The Obsession Begins

Capitol C Ranch is the name of my Breyer (and few other assorted models) collection. 
   feel free to read that again if it didn't sink in the first time. 

This blog is basically my canvas to spew any model horse-related jargon that I want! (which is great since my family thinks I'm crazy and I only have a few real-life model horse friends) Anyways...

It all began back in 2003 (ish) for me. Relatively speaking, I'm new in the hobby. Haven't even been at this for 10 years yet. And I haven't been a "serious" collector the whole time either. I played with them. A lot. 

Mt first Breyer was the Classics #652 Buckskin Pinto Stallion, who I named Firefly. (Kind of a funny conicidence since buckskin/dun was to become my favorite horse color a few years later when Whiskey came along)

He's well-loved.

My first Traditional size horse was actually 2 horses at once, given to me for Christmas from my parents (they had no idea what they were getting in to)

Biko and the Western Prancer Vigilante (who I renamed Gondwanan Vigilante...don't ask)

Stablemates weren't as fun back then so I only had a few. Nowdays I can't get enough of the little buggers!

I focused mainly on Classics (I could afford them sooner with my allowance) and soon I had a rather large "mustang herd".  I'll go into detail about them later. 

At last count, I had 290 models. That's not very many compared to a lot of collections, but it sure fills up my shelf space!
