The first release in our Test Run offerings for 2022 – exclusively for Breyer Collector Club members! Breyer test run models are initial decos painted up to see how a particular color might look on a particular sculpture. Or, they may be created to test out a painting technique or new colorway. Not all test run models are used, and they may vary over time as different painting techniques are developed and tested. Each model has a fixed price and interested members enter a random draw for the ability to purchase the test piece.
Part of the Classics Western Performance Series and sculpted by Carol Herden, Breyer’s 1:12 scale reining horse sculpture was originally released as a portrait of the legendary AQHA stallion Hollywood Dun It in 1998. Depicted in the midst of a sliding stop, this sculpture is one of the most unique of Breyer’s offerings in any scale! This test run model likely dates to the early 2000s and is a shaded medium chestnut with an elongated star, snip, and freehanded sock on the right front leg.
