Newest Breyerfest Reveals!!

There have been more reveals for the this year's Breyerfest lineup!! Let's take a look and meet them all!!

The first one that was revealed this week was the second special run.

Meet "Let the Good Times Roll"

Let the Good Times Roll is named for all the punches Breyer has rolled out over the years through the changes and going back over the good times over the years through their blog posts. From the first molds produced that were ground breaking and have become iconic, such as the fighting stallion and semi rearing mustang, the western horse and pony, and even misty and stormy. Breyer recounts the years have lead them to work with many amazing artists over the years such as Kathleen Moody, Susan Carlton Sifton, Brigitte Eberl, and more!!

Chris Hess was very prominent in Breyer's past for sculpting molds. There are many and they are still popular and used here and there for releases today.

Workers making Breyer's and ensuring their perfect for public consumption. Based off the photo quality and the way these women are dressed, I want to guess these are from the 70s.

Let the Good Times Roll is a sooty buckskin leopard appaloosa on the Show Jumping Warmblood mold!! He is also topped off with a delicious high gloss finish!! Breyer also noted that he is the loose mane and tail version of the mold, the way they pointed it out like that makes me wonder if this means he will not have a mane and tail variation split, or that he will and this is to lull us into a false sense of clarity on what to expect. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!! Anyways, I do really like him. I like his coat pattern better than most of the past versions that used this type of appaloosa coat. Also I am a sucker for sooty buckskins, hopefully most of you know that by now, but also the Show Jumping Warmblood is one of my favorite molds in terms of being in the top 10 I'd buy, collect, and conga. I also like that it lightly goes onto his face on the one side and I feel that isn't seen very often both in real life and the model world.  Plus his name is teh same as one of my favorite songs by the band, The Cars. If the releases keep being this good, it may be hard to choose what special runs I get as I can't get them all.

Second Store Special/Limited Edition has been revealed!!

Meet Halcyonia Night Life, aka "Ace"!!

Ace is owned by Emilia Quaggitto who wanted to change direction in the equine industry and she took a chance by purchasing a black Welsh Cob Section C as he had half of a blue eye (other half brown) in one photo. She usually wouldn't do so, but she had feeling about the gangly little colt was going to be special. So far, the 5 year old stallion has "aced" everything thrown at him. Ace first started out with driving and showing in-hand and once he was ready he started dressage training. As Ace's career grows, he has won top placings in Welsh breed shows in Canada & the US for in-hand, driving, and riding. He was the 2023 & 2024 USEF National Champion in Welsh Section C & D English Pleasure. In dressage, Ace has won many blue and red ribbons, scoring above 70%, Reserve Champion in the 4 year old futurity, and Reserve Champion stallion in the Open Sport Pony Breed show at the 2024 National Dressage Pony Cup.

He may be young but Ace has been proven to be very versatile. He's competed and placed in multiple disciplines against older and even bigger horses. Along with his winnings in the show ring, this young up and coming stallion also has a winning personality and temperament. Ace has been Westfalen approved and working towards other approvals as well!!

Ace's model is a handsome model in his delicious dappled black coat on the new Cantering Welsh Cob/Llywellyn mold. This is this year's second release on this mold and second portrait model, but the first as a limited edition. His model also sports his blaze, two hind socks, and half blue half brown eye on his left side!!

He is gorgeous!! Kinda surprised they are using this mold as not only is there now a regular run on it for this year, but he also was a raffle model for last year's Breyerfest. I guess he's been popular enough Breyer felt to use him again and add to the spoiling as it is their anniversary after all, plus the article was labeled as them having "an ace up our sleeves". I do want to get him as the real horse also looks very cute in person. I also love his half and half colored eye. I've only seen that in pintos, one of which had it in both eyes and it was the first time I had ever seen it. This was back when I used to take riding lessons and he was a lesson horse who at the time was slightly still in training. He was trained and safe to ride, it's just most of the lessons, especially overall beginners for little kids were western lessons and he didn't know how to neck rein yet so I rode him in a snaffle with the western bit. Anyways back to this guy, I wonder what causes the eyes two have two colors in one iris, especially since I think it only happens in horses, or that I know of. In human it's more complicated, especially the various shades of hazel. Ace will definitely be great to have in my welsh cob conga and overall collection lineup.

Again there's been mention of quantities or costs of each model. The event exclusive models page still isn't up either. Really hoping Breyer releases this soon so I can plan ahead for my VIP tickets. But anyway this is it for now till more releases are revealed so this doesn't get too long, plus this years special run posts are longer due to the more sentimental meaning and reasoning behind each model as Breyer tells their history. See y'all in the next one!!
