To The Ties That Bind Us is a gold charm exclusive from the Breyerfest 2025 event, and one of the SR horses I was selected for! (If you aren’t aware, before the event you are asked to rank your preferences for the Special Release horses, and Breyer distributes the horses roughly according to everyone’s preferences, as much as they could!) For this year, a lot of the horses I wanted were in-person only (like YOLO, Get This Party Started, the dog!), so I picked the beautiful blue Ties because I really liked the idea of having a Wedgewood horse in my collection. Imagine my surprise when this gold charm beauty came out of the box just in time for my birthday instead! The gold is really stunning in person, and because it’s a 50-50 split run (roughly, with a very small number being silver!), a lot of people prefer the blue. But there’s no way I could trade my beauty away! I really liked the cleverness of the ‘tiny horse silhouettes outlining pinto or appaloosa patterns’ for the 75th anniversary, but it wasn’t until I saw Ties that I really connected with a design. He’s a beaut! And only my second Silver mold horse in my collection - I’ll show my other one tomorrow!
