Our "American Girl" of horses, each novel in the Breyer Horse Collection--based on Breyer Animal Creations' top-selling horse breeds--tells a compelling story that captures the true essence and personality of each horse. And now, for the first time, we have a historical novel. Annie Wedekind takes us back to Europe in World War II--a time and place that tested the courage of the noble Lipizzaner horses.

In 1930's Austria, life for Favory Mercurio, a Lipizzaner stallion bearing the crest of the renowned Piber stud, begins with his mother's abandonment. From that moment on, the young horse feels different, as if he has a missing piece-- even though, despite his doubters, he has talent enough to be accepted into the famed Spanish Riding School.

Slowly, but doggedly, Mercury perseveres through the rigors of his years of training. But then, as the war bears down on Vienna and the school is forced to flee two advancing armies, his beloved trainer and rider, Max, with whom he has formed a true bond, is suddenly gone, and Mercury is abandoned once more. Will he have the chance to become one of the great Lipizzaner stallions, or will he lose the people, horses, and home that he loves?

Absolute LIFESAVER.
Color: Black
A must-buy for any puppy owner that uses potty pads. Our pup still hasn't had all of her parvo boosters and has had to stay inside at all times. She is usually very good about going on her potty pads, but has a terrible habit of grabbing the pad and flinging waste everywhere and tearing the pad itself apart. This potty pad holder is PERFECT. It is sturdy and the grated tray fits in neatly. The dog is unable to get to the puppy pad, no matter how hard she bites or paws at the sides. Believe me, I've seen her try. We bought other puppy pad holders that were cheaper, but she was able to rip the puppy pad out of them easily. It is also really easy to clean. The plastic can easily be washed with soap and water or sprayed and wiped with antibacterial spray. The potty pad itself usually soaks up all of the urine, so there is never any worry of overflow. The only critique I have is that the rectangular shape is somewhat a poor design, because most potty pads are square-shaped. This means that the owner has to fold a standard potty pad in order to fit the tray. But this is not a huge problem, as we're still very happy with the product. Overall, it's worth the money, because now I don't have to worry about cleaning a huge mess, disciplining my pup for the behavior, or any health scares from her eating plastic from the potty pads. We loved the first one so much, that we bought a second one.

Perfect for what we need!
Color: Black
Love this. We have to leave our puppy home alone while we are at work. She’s tiny so I know she can’t hold it in the entire time we’re gone and I knew she would tear up the puppy pads. I came across this and it has been a game changer. She goes right on and does her business. One negative is when she only puts her front paws on and pees while half on the floor but that’s a quirk of the dog. The main negative is that if she poops, it’s sometimes hard to get it up and it gets in the holes. Plus is it’s easy to take apart and hose off. Definitely recommend!

Nice only if it's not warped
Color: Black
I bought three of these, and two are perfectly normal. One is warped like so many other reviewers say, and it is the bane of my existence. The top will not stay on, and when my dog tries to stand on it, it wobbles all over the place. Right now, we have it taped and bungee corded, and it looks ridiculous. I wish I would have returned it when I had the chance, and I really don't want to pay $40 for another, because that's a lot for a piece of plastic. Four stars for the normal ones, but dropping to three star rating because of the terrible quality control.

Life changing, $$$ saving!!
Color: Black
This tray changed everything for us. We have a WILD 6 month old pug. He is crate trained, but shredded puppy pads. Some days I went through 3 or 4 pads a day! Expensive, frustrating, bad for the dog's health. It took him a day to understand the tray, now he uses it 98% of the time-- he is not locked in the cage. I love this tray, and will buy another for upstairs when our pup is allowed to roam that far. The tray is easy to change, easy to wipe down and clean. Plus the pad can get fully wet before changing, not a little spot here and there, so 1 pad a day, not 4 shredded ones.
