Breyer Horse Classics: Pet Groomer Set

Taking care of your animals is the most important task of ownership and one of the biggest tasks is keeping your animal groomed and clean. Golden Oak Stables brings you a new Classics gift set that brings together the fun of pet ownership together with the love of Breyer horses to make a set that’s bound to provide hours upon hours of fun for any animal lover!

Pet grooming is a task we all take on when we get an animal of any kind. Some animals require less work than others, but most cats, dogs and of course horses, need care to keep them clean and healthy. Cats normally need a brushing on a regular basis, Dogs also need a bath from time to time, but horses require a little more work. Horses require daily grooming to keep them healthy in most cases.

Breyer has created a set, new for 2014, that helps you take care of all of your Breyer animals. The Pet Groomer Set is a fun set filled with animals and fun! The set starts off with a lovely and lively Corgi dog who’s bright coat shines! His companion is a Siamese cat that’s stretching herself out as she relaxes. They are both joined by a palomino pony foal that trots happily. Their companion is a beautiful brunette rider doll that’s ready with a bottle of pet shampoo, a bucket and a feeding trough to keep them all clean and taken care of!

The responsibilities of pet ownership can sometimes be a little overwhelming, but this fun set reminds us of the joy that our animals bring us. Big or small, feline, canine or equine, animals all bring something special to our lives!

Foaling season is always exciting on the farm and new foals are always a reason to celebrate! For Thoroughbreds, January 1st always marks their official birthday, but it’s only the start of foaling season.

Within a year, a horse will be ready to start some light training and by 3 he will be ready to start his training as a riding horse.

Breyer brings a set to collectors that brings the joy of a new foal right to your barn, and just in time for all of those new foals on the way! The New Arrival At The Barn set includes two beautiful classic horses, a warmblood mare and her new spunky foal. The foal bears a resemblance to his mother’s striking red chestnut coat and has a bold blaze on his face. He comes with a blanket to keep him warm while it’s still chilly out so he can scamper in the pasture as his mother watches near. Also included is all you need to take care of a new foal, a shovel and fork for stall cleaning will keep the foal comfortable and healthy. A bucket and trough are also included to keep the new arrival, and his mother full and happy. There’s also fencing to make a pasture for your mare and foal, giving them plenty of room for play. Last but certainly not least, is a rider to keep a watchful eye on the new mother and foal.

Breyer Horse New Releases: Colorful Blanket Assortment

Chances are, it’s pretty chilly where you are right now. Snow has been falling and cold temperatures have made their way in to stay, at least for a few months. But what about your equine friends? How are they dealing with the chilly temperatures?

Real horses are hardy animals that can weather the elements pretty well, but even then, some of them need a little bit of help when it gets very cold outside. It’s an important part of horse ownership to know when to blanket a horse and when they can take care of themselves. Blanketing a horse when it’s too warm outside can cause them to sweat  which can sometimes lead to illness. If a horse is let out when it’s too cold without proper covering, they can become very sick too! It’s important for owners to learn about their horses and what their horses needs are to keep them at the peak of health and comfortable!

Breyer horses are a little easier to take care of, but you still want to think about blanketing your Breyers for fun and realism. Golden Oak Stables brings you a set of four new blankets for 2014 that are flashy, bold and beautiful! The Blanket Assortment is a fun way to spruce up your stable and keep your horses not only warm, but protect them. Blankets can be a fun way to keep dust off of your horses or to keep them from rubbing when they get bumped against one another. Just like real horses, our Breyers sometimes do better with a blanket on them too!

If you’re ready to warm up this winter, bring a little bit of bright and bold fun into your stable and keep your horses warm and protected in style! You’re sure to welcome spring in with patterns this beautiful and bright!
