AUBURN – She has twisted little paper clips into hoof picks.

And cut the heads off toothbrushes before painting them up as grooming supplies. Bought a few key chain-size Coleman lanterns. Borrowed a toolbox from Barbie and Ken.

Nora E. Morris hasn’t overlooked a detail on her Breyer horse farm.

She has a series of stalls and paddocks on her second floor for more than 100 horses, most of them the size Barbie could ride.

Everything’s to scale. Stalls are filled with shavings with a sack of hay tacked to the wall. Paddocks have either dirt, mulch or green outdoor carpeting underfoot, er, hoof.

“I get a kick out of these every time I come up and look at them,” said Morris, 53.

She started collecting at 10, the same age she got a real horse. The plastic toys got packed away after she’d accumulated 25 or so. Then, a few years ago, she took the collection out and started adding to it. “It just kind of evolved,” Morris said.

Traditional Breyer horses have been around since 1950, according to the company’s Web site. They’re sculpted to be nine times smaller than the real thing, and they’re not as easy to find in stores as when she was a kid, Morris said.

She doesn’t consider herself crafty, despite all the work that’s gone into the project. She’s fashioned a tack room, a shavings room, a feed room with miniature burlap sacks, a pony barn, and mare and foal pasture.

There’s only one person in the complex, an old cowboy with slightly bowed legs and a towel in his upraised right hand.

“He takes care of the whole barn,” she quipped.

All her Christmas-theme Breyer horses – one comes out every year – have their own barn and paddock filled with white fluff to look like snow. That display comes downstairs every year around Christmas.

Upstairs, her setup runs the length of two rooms in an exposed crawl space about 4 feet high. It can be seen from her office and a spare room nicknamed the “Lincoln bedroom,” dedicated to her favorite president.

She’s decked the bedroom out with pictures of Abraham Lincoln, a copy of the Gettysburg address and star-spangled quilt, blanket and pillows.

“My daughter says she hopes this isn’t genetic,” laughs Morris. “She thinks I’m a little over the top. My sister has an Elvis room.”

The draft horses and the Morgan horse are probably her favorites. Morris has owned her real Morgan, Foley, for nearly 20 years. They used to show all over New England, but Foley’s retired now.

Her collection is a great topic of conversation, she said. Newcomers are always asking to see it.

Her next project: building a racing barn and racetrack, to scale, in the next room.

For that, she’s got Seabiscuit and War Admiral ready to go.
