Breyer Paint Your Own Horse Set – Quarter Horse & Saddlebred 2-Horse Kit

Begin a colorful horse art project at home

Breyer's Paint Your Own Horse set invites young artists to bring two classic models to vibrant life. The included Quarter Horse and Saddlebred arrive in compact 6" x 4" figures, providing a ready-to-paint canvas that’s approachable for beginners yet offers room to explore shading, eye detail, and expressive markings. The kit’s tactile surfaces and bright paints create an engaging, hands-on experience that blends art, play, and a love for horses.

Each painting session unfolds like a mini studio moment. The six paints supply a versatile palette to experiment with natural coat tones, subtle color shifts, and delicate line work. The three brushes, with soft bristles and balanced tips, support precise touches and broader fills. A detailed instruction booklet offers guidance, photo references, and step-by-step ideas that help you capture the spirit of these two Breyer models while developing your own style.

What’s included

• Two model horses: one Quarter Horse and one Saddlebred, each 6" L x 4" H

Craft, detail, and realism you can see

Breyer’s tradition of hand-painted model horses shines through in each piece. The figures are hand-prepped and finished, then hand-painted with attention to depth, color richness, and the feeling of movement. Because each model is crafted individually, no two are exactly alike, offering a small, collectible touch to every painting project.

Explore authentic detail and technique

The included booklet showcases coat colors, eye and hoof details, and distinct markings. With these visuals, painters can practice shading, color layering, and line work, while staying true to the horse’s character and pose. This makes for a thoughtful, creative activity that can evolve with your skills.

Great for gifting, learning, and family fun

This kit is a thoughtful gift for horse lovers of all ages. It’s easy to start, yet encourages experimentation and growth as you explore new techniques and styles. It’s a gentle introduction to model horse customization that can become a relaxing, rewarding hobby.
