I was teetering on joining the Stablemates Club last year, mostly because I don't collect stablemates (although I really should because you can buy about 10 stablemates for every traditional model) but after seeing the beautiful special runs they came out with, I'm really bummed out that I didn't. Honestly the Stablemates Club was started for people like me who can't afford the $175 models from the Premier Club or the $135 models from the Vintage Club plus shipping and the $100 deposit at sign up. I don't even enter the raffles because $150-$175 for a plastic pony is just too much for my budget. My most expensive horse is Charlie and I doubt I'll ever buy another one like her. Anyways the Stablemates Club is only a $30 deposit with each model costing only $15 plus $5.95 shipping for six different models a year. The first model being produced is a beautiful glossy paint horse on the Thoroughbred Mare mold. Racehorses were what got me into Breyer horses in the first place so this one appeals to me a little more than Primrose did last year. I've decided to join this year so I'm really hoping there are some good surprises in store! They release a Gambler's Choice in which you receive a random color from several different colors, a decorator (this year's decorator is going to be a clearware) and a new mold. I saw a preview of the new sculpture for next year and I am in LOVE with it! I think it is much more detailed than this year's Django and probably looks a lot better in real life.
