BreyerClassics Black Beauty Horse and Book Set (1:12 Scale), 8 years and up

This is great. I purchased this as a (Arabian theme) decoration in consideration of Palestinian people. It's much better than I thought and bigger so I'm going to need a better display shelf. It's worth the money. Also adorable for animal lovers.

Product as advertised. My son loves this Breyer.

Bought this set for my horse crazy daughter, she loves it! Says she can’t wait to read the story that came with it.

Great gift ideas for young readers and horse lovers.

I've collected these since I was very little. So I wanted to purchase this beautiful Black Beauty (with the book too!) for Toys for Tots. I'm sure it made some child very happy as it would have made me.

I bought this horse and book set, along with a couple of others by Breyer, for my daughter. The stories really add to the play value of the horses; it gives them a personality and a starting point for play. In a way, this concept reminds me of the American Girl dolls that my daughter also loves; the historical series of those dolls includes stories about the dolls based on different time periods. The dolls do have many accessories available, and I would like to see Breyer add more accessories or figures to go with these horse and book sets as well. I also wish the horses had brushable hair rather than molded plastic manes and tails, as little girls simply love to brush and groom! My daughter has a couple of horses with "real" hair and she loves washing, brushing, and braiding their hair; she can't do that with the Breyer horses. However, this horse really is lovely and unusual, and the story is engaging.

I am in love with this model. I have always loved the movie and now I can read the book.

The packaging was very well done and protected the figure and book well. Book was in great condition, no fraying on the edges from the horse or anything. My daughter loved it as her Christmas gift.
