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!!

Breyerfest Midsummer Reveals Are Here!!

It is a new ear and with that comes the Breyerfest reveals for the year as tickets will be on sale soon, I believe by February I read somewhere but no later than March. Let's take a look at the first few, I do this so the posts are super long and make it easier to read and look at. So without further ado...

Meet the Nordic Nations Single Day Stablemates!!!!

Meet Keflavik!!!

Keflavik represents the country of Iceland. Her colors represent the fag with a glossy dappled metallic red coat with blue points and white undertones. She is on the new laying down, aka Enya, mold. She is very cute and I was wondering what they were going to do as there were many opportunities, especially due to all the countries they decided to include aside from just Sweden and maybe Norway. The flags are a very cool idea to represent them all.

Meet Helsinki!!!

Helsinki represents Finland. His coat is a glossy dappled metallic blue with white undertones with two front socks. He is on the Standing Friesian, aka Django, mold. He is very pretty and I like this blue coat a bitter better than most of the Copenhagens they've done in the past, it reminds me of the denim horses Breyer has done in the past and this could be a good coat to replicate in the future for another denim deco, especially one to represent acid wash jeans form the '80s. I would love to get him while at Breyerfest.

Meet Uppsala!!!

Uppsala represents the flag of Sweden! He is a metallic yellow and metallic blue splash pinto on the mini version of the vintage Semi-rearing Mustang mold. I really like, I think he maybe my fav out of all four with Helsinki close behind in second. Uppsala could also be a great little buddy for Gilded who is similarly colored.

Meet Copenhagen!!!

Copenhagen represents the country of Denmark, he is in a very delicious glossy metallic candy apple red sabino coat (I wish my deco Speos was this red for driving forward and more car like). He is on the Vaulting Drafter mold. I really want him for his coloration and need Breyer to do more in this red. 

We also have our first special run revealed!!

Meet Litha!!

Litha (pronounced as "Lee-tha") is an event celebrated in Germanic neopagan circles. It comes from Bede's "Reckoning of Time" in which Anglo-Saxons name June and July summers months known as "līða" (Lee-tha).

This Litha is a rich red bay tobiano pinto on the Ethereal mold. I really like him, I think this mold fits really both in name (of mold that is) and his pose. He definitely seems he would join in on the festivities and activities especially around the maypole. So far he is a must get for me.

Meet Aquavit!!

Aquavit is a distilled beverage that can be with either caraway or dill seed, along with some other botanical, it has been produced in Scandinavia since the 15th century. It Sweden it also must contain fennel. The name is derived from the Latin "aqua vitae" meaning "water of life", somewhat checks as in one point in time some alcoholic beverages were safer than water to drink, also shares the same etymology as the Gaelic word for whiskey. Aquavit is an important part of Nordic culture and can mostly be found around Christmas time and Midsummer. It's traditionally not chilled in Norway as it is meant to be savored, but in Iceland, Sweden, and Denmark it is served cold. Each distillery makes their own unique version but this causes controversy across Scandinavia as is whose is the best. 

This Aquavit is on the new Molly Mule, aka Winnifred, mold. She is in a bay dun coat. Slightly surprised they revealed the non-equine/non-horse special run this early but I will take the switch up. I do like her, so far I will add her to the list of special runs I want to get. 

Meet Thingvellir!! 

Thingvellir is the anglicized name of "Þingvellir", it is a National Park in southwest Iceland cherished for both historical and geographical significance. It, and the rest of Iceland, sit on a continental divide, one part on the North American tectonic plate and the other on the Eurasian tectonic plate. This leads to Icelands volcanic and hot spring activity. Thingvellir historically translates to "Assembly Plains" was the site of Althing, the nations parliamentary meeting from 980 until 1798 due to moving to Reykjavik (also a model from the Destination Series) in the 19th century. This general assembly is where leaders made laws, court convened, and where the free men of Iceland could gather to bring their disputes to officials. The Althing is the oldest parliament in the world.

This Thingvellir is on the vintage Man O' War mold in a grullo overo coat. I am a sucker for grullos and I do love the thoroughbred molds so he is a definitely one I need to get this Breyerfest. It looks like he also one blue eye, I'm glad Breyer is starting to do more with heterochromia, hopefully they do bicolored irises next (heterochromia iridis is the medical/scientific name).

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

November & December Newsletters!! End of Year Releases/Christmas Haul!! Top 9 Models of 2025!!

Since it's now January I need to catch up on the last two Collector Club Newsletters for last year before the one for this month and the first of the year comes out. I do feel kind of bad for not posting anything last month but there is plenty for this month coming and I am going to try to keep to regular posting in the future as long as I don't stress myself over it and keep it fun especially for myself as that was the point of starting this blog. I've been doing this for at least 2 whole years now, I don't fully count the short December posts from 2023 as that was just to test to see how this worked, but I am hoping to do this for more years to come.

November Newsletter!!

