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!
Bravour looks like a beautiful horse (especially in harness!) & while using Troub might have made for a prettier model, I think the Trakhener really does capture him better. I also, lol, just noticed Breyer put this mold through the smoother some time in the last few years & all his wonderful texture is gone. Ah well.
