Another Breyerfest store special!

Wow, it looks like this year's Breyerfest is going to be one for the ages! Check out today's blog post!

According to the blog, one of this year's seminars is going to be a panel discussion about women in horse racing, featuring Donna Brothers and Rosie Napravnik, among others (presumably). Not only that, but Donna Brothers will be doing her horseback interviews (eyeroll) in the Covered Arena on Friday and Saturday, and Rosie will ride her racehorse-turned eventer Old Ironsides during breed demonstrations on Saturday. Speaking of Old Ironsides...he's getting his own store special model! Behold:



Wow, that color looks nice on Strapless! It's very similar to last year's Jacy, actually. Nothing I need to buy, fortunately, but I bet this one will be hard to get your hands on in the store! She's pretty!

That's about all I have for today, except I'm really hoping we get a web special this weekend, since it's now February and that's when last year's first web special showed up. The anticipation is killing me! And we'll probably get the first Stablemate Club horse of the year next week, too. Exciting!

Breyerfest 2018 tickets are now available!

Exciting news, everyone! Tickets to Breyerfest 2018 are officially on sale, and we have official photos of the Celebration Model Brass Hat, along with a couple of other reveals!



Ooh, I like the Brass Hat model more every time I see him. He'll make an excellent addition to the Carricks, although I hope they put a little more effort into his production than they did with Nazruddin last year. He's shiny without being glossy, as far as I can tell. Which means Glossy Brass Hat will likely be the prize for the costume contest! Must think of an entertaining entry...

We also know the early bird model - Riddle!




Undoubtedly named after Samuel D. Riddle, owner of Man o' War, War Admiral and others in his Thoroughbred breeding operation. The model is a really nice color, at least, but the only other thing I really have to say about it is...at least they got this mold out of the way early, and I don't have to be disappointed if I don't get drawn for the early bird!

Lastly for the reveals, we have a store special - Icabad Crane!




There's a blurb about him on the Guest Horses page, but it's not surprising at all that they're bringing at least one other former racehorse to Breyerfest! His model is on True North, so I don't need to buy one, fortunately. The color looks good on him, though!

Speaking of guest horses, two of them are real horses behind this year's new portrait models! EZ to Spot and Empres are both listed as guests, along with Foiled Again and Lil' Ricky Rocker (who will be on the guest horse list until the day he dies, presumably).

Exciting stuff! I hope more gets announced soon, though this time of year does tend to be dreary and dull. Maybe Breyer will be a little more generous doling out the tidbits this year? I hope so.
