ as this is subjective to each collector as to what they feel will compete and win in the Live Show arena. Most are PSQ and I try to list any and all flaws/marks that I have found, but I am only human and may miss something. No cracks, chips or breaks. Items come from some free home.

Therefore, you are bidding on the model shown and agreeing to buy it in “as is” condition. If you have any additional questions prior to bidding, please email. I will send additional photos and answer all inquiries within 24 hours.

Thank you for your interest.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!
