New Releases for 2026 part 2!!

This part 2 will cover the models I couldn't get to in my first post which covered all the traditional scale models, this post will cover the classic/freedom scale, stablemates, and any mini whinnies and plushies that have been revealed. 

Meet The Freedom Series!!

Out of these the champagne Mariah and the grey Arabian are my favorites of this release. May have to get them some time in the future.

Meet Candy Delights Unicorn Mare & Foal Set!!
Cotton Sprinkle and her foal Sugar Puff are a mother & foal pair and are colored like strawberry lemonade. These two are the Haflinger mare & foal molds in a delicious pink coat with yellow accents in an appaloosa coat. These two are cute and I will get them later at some point.

Meet Sapphira!!
Sapphira is a forest unicorn and is a clearware deco in a turquoise and pink color scheme. She is on the new arabian classic/freedom series mold, which Breyer seems to like to use a lot lately since its been introduced. I do like her, but again I am holding off on getting most new models to focus on other models I'd like to get at the moment.

Winner's Circle Gift Set!!
This is a doll and horse, specifically classic/freedom series, model set. The girl is Tinsley all dressed for the "Derby" and stands in the winner circle with her horse Buttercup Breeze who is on the Standing Thoroughbred mold in a bay coat with two socks and a blaze. These two are a cute set but not anything I really need or want to get at the moment.

Meet English Horse & Rider Set!!
Tess & Birdie are the new english riding set in matching pink & brown color scheme. Birdie is form the Dapples Series horse molds and has a brushable mane & tail in a chestnut appaloosa coat. They are cute and I remember when I was little pink and brown patterns like this were very popular and its nice to see it making a comeback but again nothing I want to get right away for now.

Meet Magical Unicorn & Rider Set!!
Twila & Moonstone are matching with purple and glitter. Moonstone too has a brushable mane & tail. Their cute but not only are they also not something I want to get right away but I don't think this will be a set I want to get at all, just not quite my thing.

Meet Western Horse & Rider Set!!
Nora and her pony Boots (wait a minute...nevermind it's not the time) are matching in with red ribbons. Boots also has a brushable mand & tail and is a bay with a blaze and stockings on all four legs. He's cute and I don't know if I'll get them later, I do like him a bit more than Moonstone.

Meet the new Doll & Tack Sets!!
They're kind of nice, I like the western and english sets best. I like red tack sets, especially for western sets, and the blue for the english is nice and I could more than likely find a horse in my collection that pairs well with it. But these are also put on hold for now.

Meet Pursuit of Happiness Gift Set!!
These pinto and appaloosa patterned minis are inspired by popular and famous American icons and figures and proudly feature the red, white, & blue colors of the US flag. Like Besty & Ross, they too are to celebrate the USA's semiquincentennial. Like Besty & Ross, I do like them and plan to get them right away to go with my other decos for the 4th of July. 

Meet Stablemate Assortment!!
This year's assortment contains a bay Brumby (Australian Mustang), grey Thoroughbred, buckskin Pinto Warmblood, black Friesian, chestnut Belgian Cross, and a blue roan Quarter Horse. The molds featured are the mini version of the vintage semi-rearing mustang, walking thoroughbred/mini mirored Carrick, Standing Warmblood, Django, mini Othello, and Loping Quarter Horse. Of these I like the Thoroughbred, Warmblood, and Friesian the most especially because we finally got a solid black Friesian on the Django years after years of waiting since his release and we only got Friesian Sport Horses on the mold despite him also being called Standing Friesian mold.

Meet Mountain Ranch Gift Set!!
These new gift set features horse you'd find on a mountain ranch. Theres a buckskin quarter horse on the Standing Quarter Horse mold, a blue roan on the mini Smart Chic Olena mold, a rose grey sliding Quarter Horse, and a bay pinto on the mini version of the vintage Rearing Mustang mold. I like the buckskin and rose grey most, I think I will get this one right away as usually I wait on the rest and end up forgetting and not really getting them before they retire and I don't want to do that anymore.

Meet Magic Unicorn Carriage & Foal Set!!
This one takes it back to when stablemate sets like these were released quite frequently by Breyer. This one has a pink unicorn mare on the Walking Arabian mold and the foal is in a blue coat on the Lying Foal mold. They are cute but nothing I really need.

Meet Castle Play Set!!
This new set contains a large castle for the unicorn figures to roam around in. It is made of wood and the unicorns are sold separately.. Its definitely nice for small kids but it is not something I am interested in so I don't really need it.

That's it for this post, see y'all in the next one!!

More Breyerfest Releases and Reveals!!

More Breyerfest reveals are here!! Let's take a look!!

Meet Vindur from Dalalif!!