The November Collector Club newsletter covered a new workshop for members and it was for turning a barn into a gingerbread house, retailer spotlight, black Friday (there wasn't anything I wanted form it this year), wrap-up for Hoofbeats & Maple Treats, monthly giveaway was for the 12 days of Breyer calendar which I already have and forgot to finish opening, sneak peak was for the non equine lottery model.

Meet Roddick!!

Roddick is a moose in unusually coloring, his coat is a mostly piebald color. He is kinda cute but he wasn't anything I felt I really needed for my collection to enter for, congrats to those that were selected for him!!

December Newsletter!!

Reminders to sign up for the clubs if you want as the deadline was approaching, end of year warehouse sales, deadline to purchase a Merry Dancer or two closed on the 28th, behind the scenes for Premier Club artists, the giveaway was for the stallion long mane version of Premier Club release Rowan whom I already have so no need to enter for that one either, then the sneak peak!!

Not too sure what it could be, could be one of the regular run releases for the year, will have to check and compare as there isn't a lot of detail in the pic to compare to match to anything.

That's all for this post, still need to gather my top 9 models of 2025 and all other end of year models and have a separate post for those. See y'all later!!

Winter & Holiday Exclusive Models!!

So sorry this took so long, I got caught in the season changes at work and my first semester of online courses to MBA ended, second semester just started. Plus there was the holiday in-between where I just wanted to use it to not think of anything and just work on other stuff, I kinda didn't/couldn't and slightly didn't want to post on here till now. Week before Christmas I was also hit with a doozy of getting a bad cold ad having car troubles and had to get a rental and work the whole week leading up to me going home for the holidays. I did get a new laptop though and will start using it for this soon while my old laptop is mostly used for school work to a point, I also wanted time to get my new laptop set up the way I wanted it and navigate the new features it has compared to the old model I have. So without further ado, here are the new holiday models for this year, save for the traditional scale as I already covered him earlier this year.

Meet Hyperion!!!

Every year Breyer does a deco classic scale unicorn usually available in the fall leading up to the holidays. Hyperion is a metallic pink with a hint of silver on the classic/freedom scale Mandrake/Morgan Stallion mold with an added horn. He is really nice and I got him for my mom as she likes unicorns the most and her fav color is pink and for my parents weddings the colors were pink with silver and white. 

Meet Sylvan!!

Sylvan is the classic scale winter deco for this year. Sylvan's markings show deer, foxes, and other wildlife in a winter setting with a silver grey top/main coat color. As usual I did get him as I have gotten all the others, maybe one day when I can have a better display I can make a nice big winter display for them all.

Meet the 75th Anniversary Family!!

The vintage Proud Arabian Family is finally being utilized as a whole set!! The stallion on the Proud Arabian Stallion mold appears to be a bay pinto with a commemorative ribbon, the mare on the Proud Arabian Mare appears to be a palomino appaloosa and their foal on the Proud Arabian Foal appears to be a buckskin/dun appaloosa, possible pintaloosa. I did get these as I thought they were nice and I've been really liking the family sets lately.

Meet Cuddles!!

Cuddles is the yearly pony for Christmas as Breyer always does on every year. She is a chestnut pinto on the vintage but beloved Misty mold. Her blanket is a light blue/teal with snowflakes, candy canes, mistletoe, presents, gingerbread men, holly, and I believe boughs of evergreen? She is very cute, I haven't purchased her yet, but I may soon as she is still available.

Meet Merry Dancer!!

This year's Santa surprise/Christmas day type  deco model is on the Strapless mold. Earlier this year there were some leaks online from someone smuggling possible samples or official models from the factory they are made, the first two were Colby and Brooks form the TSC exclusive lineup and then later a pink deco pinto appeared and was speculated to be this release. Naturally I fell in love with the pink one first and was hoping to pull that one for my mom, but of course it's the luck of the draw and also part of me always hopes to pull a coal as well. The other colors are a minty green and a purple. I ended up pulling a purple, I later wanted to buy a second one but didn't want to risk getting a dupe and having to deal with trading at the moment. Oh well, maybe one year I'll get lucky and get a coal and I'll just have to get the pink one second hand.

Meet Short & Sweet Blind Bags!!

This year's winter deco stablemate blind bags are the Short & Sweet set! They are mini's of the candy striped Zebras from 2019, a mini coal was even included!! I wanted to get them and when they were launched I guess I took too long getting two and adding other stuff that they sold out by the time I went to check out. Past couple of years they didn't sell out and seemed to have extra stock so I was surprised these went so fast. Oh well, I'll just have to get the gold and red I wanted second hand and see if I can get lucky and get an affordable coal at some point. 

Meet Killington & mini Killington!!

This year's silver filigree release for winter is Killington and his mini me both on the vintage, well for the traditional scale one, Fighting Stallion mold. These are usually offered as a lottery release, but since last year they have just been releasing them till stock runs out instead which I guess is fine but I kind of miss the fun of the lottery but there are plenty of other lotteries throughout the year anyway. I did get these two and surprisingly they didn't sell out but at least I got them.

