Happy Breyerfest 2026!!! i was so excited to see my post from yesterday show up in the live Beyerfest feed, wow!! For today I gathered together my lovely models together from Breyerfest 2025 - Cheers to 75 Years! I got selected this year for my top two SR models - The Wanderer and Osberg!!! i can’t believe it! Have a great event everyone!

When I posted my Breyerfest 2024 group photo, these guys were all in their boxes! So here is my closing shot for Breyerfest 2024, featuring the celebration horse Athenian Lady, the Limited Editions Just Like Fire, Alan A Days Work and Gascon the Great, and the ride-along buddy Legend! Breyerfest 2026 starts tomorrow, and I am sooooo excited!!! 🐴🐴🐴

Legend from my Breyerfest 2024 order, even if he’s a regular run! He’s made on the Georg mold, which has become one of my favorites - I love a draft! 🤩 I’ll share yesterday’s article again about police animals, I thought it was very insightful and not too long.

Today’s post is a horse I bought during Breyerfest 2024, but he’s not an official Breyerfest model! This is Legend, a Kentucky Horse Park Mounted Police Horse, and he was featured pretty often during the livestream to showcase his new model. He’s an absolutely stunning horse and model! Legend is a drum horse, which is a mix of Clydesdale, Shire and Vanner, and he has medicine hat markings! But it’s hard to showcase him without also acknowledging that horses used by police are often used to exert excessive and undue violence against the general populace, especially as we saw during the anti-ICE protests last year in LA when a nonviolent protester was trampled by a police horse. Considering that the top cause of death for police K-9 units is overheating due to being forgotten in hot cars, I have to fear for the safety of equine officers as well. He’s a lovely horse, I just wish he had a better job!

Gascon the Great, freed from his box! This is my first model on the paso fino mold, he is sooo elegant! Especially his flowing tail! I’ve always been fond of the gray and white horses, but really… I’m sorta fond of all of them. 🤣 It’s a problem!

The handsome Just Like Fire from Breyerfest 2024! He’s freed from his box! His legs do have some purple on them, as you can see in the zoom ins! But not the same level of purple as the prototype had. Overall, a stunning stallion!

Okay, I know the logical next horse is Gascon the Great out of his box, but today is July 4 and fireworks are like fire right? 🤣 Anyway, here is the MIB photos for the fabulous classic decorator model Just Like Fire from Breyerfest 2024! He is themed after the mythical bird the phoenix, and his prototype has some really awesome purple legs that didn’t quite make it to production! 🔥 Have a safe and happy holiday everyone!

Breyerfest 2024 had Special Releases as well as Limited Editions, and for LEs you can buy whichever ones you like from the Breyerfest store! And I liked a lot of them that year, LOL! As well as the adorable mule Alan A Days Work, I also really liked the look of the handsome Paso Fino Gascon the Great, another handsome jumper! Tomorrow I will show him freed from his box!

Athenian Lady, the Breyerfest 2024 celebration horse! The celebration horse is the model that comes along with your ticket (unless you get the stablemate ticket!), and this year featured a really cool horse! Fun fact, some of these models glow in the dark, randomly! Sadly mine does not! 🤣

Breyerfest 2024 featured a really sweet celebration horse who truly embodied the spirit of ‘against all odds,’ because she was abused and rescued from a field with a deceased companion! 😭 And then went on to be a champion western dressage horse! I loved watching the livestream for Breyerfest that year, because her owner and the host Kimber both started tearing up talking about her journey, and she just seems like a really sweet horse. 💖 More photos of Athenian Lady tomorrow!

Alan A Days Work, the jumping Appaloosa mule! I couldn’t fit all of his photos into yesterday’s post, because I wanted to show off all of his adorable spots! My only other mule is my childhood model Sunshine, if you can believe it! They need a photo day together!

Today we continue with Breyerfest 2024, and today is a 1/2 type post! The Limited Edition horses all come in beautiful boxes, and all of the backdrops reflect the Against All Odds theme by having lots of inspirational words on them! Upside; gorgeous! Downside; the photo limit is 10 photos, 🤣 So here is Alan A Days Work in his box, a beautiful spotty mule! I couldn’t resist!!

Pausing my Breyerfest 2024 posting to bring you some beary good news! This adorable black bear mama and cub are/were on sale on Amazon for $25, so even if you miss the prime day deal, I imagine they’ll go on sale again, probably closer to Black Friday. I love the Breyer animals and I’m really excited to see this year’s bear set! 🐻

Percy the Przewalski’s horse was the plush for Breyerfest 2024! I don’t usually get the plush, simply because I’m so overrun with plush already! If I add to the pile, it’s gotta be someone really worthwhile! And a little wild horse definitely makes the cut! 🎉 I love that you can tell he’s number 1719 on his lil hoof!

Breyerfest Stablemates! Every year since the onset of the online Breyerfest, Breyer has offered a special online-only traditional model and stablemate. For 2024, that was Blue Zeus and little guy Wild Things! The chase color on this one was a very cool color-shifting swampy green, but sadly I didn’t get one! The color and pose for this guy wasn’t my favorite, so I only bought one, but he’s growing on me! Especially looking back at these photos, I realize how pretty he is with his lovely blond hair! 💖 He was hiding in one of Blue Zeus’ photos on Monday, did you catch him? 😉

Blue Zeus! Or just Zeus, LOL! I feel like he’s been called Blue Zeus in all of the online discussion, but his bag just says Zeus! Hm! Anyway, this handsome fella on the Fireheart mold was the online only limited edition at Breyerfest 2024, and they SOLD OUT! I managed to get one for myself and my friend, however Breyer announced that they would simply make more for everyone who wanted one, which was nice. What was less nice was that my orders got split up, so my first Zeus arrived in July or August, and the second one had to wait until December. My friend graciously let me take the first one that arrived, but then they announced that the late horses would also come with a pin! MAN! I wanted that pin! 🤣 Luckily they offered more for sale after the fact, so I got a pin too! 💖 Blue Zeus (who my mom misheard as ‘Blue Juice’ on the livestream, since there’s no closed captioning 🤣) is based on a real horse who lives at Skydog Sanctuary! Hence his popularity and selling out!