The Icelandic is one of the purest breeds in the world, they have been isolated on the island since the Norse first settled over 1,100 years ago. They are a hardy breed that can withstand the harsh cold in winter and navigate various terrain from rocky volcanos to sandy beaches. Icelandics are known for their unique gait, the tölt, a four beat lateral gait. They can be found all over the world and have become popular, especially in the states, for their docile temperament. Icelandics have also become a popular for children and adults alike. 
Vindur from Dalalif is a silver chocolate black coat 16 year old Icelandic stallion. Vindur was bred in California and acquired by owner Lucy Nold as a 5 year old. They have since dominated the West Coast in Icelandic breed shows, his speciality is the V2 class, also known as the Open Four-Gait where horses must present the trot, canter, slow tölt, and fast tölt. Vindur was ranked the top V2 horse in the International Federation of Icelandic Horse Associations' world rankings in 2023, 2024 and third for 2025.He also held the title for highest judged domestic bred four gaited Icelandic stallion since 2018. Vindur also has an exceptional personality and is a very loving and goofy stallion. He is a star on the trails and on the beach as he never puts a hoof out of line. Vindur has also been shown by many of Lucy's younger student riders and won top placings with them, Lucy also hopes one day her daughter can take the reins on this stallion and fall in love with the Icelandic breed. 
Vindur from Dalalif is presented on the Icelandic Stallion mold and sports his chocolate black coat with flowing silver mane and tail along with his star on his forehead. I will later give an update on what his run number is along with other Breyerfest releases in a separate post.
I really like him, I'm a sucker for silver blacks and it's nice to have one featured on the Icelandic mold, plus Breyer doesn't do many Icelandics, especially not portrait ones. So with that being said, I will definitely being getting him at Breyerfest this year.

Meet Scandi Surprise!!
The surprise logo/image and name has been revealed!! Of course what mold and colors and such it will be is a surprise, this means time for predictions. My guesses/speculations will be in a separate post, but I cannot wait to see what it'll be!!

Meet Birka & Ribe!!
Considered one of Sweden's oldest towns, Birka (pronounced Beerka with a rolled "r"), was established in the year 750. It was a trading market and flourished for more than 200 years. Merchants from Scandinavia, continental Europe, and the Orient came to buy, sell, and trade goods such as furs, antlers, and walrus tusk, Chinese silk, glass, metalware, pottery, amber, and honey. In the middle of the 10th century it became abandoned for unknown reasons, but a wealth of information has been left behind along with about 3,000 graves. Ribe (pronounced Reebuh with a rolled "r"), was founded around 710, is the oldest town in Denmark. It was also a thriving market town for several hundred years. Like Birka, merchants from western Europe and as east as China came to buy, sell, and trade. Ribe was founded on the King of Denmark's orders where Birka was not. The King's mint (of coin) was in Ribe during the 11th & 12th centuries.





















This Birka & Ribe are the mare & foal set for this year. Birka the mare, is on the Lonesome Glory mold in a chestnut appaloosa coat. Her colt Ribe is on the Gilen mold in a palomino appaloosa coat and his marking on his forehead is described as hammer shaped. These two are cute and I really like the foal, i really love his shading and it reminds me of the palomino coloration on Dead Heat from Breyerfest 2018 and Lydia the TSC special that is on the Lonesome Glory mold. I will be getting these two.

Meet Pyxis av Drommarna!!
The Knabstrupper is a rare and ancient breed originating from Denmark, they were influenced by spotted Spanish horses. Their most famous coat is the leopard spotted as it is loud and colorful, Knabstruppers were bred for sports and excels in a variety of disciplines ranging from dressage, jumping, and eventing. The breed is known to have an incredible temperament and loves to please people, making them excellent mounts for for junior and amateur riders.
In the past few decades this Danish breed has made its way to the Americas. Pyxis is a 12 year old Knabstrupper stallion who is becoming well known and is passing on his calmness, athleticism, and flashy coat to his offspring. 
Pyxis is owned by Kimberly Ramirez of Shakespeare Farm LLC and he embodies the unique beauty of the breed with his docile nature and intelligence. He is the sole Knabstrupper stallion approved for life by the Canadian Warmblood Horse Association, the Knabstrupperforeningen (KNN), & the Westfalen Knabstrupper book simultaneously. Pyxis has also achieved top placings in dressage and eventing competitions. Kimberly's mission is to bring awareness to the Knabstrupper in the US and is working on expanding her breeding program to produce top sport horses. Having Pyxis join her team has been a dream come true not just eye-catching, but also by being willing, versatile, & rideable. 
Pyxis av Drommarna's model is on the Idocus mold (there goes that surprise horse guess), and sports his flashy chestnut leopard spotted appaloosa coat. He is the second limited edition/store special portrait model reveal for the year!!
I am excited that there is a Knabstrupper model in use, slightly sad its Idocus not just because I had high hopes he'd finally be the surprise but also he was used back in 2022 for another Breyerfest portrait model guest horse due to him being a warmblood plus in my experience Knabstruppers are a bit smaller of a warmblood and could've had a pony mold like bouncer work or something similar, oh well. Also slightly surprised they did not use the braided mane and tail version so he's competition ready but oh well. I do like him and do want to get him plus I don't think Breyer has done many, if any, Knabstruppers in the past and would love to add one to my collection.

