Sidewinder, and other stuff!

 Finally! If you're a Stablemates club member, Sidewinder is in stock and ready to ship! Check him out (again)! 

Nothing I need, but I've managed to sell mine already, so there's that. He's a pretty color, but I was never a SCO fan to start with, and then that too-short front leg...nah. 

In other news, the diorama contest prizes have been announced... and it's the glossy Bravour 54! 

I'm a bit sad that the diorama contest prize, which used to be its own model, is apparently a thing of the past, and they're replacing it with glossy celebration models instead. Like...why? They use(d) older, less-popular molds, for the most part, so...yeah, some confusion there. Oh well. 

Lastly, Washington and the Carltonlima Emma reissue are now available on Breyer's site! They can be found on Breyer's new releases page, so order away if you're so inclined! 

We have a 2023 Celebration Horse!

 Greetings, readers! Exciting news today - the 2023 Breyerfest Celebration Horse (and Model) have been announced! Say hello to Bravour 54! 

From the blog:

The Celebration Horse for 2023’s BreyerFest celebration of Driving Forward is a true leader and the perfect combination of beauty and intelligence, with just enough fiery temperament to make him a standout driving horse!

The triathlon of the driving world, Combined Driving tests the control, agility, obedience, and endurance of horses and drivers over three phases of competition – Dressage, Marathon, and Cones. International driver Misdee Wrigley Miller ended up finding the perfect addition to her four-in-hand team in KWPN gelding Bravour 54.

 

He's definitely a looker! When it comes to the choice of mold, though...well, all I'm really going to say is there are going to be a LOT of people reselling them next year. But the owners are happy with it, and that's all that really matters, right? I wouldn't have picked the Trakehner myself (my choice probably would be Troubadour, though he isn't quite the best match for the horse), but them's the breaks, I guess. I hope we get to see more Breyerfest stuff soon!
