Scales
There are six basic scales of Breyer horse models:
- Traditional: 1:9 scale (each model is around 8" H × 11" L)
- Classic: 1:12 scale (dollhouse; about 7" H × 5" L)
- Ponies/Pony Gals: same as Classics
- Paddock Pal 1:24 scale(about 6 inches to 4 inches) - Now retired.
- Little Bits (about 4.5" to 5" tall)
- Stablemates: 1:32 scale (about 7 cm H × 6 cm L)
- Mini Whinnies: 1:64 scale (each "adult" horse is only one inch tall)
As of 2008, the Ponies line has been replaced with a similar line titled, "Pony Gals". The line differs from other Breyer products in that the models have brush-able manes and tails and may have jointed heads, necks, and legs, and are marketed towards younger children.

Famous quotes containing the word scales:
“Love once
Tipped the scales but now is shadowed, invisible,
Though mysteriously present, around somewhere.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“It cannot but affect our philosophy favorably to be reminded of these shoals of migratory fishes, of salmon, shad, alewives, marsh-bankers, and others, which penetrate up the innumerable rivers of our coast in the spring, even to the interior lakes, their scales gleaming in the sun; and again, of the fry which in still greater numbers wend their way downward to the sea.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“As deaths have accumulated I have begun to think of life and death as a set of balance scales. When one is young, the scale is heavily tipped toward the living. With the first death, the first consciousness of death, the counter scale begins to fall. Death by death, the scales shift weight until what was unthinkable becomes merely a matter of gravity and the fall into death becomes an easy step.”
—Alison Hawthorne Deming (b. 1946)
