Thoroughbred Mare

The Thoroughbred Mare was introduced in 1973 and has the round "Breyer Molding Co." and "U.S.A." mold stamps, and some may have the "B" stamp as well. The mold was sculpted by Chris Hess and is Breyer mold #3155MA.

A symbol means that I don't yet have a picture of that model. If you can help, please see the Help Wanted section. Clicking on any photo below will open a larger version of that picture.
