Bamboozled

 Huh. I was really hoping Friday's sneak peek would be on the mini Georg, since they said it was a tricky one. Oh well! Check out the latest Breyerfest reveal:

Well, hello! 

I had thought we were done with Trad-size reveals, but clearly not! What a handsome guy. This also does away with the rampant speculation that Georg is the surprise model, so that's a nice bonus (still sticking with Brishen here!). I hope they offer this one in gloss, as well. And he's only available for online orders! Guess I know what I'll be doing in line on Friday morning...But anyways. From the blog:

This stunning light chestnut Rhenish Draft will be included as one of this year’s BreyerFest Limited Edition models, but will only be available for purchase online. He will not be available in person at the event, but will be available for all ticket holders to purchase on BreyerHorses.com during BreyerFest weekend and will be shipped to all buyers, whether you’re joining us in-person or online. 

Though not a portrait horse, this handsome Rhenish German Draft is inspired by the beautiful horses at the North Rhine-Westphalia State Stud in Warendorf, Germany. You can learn more about the work of the State Stud and these beautiful horses here. 

I wish his color was a little bit darker and less mealy - he looks more like a Belgian here than anything else. The horses in this photo are a nice example (bonus: the prancing one looks like a Classic Shire B!). But Breyer's promo photos are notoriously bad, so we'll have to wait and see what he looks like in person. I'm excited for more reveals - show us the Stablemate set already! Inquiring minds want to know!
