Breyerfest Day 1: YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!

 Well, readers, the first day of Breyerfest is over! And I thought I was prepared for whatever Breyer was going to throw at us - but I was woefully incorrect on that front! Well, where do I start? I spent the day at the model horse show at Alltech Arena - but no luck winning any prize models, unfortunately. Maybe next year. It was certainly exciting, and then daunting, and then terrifying as the new variations kept being announced. The surprise is Totilas? And there are at least six colors? And not all of them are glossy? And YOLO and Getting the Party Started have two variations? But Good Times and Great Friends don’t have any? Huh? And one of the YOLO variations is holographic?? Ack, I can’t take it anymore!

So anyway. The surprise model colors are as follows:

Smutty palomino (matte and glossy) 

Dapple gray (matte and glossy)

Colorshift blue/purple partial filigree (only glossy)

Blue roan (only matte)

Palomino pinto (matte and glossy)

Silver bay (matte and glossy)

Is there another color? I feel like I’m forgetting something.

As mentioned earlier, there’s no variation for Good Times and Great Friends, and also the dog whose name I’m too tired to remember and Hats Off to You. Seems odd to leave those out, but I guess that’s less to buy, so I’m kinda okay with it. Oh, and I forgot my phone at my house after the live show, so I don’t have photos of any of this! Yay! But anyway:

The variations for the Show Jumping Warmblood are a matte/glossy split, and they also have a banded version and loose mane version.

The variation for Future is Bright is the roached mane we already knew about.

The variations for Get This Party Started are a buckskin version and a significantly less common blue/purple color shift.

The variations for the Silver are a gold one and a much-less-common silver version. Silver Silver, hah!

The variations for YOLO are a sabino version and a holographic version. I’m hoping the holographic one isn’t as rare as it seems, for the sake of my own sanity.

I was a bit short on money today, so we only got a few special runs - but we did get a buckskin Getting the Party Started, which is already sold. Also got a smutty palomino surprise, Good Times and Great Friends and a sabino YOLO. Sales tonight were much improved, so I’m hoping to get a lot more SRs tomorrow! Uh, but if you’d like to help with the effort, feel free to stop by room 409 and peruse what I have for sale!

There are also variations with the online special runs - Hooplah now comes in matte and glossy, and Shindig has a blue/orange (I think) alternate color. I promptly ordered another Shindig when I heard the news, but I’m in the process of selling my Bristol’s, so I didn’t order any Hooplahs. Too bad! 

I can’t remember if I had anything else to talk about, but if so I’ll probably wake up in a cold sweat at 1AM remembering it. Guess I’ll write about it tomorrow! Time to head to bed.
