Breyer Freedom Series National Velvet Horse and Book Set

Enid Bagnold's National Velvet, first published in 1935, is an unforgettable tale of a horse-loving girl with aspirations of jumping glory. The story follows the adventures of 14-year-old Velvet Brown, as she pursues her dreams and takes chances. When the piebald, a horse with a habit of jumping pasture fences and causing mischief, is raffled off at the village fair, Velvet becomes the new owner. Velvet and her best friend, Mi, decide to train the talented jumper and enter the grand National, England's famed steeplechase.

This set includes the 276-page paperback book and a 1:12 scale model of "the pie." The Breyer Freedom Series celebrates everything there is to love about horses, as Breyer believes horses inspire us like no other animal in the world. Every Breyer horse is hand-painted and 100% unique, with no two models exactly alike.