Meet Hirtir!!
The Red Deer is one of the largest species of deer in the world and inhabits nearly all of western Europe, most of eastern Europe, and parts of the middle east, the Baltic region and a vey small part of northern Africa. These creatures have been depicted in cave art dating back to more than 40,000 years ago and continued to fascinate artists and storytellers through the middle ages. It is also one of the largest land dwelling mammals of Sweden and is an important part of the region's history and culture. In Norse mythology it is recorded in both the poem of Grimnismal and the story of Gylfagnning that four stags grazed upon the branches of Yggdrasil, the World Tree, & the dew collected from the branches by their antlers created the rivers of the world. Hiritr (pronounced as Heertir), is translated from Old Norse in both sources as "hart".
This Hirtir is the non-equine model for this year and is on the vintage elk mold which had it's last appearance which was also it's last Breyerfest release in 2018 as Inari. This guy does not thrill me as Inari did, also in the sneak peak I thought it was a goat as the ye and coloration looke dmore like how they've done goats in the past, especially for Breyerfest. I am surprised there are 2 non horse models for the year, usually it's just one and it either not a horse but an equid (ie mule like Aquavit, or a zebra or donkey even extinct species like the Quagga), or its not an equid at all (is this guy and Inari or even dogs, bulls, and goats of the past including bears). The VIP for this year has changed, along with the other tickets, in structure and especially even pricing, I'll go over that fully in another post but I will say if I do get VIP that will inevitably include this guy but the rest I like. I have also gotten my ticket already as they have gone for sale prior to this post, but I won't quite reveal which I got just yet.

That's all I have for this post, see y'all in the next one!!

New Releases for 2026!!

It's a new year and that means new model horses to be released!! It is also the year of the horse again as per the Chinese lunar calendar! 

Meet Yàn Wǔ!!

This year, according to the Chinese Calendar, is the year of the horse, ore specifically a fire horse (also name of a film I've been meaning to check out). Year of the Fire Horse is an event that occurs once every 60 years, a year meaning to bring independence brought forth from the intense power of the element of fire. This represents the period of extreme, fast-paced energy, driving bold action, innovation and in sme cases, potential social upheaval. Yàn Wǔ is on the Amazigh Stallion/Anamar mold in a splash metallic red and orange under tone coat with a pearly white base, gold mapping, and a Chinese character I'm assuming is either his name or represents year of the horse. It is interesting they named him Yàn Wǔ, which means smoke or smog even delay, but this type of year is referred to as Bing Wu according to the calendar. Either way I like him and plan to get him to go with my other Chinese zodiac models from the past.

Meet Betsy & Ross!!
This year is the United States semiquincentennial, meaning 250 year anniversary since declaring independence from England. This pair is named for the creator of the first iteration of the flag for the USA, which was Betsy Ross. Both are in clear wear plastic, Betsy the mare is in a blue clear wear with 13 stars for the original 13 colonies and her colt Ross is in a red clear wear featuring the stripes of the flag. They are on the Mustang Mare/Tigerlilly and Mustang Foal/Firestorm molds. I want to get this pair to go with my other Independence Day clear wear models so I can have all of them.

Meet Apollitical Jess!!
Apollitical Jess is currently the number 1 leading sire for Quarter Horse racehorses. In 2010 he was crowned the World Champion Racing American Quarter Horse shattering track records and earning a total of $1,399,831 in earnings after retiring that same year. He is in high demand as he has over $75 million in progeny earnings. Jess is a 2007 sorrel/chestnut stallion and he is portrayed on the Geronimo mold, he appears to have to some birdcatcher spots and light white ticking. I like him but I think I will wait to get him to focus on other models.

Meet Jaguel Hilton!!
Hilton is the only Criollo stallion currently standing in the United States. He originally hails from the Pampas region of South America, these athletic stock horses are the mount of choice South American "gauchos", skilled horsemen of the area. Hilton is a two time qualifier of the Freno de Oro/Freio de Ouro world finals, which is a high intensity ranch horse versatility competition. He stands stud at Gravitas Criollos since retiring. The new Criollo Stallion/Bandalero mold gets its first portrait model release, Hilton's model sports a roached mane and his dapple grey coat. He is very pretty and is another that I will wait to get after awhile.

