Look-Alikes: G3 Jumper

The G3 Jumper hasn't seen as many releases as some of the other molds. It still manages to produce a few look-alikes though.

---

#5907 Dutch Warmblood (2009-11) is an extremely dark, plum-toned chestnut. Though many people call it bay, it doesn't actually have any black on the legs. Marking-wise, the model has a small star, eye-whites, and four airbrushed socks.

JCPenney Special Run #410176 Stablemates Parade of Breeds - Selle Français (2006) is a gold-toned medium bay with a metallic glitter to the coat. It has eye-whites and a stenciled off-fore sock.

K-Mart Special Run #6126 Stablemates Gift Collection (2008) is a softly shaded wild bay or buckskin. It has a short blaze and eye-whites.

Target Special Run #720227 Pony Gals - Swedish Warmblood (2009) is a shaded brown chestnut with three stenciled socks (not near-fore) and a small diamond-shaped star. The tip of the self-coloured tail has some flaxen shading and the forelock is flaxen in contrast to the rest of the self-coloured mane.

#5501 Jump Off: Carole and Starlight Gift Set - Starlight (2008-11) is a light buckskin, though it could also make a passable amber champagne. The model has eye-whites and a stenciled blaze ending in a snip.

BreyerFest Breyer Store Special #711080 Stablemates 20th Anniversary Commemorative Set - 1990 Dr. Peaches (2009) is a red bay with golden undertones and inky black points. He has a broken blaze ending in a snip and eye-whites.

#9115 The Eight Disciplines of the World Equestrian Games - Jumping (2010) is an even-toned red bay with eye-whites, a small star, and three stenciled socks (not near-hind).

JCPenney Special Run #410436 Stablemates Parade of Breeds - Dutch Warmblood (2008) is a chestnut tobiano with four white legs, eye-whites, and a blaze ending in a snip.

#5908 Sport Horse - Chestnut Pinto (2011-14) is a chestnut splash white with flaxen shading in the mane and tail, four stockings, and a large blaze ending in a white muzzle.

Gift Sets and Singles: BreyerFest Store Models

The BreyerFest Store offerings increased in quantity and variety over the years.

While it wasn't the first time Breyer released their Stablemate molds in porcelain, but it was the first time a new Stablemate mold appeared in porcelain before being released in plastic.

#711075 Isabel and Chloe (2005) featured a pair of pearly grey unicorns on a grassy, flower-strewn base. This was the first time collectors would see the G3 Walking Arabian and the G3 Lying Foal. 725 of these sets were released.

After a two year hiatus, the Stablemate keychains were back...at least a Stablemate keychain. #711985 Stablemates Keychain (2005) is a G2 Prancing Morgan in what is called "charcoal" in Breyer-lore; the closest horse colour it resembles is called "black silver". This glossy model had four socks, a bald face, and gold keychain hardware with a small fob with the Breyer Logo. Around 2,000 of these models were made.

---

There was a distinct lack of keychains at the 2006 BreyerFest, but they returned in 2007. 2,500 of the #711307 Cream Soda (2007) keychains were made. The model is a G3 Belgian as an American Cream Draft Horse in gold champagne with four socks, blaze, red and blue tail ribbons, slightly metallic finish, and silver keychain hardware.

---

#711077 All American Tribute (2007) consisted of representatives of three American Breeds. 1,250 of these sets were produced.

The G3 Standing Stock Horse is a Colorado Rangerbred in flaxen liver chestnut blanket appaloosa with star, eye-whites, and hind pasterns with striped hooves. The G2 Paso Fino is a bay dun Florida Cracker and the G3 Tennessee Walking Horse is a....Tennessee Walking Horse in black tobiano with four white legs and purple ribbons.

Our final model is something a bit different. Some do not consider the Chang'An mold an offical part of the Stablemate line, but he did start life as a Stablemate, the G2 Andalusian to be exact. Some re-sculpting turned the spirited Andalusian into an iconic Chang Dynasty Horse. Only 800 of #711078 Chang'An - Tang Dynasty Horse (2008) were released, though actual numbers in the wild are likely to be significantly lower as breakages were very high due to the thin legs and the lack of support from a base.
