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:
“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)
“In what camera do you taste
Poison, in what darkness set
Glittering scales and point
The tipping tongue?”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“For these have governed in our lives,
And see how men have warred.
The Cross, the Crown, the Scales may all
As well have been the Sword.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
