Latest Breyerfest Reveals!!

 Meet Skógafoss!!

Along the Mid Atlantic Ridge are many frequent tectonic activity. Iceland is dotted with high cliffs and deep valleys. With the glacier melts during the summer this creates the perfect environment for waterfalls across the country. Along the Ring Road in the south of Iceland there are many of these Waterfalls, which are fed by the glacier called Eyjafjallajökull. Along this route is the waterfall Skógafoss, it is 197 feet tall and stretches 82 feet in width. While impressive from the ground, visitors can also climb 527 steps up a hill to a platform for a more impressive view from the top of the falls. 

This Skógafoss is this year's crystal model. He is an Icelandic stallion that stands at 5", the mold appears to be similar, if not the same as the Porcelain Icelandic Stallion that was released in 1992 as a buckskin pinto, if so it's good to see this mold and others from that era be used again (defiant was another porcelain turned crystal horse that was utilized after sometime). Hopefully we will see more in the future and lead to even more releases. I will be getting him, or rather I should say my mom will as she collects and likes the crystal horses the most.

Meet Dalarna!!

Dalarna is a region in central Sweden, in the 17th century it made a name for itself by making the finest wooden equines, thus the Dala Horse was born. They were carved by woodworkers and loggers as gifts for their children. These bright colored horses became a symbol Sweden and were soon found all over the region in markets. They gained global attention in 1939 at the World's Fair in New York. Sweden then started mass producing the figures. Nusnäs, Sweden continues to mass produce Dala Horses today at the Nils Olsson Dalahästar factory where they still use traditional painting and carving methods. 

This Dalarna Dala Horse features the iconic bright red coat with floral designs and tack. This art style is called Kurbits and is specific to Sweden. He is on the Standing Thoroughbred mold and is this year's deco classic scale/freedom series limited edition/store special model! I had a feeling they were going to do a Dala horse this year, I mean how could they not. Though at the start I wasn't sure if it would be the deco classic or maybe a plush or stablemate instead. Either way I am glad they done one for one of the releases anyways. I will be getting him, he will go with my Dala collection as this past Christmas my parents gave me some Dala horse related items as part of my stocking stuffers. 

Meet Blóm!!

Flowers are seen n much of the midsummer decor for the celebrations, the maypole being one, and flower crowns could be seen being worn as well. Blóm is this year's plushy and she has her very own flower crown!! She's a very cute little pinto and I will be getting her, I also ordered a flower crown too form the local flower shop Breyer partnered with to make crowns for the occasion, there are/were three variations and are/were limited. I already since ordered the one I liked and my mom ordered one she liked as well. 

Meet Best of Breyerfest Series 7!!

Meet Anderstorp!!

Anderstorp is located in Sweden and is known famously as the Formula 1 track. This Anderstorp is on the Hanoverian stablemate mold, he was inspired by Monaco who was the 2008 Open Model Horse Overall Champion prize. Monaco also has Formula 1 fame.

Meet Faroe!!

Faroe is a group of rugged islands in the north Atlantic between Iceland and Norway. This Faroe is on the Mirado mold, he is inspired by Capri the early bird raffle model from Breyerfest 2008.

Meet Stjärna!!

Stjärna is the Swedish word for "star". This Stjärna is on the Kit/Haflinger mold and is a mini of the 2008 Festival of Champions Contest Prize Model, Seren, which also means star in Welsh. 

Meet Kattegat!!

Kattegat is the sea that Separates Denmark from southwestern Sweden. This Kattegat is on the Cantering Morgan mold and is inspired by the 2008 Open Model Horse Show Reserve Champion Model Calabria, whom is named after region in the southernmost region of Italy.

Meet Støvel!!

Støvel means "boots" in several Nordic languages. Støvel is on the mini version of the vintage Indian Pony mold and is based on Totsi, which is the Hopi word for moccasins, the 2008 Volunteer model.

This Best of Breyerfest set is all based off models from the 2008 Breyerfest. I do like them all and will get the set, especially to keep the series going as I have all the other releases. 

That is all I have for this post for now as I don't want it to get too long since the Best of Breyerfest series took up the most space. See y'all in the next one!!

Even More Breyerfest Reveals & Releases!!

We have even more that has been revealed!!

Meet Oseburg!!

The medieval Scandinavian longship was an engineering masterpiece of its age, used for centuries by the Norse for fishing, trading, and raiding. Contributions of fiber artists cannot be understated as a single 1,000 square foot sail took hundreds of hours of labor by multiple people. Flax or wool was harvested, spun, and woven and then treated with animal fat to become water resistant. Longships were a months long process to build, they were a prized possession those that were an incredibly important individual were able to be buried with one by a community. The Oseburg ship burial is one of few of burial mounds discovered and uncovered form the middle ages. Burial was around 834 and was excavated in 1904 and 1905 and has been researched heavily the last 120 years. The burial was found to have an extensive amount of grave goods including sleighs, a cart, bedposts, chests, household goods, and tools. There was also found the remains of animals such as horses, an ox, and dogs alongside richly dressed women of stature all in the 70 foot hull. 