I also received the last of my club models, sadly I got the chestnut version of Winnifred the new molly mule for the Premier club, but at least I really like the last two releases of the Stablemate's club and my Juriaan arrived which I will try to share later. That's it for this post, more coming later, plus I still have to make my top 9 model selections for end of 2025 as I still haven't decided on those yet. See y'all in the next one!!

Hoofbeats & Maple Treats Models!!

Hoofbeats & Maple Treats event has came and went this past weekend, and with that came the reveals of the event exclusive models and in hand pics of them for a better look. Plus a sneak peak at Corgi Hill Flinka in hand especially in box!!

Lets start with the special runs, first we have...

Meet Niagra!!

Niagara is a grey arabian, turning "white", on the well loved vintage Sham mold. He is more than likely named after Niagara falls which is more located, especially where the water actually falls, in Canada but can be seen form New York.I really love him and his coloration and would love if they did more greys like this, especially arabians and thoroughbreds and the like. His coat does give me inspiration for a custom I want as I like the idea of a dark grey going white like that and want one for an OC thoroughbred I made up and want a physical representation of him. Using my extra Phish model for the body as that's what I want. So far this guy is my fav and hope to obtain him one day.

Meet Caesar!!

Caesar appears to be a dunalino, slight small chance a silver bay dun, on the Iberian version of the Brishen/Gypsy Vanner mold. From what I can find, he appears to be named after a mixed drink that has become popular in Canada, especially Western Canada. He also has blue and gold, Breyer's colors, ribbons in his mane. He is my second fav and another I hope to obtain one day.

Meet Pitter Patter!!

Pitter Patter is a black and white appaloosa, I want to say leopard appaloosa, coat on the Forever Saige/Mustang mare mold. Pitter Patter's name, from my research, seems to be inspired by the line "Pitter Patter, let's get 'er goin'" from a show called "Letterkenney" from a character named Wayne to show his impatience. At first I thought it was about the house hippos they have over there, but a popular show also works. I do like her, some have said there is a variation in her mane, she is supposed to have striping but some seem to lack it. I like the stripe version and with her being my third fav I hope to obtain that version some day.

Meet Trillium & Bunchberry!!

Trillium and Bunchberry are a mare and foal set. I believe Trillium is the mare and Bunchberry is foal, and if that's right that means Trillium appears to be a bay pinto while Bunchberry appears to be either a light bay pinto or a buckskin pinto. Trillium is a plant, sometimes referred to as: wood lilly, birthwort, birthroot, tri flower, and wakerobin. It is found in temperate regions of North America and Asia. Bunchberry is Canada's unofficial national flower, it produces red berries that are a snack to bears, chipmunks, birds, voles, and deer. Both are on the vintage Grazing Mare & Foal set, they are cute but I don't know if currently I like them enough to want them eventually one day.

Meet Queen City!!

Queen City is a flaxen chestnut pinto on the vintage Shire mold. She is more than likely named after Regina, the capitol city of Saskatchewan. Which was named after Queen Victoria and is home to the Canadian Pacific Railway. She is cute, but not overly my cup and tea and high on my want list.

Meet Poutine!!

Poutine is a bay pinto in a glossy finish on the Nikolas/German Riding Pony mold. He is named after the dish of the same name containing french fries and cheese curds topped in brown gravy. It merged into the Centre-du-Quebec region of Quebec through unknown origin in the 1950s. There are poutine celebrations in Montreal, Quebec, Drummondville, Toronto, Ottawa, New Hampshire, and Chicago. It has been named Canada's national dish, and there are variations of the recipe resulting in dumplings and sandwiches. He is nice, but again he's another one I'm not sure if he makes my most wanted list.

Meet Maple!!

Maple is this year's center piece model and is a handsomely delicious deep rich bay in a glossy coat on the Big Ben mold. Each one also comes with his own unique Halloween costume that are said to have been made by Infinity Breyers!! There's a witch, Dracula/vampire, jack-o-lantern, black widow/spider, and scarecrow inspired ones!! He is one I'd love to have one day but which costume, or should I say witch, costume to have hime come with is hard to decide as they all look great!! The spider one so far the owner has said he literally had to be strip searched by TSA and have his costume placed in a bag for separate travel. I am not sure how many of him have been made yet, will probably be announced in this year's JAH (just About Horses) edition. Also how many of each costume is also a mystery that may or may not be released as well.

In box Flinka!!

So far Flinka and her box look great!! Can't wait to see the rest of the releases and the theming of their packaging! Her's reminds me of Disney's Frozen which gives me some inspo for names as long as Breyer doesn't use them for any of the special runs or coincidentally a guest horse.


Also can't forget the main host/celebration horse and model for the event which is Legacy!!

Legacy resides at Ariel Grange's Lothlorian Farm in Ontario which is also home to his Olympic rider Danial Coyle. There was also a tour at Ballycroy Bloodstock which is home to 2016 Breeder's Cup Dirt Mile winner Tamarkuz, which all the Breeder's Cup races also happened this past weekend.

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