Everyone, I need your help now more than ever. I usually have several Breyer horses for sale on my eBay page but this time I have listed a few of my more rare models that I'd normally not find a home for listed, however it is for a good cause. This guy, whom we've already dubbed "Bruno" is a Friesian/Percheron cross from a local farm that a friend of mine had notified me about. His owners fell on hard times and can't afford to feed him. He is going to be sent to the kill pen February 3rd if they can't find him a home before then. His bail was originally $700 but it was lowered to $500 to avoid - hopefully - being shipped out for slaughter. I really want to help him. We have an extra stall in our barn right now and he'd fit right in with the three others that we currently have. With proper care, he might even be a future dressage prospect. However, I don't have the funds currently to purchase him outright, which is why I'm relying on my eBay sales to hopefully be able to bring him home. Don't have an eBay account? No problem! I also have them listed here on my website and on Model Horse Sales Pages, although you'd still need a Paypal account. Please stop by to see my sales. Any and all help is appreciated. I will continue to update this post. Update 01/24/18: Thanks to recent eBay sales and a private donor, we are about $150 closer to our goal of bringing home this bay beauty. You guys are truly awesome! Keep up the good work and we'll have this boy home in no time! Update 01/29/18: Guys, I don't think we're going to make it. We made $20 in Breyer sales this past week but we still need $330 if we are to save Bruno's life. I have updated my website under "My Breyer Collection" with pictures of the horses I currently have for sale. All are in great condition unless noted (I'm VERY picky when it comes to my models) so if you see anything you like feel free to contact me so we can bring Bruno home! He deserves it! Update 02/02/18: WE MADE IT!!! I honestly didn't think we would but thanks to our wonderful buyers we did it! We now have enough to buy Bruno! We have talked to the owners and are in the process of bringing him home. Hopefully we'll have him here by Monday. Thank you so much for the help of our followers! We wouldn't have been able to do it with you :-) Update 02/07/18: Bruno is home! I really appreciate everyone who helped make this dream possible. We are working closely with our veterinarian and farrier. I'm still keeping a few Breyers for sale on eBay to help with those costs. Hopefully with weight builder and training we'll get him back into riding shape within a few months. In the meantime he is enjoying his new life here and seems to be settling in well.
