"The first green Breyer model actually didn’t appear until 2002! Jade, a 2002 special run produced for QVC, celebrated the Year of the Horse in the Chinese Lunar New Year. This Running Stallion was decorated to look as if he was carved from the prized gemstone of his namesake, and his decorations include the Kanji character for “horse.” Jade also has a mate, a one-of-a-kind Running Mare painted as a matching jade decorator that was sold at the BreyerFest 2005 Live Auction. A mini version of Jade was also released as part of the BreyerFest 2006 “Three Ring Circus Trio” special run Stablemates set.” www.breyerhorses.com.