Meet Ideal Series-Pinto!!
The next release in the Ideal Series is a bay pinto Saddlebred inspired by a horse featured in a painting the Paint Horse Association had Orren Mixer commission (Paint Horse Painting-Orren Mixer). The painting was to feature a variety of paint horse, not just stock horses as a saddlebred was included and this one appears in it. I kind of like him but I think I'll hold off on him as well as I still need to get the other two that came before him.

Meet Pluto Gratia!!
Gratia has been an ambassador for his breed and discipline, he once was a quadrille performer at the famed Temple Farms in Illinois. Gratia has found a new home at Good Luck Farm Lipizzans when Temple sadly closed its doors after 65 years. Now retired from performance he now enjoys his days as a classical dressage schoolmaster, grazing with his herd, and riding on the local trails of Colorado. Finally not only a portrait release on the Rearing Lipizzaner Stallion/Adonis mold, but it's also a white grey one too!! I'm also glad he is the non-stand version as I liked this version after being revealed at Breyerfest back in 2024, sadly I got the with stand version for that special run but at least this version is more obtainable and will look better.

Meet GG Kiss Me Kate!!
The "winningest Vanner horse in history" is Kate! She is a granddaughter of The Gypsy King who also was made into a Breyer model along with his daughter Kuchi (Kate's aunt)! Kate is a 56 time Supreme Grand Champion, 34 time National Supreme Grand Champion, and a member of her breeds Hall of Fame!! These titles have been won in hand, in harness, and under both English and Western saddles!! As a broodmare she has given birth to foals that have proven to be champions in their own right. She is on the Gypsy Vanner Mare/Rhiannon mold. I do like her rich black coat, somewhat refreshing to have a solid coat Vanner after the sea of pinto/paint ones which I do like but to show a variety is nice too. She is also on hold for me to get at a later time.

Meet Thorin!! 
Thorin is a unicorn that is a tribute to the stormy skies and the rainbows that follow after. He is a glossy shaded grey with blue and purple highlights, he has silvery hooves and horn. He is really nice and while I like the unicorns, my mom collects them the most so she will definitely get him as soon as she can to add him. It is nice to have another unicorn on this mold, especially not flocky with mohair for his mane and tail which is slightly hard to keep clean.

Meet Bear Mom & Cub Set!!
The mom and cub have been reunited and utilized once more, last time they made an appearance together were as the web special set Ursa Major & Ursa Minor in 2020 which I have, the cub was then released as part of the gummy bear set for Breyerfest 2022. Looks like Breyer is now trying to release at least one non-horse/non-equine release for the regular run lineup for every year which is fine, a change up is nice and these animal molds don't get much use outside of collector exclusive releases, Breyerfest, OOAK auction pieces, etc. I personally don't fully care for them so I don't collect them but I am happy for those that do and can continue to collect them.

Meet Fuego!!
This year's Halloween horse is Fuego!! He his on the Akhal-Teke/Altynai mold in a fiery red and orange coat with dragon outlines!! Fits this years fire horse theme well, he is also glow in the dark as usual. I've seen on social media people not like him as dragons aren't Halloween related but I beg to differ. I've seen medievalesque type of Halloween decor and I have once seen a big blow up of a skeleton dragon amongst other giant skeleton blow ups, the headless horseman being the most popular plus his horse Daredevil breathes fire too. Not to mention dragons are a bit scary, they're always depicted as fierce and can cause a lot of devastation (Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon show the realism of this), plus if they were real many would have a right to be terrified of them, so I don't see why dragons can't be apart of Halloween. Heck there are dragon Halloween costumes, especially cutesy ones like Spike from My Little Pony and wouldn't surprise me if there were ones for Dragontales (let's go to Dragonland!!) back when that was on the air and possibly ones for other popular dragons in media. SO I like him and also with the game Dispatch being released last year I may quote the character Flambae as his catchphrase is "On fuego!"

Meet Holiday Homecoming!!
This year's Christmas/Holiday model is Holiday Homecoming on the Standing Thoroughbred/Emerson mold!! Adorned with a blanket with a snaffle bit chain and holiday ornaments, he also sports a pearly white grey coat. I really like him and am glad to have another white grey/grey thoroughbred. Many don't like him especially since last year's model was also grey and many seem underwhelmed by this models looks, but to each their own.

Meet Gambit!!
Gambit is a sooty buckskin blanket appaloosa pony, he is this year's flagship dealer model!! He will come a long a little bit later on. He can only be purchased in store only but preorders maybe offered online as a first come first serve basis, so check with your retailers if they'll get him in stock and/or offer preorders for him!! He is very cute and will be on the look out for him at my local flagship locations. Gambit is on the Newsworthy mold.

That's it for this post as I don't want it too long, I will post the rest in a separate post so this will be a two part topic. See y'all in the next one!!

New Releases for 2026 part 2!!

This part 2 will cover the models I couldn't get to in my first post which covered all the traditional scale models, this post will cove...
