Breyer Model Horses
Breyer Animal Creations, originally called Breyer Molding Company, was founded in 1950 in Chicago, Illinois. FW Woolworth commissioned the company to create a horse statue to adorn a mantel clock. That horse is known as the #57 Western Horse. Customers liked the horse so much that they requested that Breyer produce just the horse. Since that time Breyer has been a major producer of model horses.