This Oseburg is done on the popular Othello mold in a dark seal bay to match the dark finish of longships with a strip of white for a snip on his snout. Othello made his last Breyerfest appearance in 2023 as the store special/limited edition model Tilly and was last used as a Breyerfest special run back in 2020 as Ash. When he was first revealed many noticed that the article stated his coat was in a glossy finish despite the stock photos showing otherwise leading to many to speculate he is the matte/glossy finish split, that statement has since removed from the post but many have missed where a couple of times the post refers to this model as a she which there is a female version from 2023 when used for FVA's Grand Design aka "Tilly", but again the stock photos suggest otherwise. This now makes me wonder if some will be female and some male, whether intentional or not, on top of possible coat finish split. I guess we will have to wait and see. Though in any case I do like him and it's nice to see this model in a deep coat and reminds me of the Budweiser clydesdales despite those being a brighter bay and having to have lots of white on their body. SO he is one that I do really want to get, plus I really like the mold as well.

Meet Ojvind!!

The Gotland Pony originates from the island of Gotland off the coast of Sweden dating back to 1200 BCE. This is one of Sweden's oldest and rarest breeds and is managed by the Gotland Agricultural Society and still roam the Lojsta moor. They have adapted over time to the thin, sandy soil and limestone bedrock of the island and historically have been used for farm and agricultural work as well as road horses as they have great stamina and a great trotting ability. Today the Gotland is a popular amongst children and excels in harness racing, jumping, dressage, pleasure riding, and driving. 

Most Gotland ponies live in Sweden, but there is a small herd in Kentucky with a special stallion to bring awareness to the breed as well as help preserve it. Ojvind (pronounced as œyvind) is a 7 year old Gotland stallion who is passing on key genetics to help the breed flourish in both the U.S. and in Sweden. Gotland ponies were first imported to the U.S. in the 1950s, in 1989 Leslie Bebensee bought the last the last breeding herd and brought them to her Farm, Kokovoko Farm in Kentucky. These sweet athletic ponies won her heart and her focus turned to preserving the Gotland in the U.S. In 2020, Leslie received an email that her herd contained bloodlines that had been lost in Sweden, this lead to a trade for a stallion form the old bloodline sin Sweden in exchange for four colts out of her mares. The little stallion that came all the way from Sweden was Ojvind!!

Within 11 months of his arrival, he had his first foal on the ground. Aside from passing on old genetics, he also passes on his sweet temperament, athleticism, and loyal personality to each of his offspring. Ojvind was trained for both riding and driving and has taken everything in stride, proving how smart and easily trainable the Gotland is. He has also come to represent his breed at Breyerfest for the past three years as part of Kokovoko's demonstrations.

Leslie loves to educate people about the Gotland breed and knows how important awareness is for the preservation of this breed. Ojvind's arrival has created new partnerships between the U.S. and Sweden to ensure the growth of the breed for future generations.

Ojvind is depicted on the new Highland Pony Stallion mold. It features his wild bay coat in a matte finish. This is the first portrait and Breyerfest release for this mold, the other version, the British Riding Pony mare with braided mane & tail, has yet to make an appearance.

He is cute and Breyer hasn't done a Gotland at all to my knowledge, I think the only Gotlands I have are the ones in Star Stable. So I will definitely be adding him to my herd.

Meet Midnattssol!!

There is a place where the sun doesn't fully set during the summer, the evening hours blend with the early morning then the sun rises once again for the new day. In the northeast parts of Scandinavia, as well as Iceland & Greenland, there is sunlight for 24 hours a day for the summer solstice. This phenomena lead to the region being called "the land of the midnight sun". This can be seen in Reykjavik at Arnarholl Park in Iceland, seems like Breyer really likes this place, I guess I'll have to check it out in real life at some point in my life.

Midnattssol means "midnight sun" in Norwegian. He is on the new Murgese Stallion, aka Cosimo, mold. He is in a dark bay sabino-frame coat and has blue eyes. I do like him and I do like the mold since he came out last year, I feel he could double as another latin country based breed like a Criollo, but I could be wrong. So I will be getting him.

The final special run has been revealed!!

Meet Wanderer!!

In Norse mythology, Odin is the most well known and represented. Archaeologists have found many artifacts made in his image in burial grounds, old settlements, and all have been pieced together tracing the lives and cultures of Germanic pagan peoples dating back to the Roman occupation of the 1st century. Odin is also the most well known even to those who don't fully know the mythology, he is mentioned in countless sources that date back 2,000 years. He has also been given many nicknames during this time. They all describe him as fierce, wise, father, husband, son, brother, blind, grey haired, deceiving, spear wielding, hooded, hanged, oracle, walk weary, and many more. The wanderer is depicted as a cloaked one eyed old man, with a beard and his spear Gungnir and accompanied by two ravens, Hugin and Munin. A wise old man that can see between worlds and time and having sacrificed one of his eyes to Mimir's well to gain wisdom of the runes.

This Wanderer is on the popular Fireheart/Mustang Stallion mold in a deep blueish purple coat with a spear like shaped stripe on his face, a magical looking right eye, and two raven feathers added to his mane. I do like the mold and I do feel its being over used but I will get him as I like the deeper blue color, reminds me of my Na'vi character I made in a game as my character has the western Na'vi coloration which is blueish purple compared to other Na'vi, and I like the addition of the feathers as I can see that adding potential for future releases. I am also curious about his supposed magical eye and want to see that inperson, also I could use a complete conga of this mold as long as they keep releasing models on this mold.

That's all I have for this post, 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 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!!
