With drastically downsizing my collection, I have scratched a lot of the goals I thought were good or fun ideas for my collecting. I have tried my best to nit pick realistic and time/money worthy new goals for the new direction I want to start on.
1.) Own at least ONE horse on every obtainable Stablemates mold. Clearly three of every (obtainable) mold was too pricey for me and too taxing on what little space I have, so I'm trying to compromise with at least one of every mold and try not to conga unless they are "must haves".

2.) Own a model from every Club except Kids Club ~ This goal still stands since I'm almost complete with it. I will have three full sets of SM Club models, two Premier Club (freebie) models, Fabio from the actual Collector Club, and then will have Prince from the Deluxe Club. I am looking for a Bravo or mini Misty and Stormy set from the Vintage Club and decided I will try to find a SM/Mini set from the Fairytale Club I like.
4 out of 5 Clubs complete.

4.) Own 200 models over all... I gave this goal up so I didn't feel pressured to impulse buy to make my collection bigger and keep it at 200 all the time because of money/space. I will not be keeping a goal of keeping a certain amount of horses over all as it was intense and my first goal should keep me fairly "updated" with large number of models already.
22 Mini Whinnies
99 Stablemates
7 Chips
5 Classics
10 Traditionals
Others ~
4 CollectiBulls
1 SM Llama
1 SM Donkey
1 SM Calf
1 SM Pig
151 models as of May 2020.

5.) Own Breyerfest Celebration horse/SR/SS/SMs - This original goal was "own a BF horse other then single day Stablemates" completed thanks to Oliver last year, but this year I'm hoping to get a Special Run (SR) with the Store Special (SS) my boyfriend is getting for me. We already paid for pickups (before BF was canceled) for the SS Cheesecake, and I'm hoping to make more money to pay for another pickup to get a Surprise Horse SR, then purchase my own tickets to get the Stablemates for this year, even though I already have Stablemates from last year and two from Gateway To India.

6.) Purchase a 2020 CC Traditional model ~ This was a goal I specifically wanted to complete in 2020 which I was fortunate to be able to complete thanks to the gorgeous Fabio on April 28, 2020
~~~~~
7.) Obtain Prince and Duke. Since I changed my Club subscription last minute I signed up for the Deluxe Club and I will be getting Prince (mini King) in the Fall. The mini Clyde, Duke, is optional for SM Club members so I'm hoping they at least made enough for one per account and he won't sell out, otherwise I might have to do some hard-core trading/selling to get him too.
