Vail

Every year Breyer release a new decorator model as a Christmas special run for Club Members. This model is a web special and only available to Collector's Club members.

He will be priced at $185 and is limited to 1,000 pieces.

To get him you will need to login to your Collector's Club account at www.breyerhorses.com 

Once you are logged in then you need to go to the 'Club Home' and click on the image of Vail. You can then use the signup form to enter for him.

Those who are lucky enough to get him will receive an email to notify them after the deadline of the 9th of November 2023.

Vail is a dark blue filigree on the Totilas mould

I am not a fan of the Totilas mould at all but I adore this colour. I still haven't got a model in this colourway but I do think there are nicer options that this one. Also I am trying very hard to avoid any more plastic disk models because I'm down to like one disk and they can't all share!

Catching up on Auction Models

Two weeks of flu and some other stuff going on over the last week that has seriously knocked me have meant that I haven't really been up to date with Blog posts or model horses or anything other than crying under a duvet with my squishmallows. So I am now working through and catching up with sharing everything that I have missed over the last few weeks, there will be a report on Hen Party Live at some point (preferably before the next two live shows) and also some BreyerFest updates :)

But we are going to start with the two Auction models that have been released for this year's BreyerFest so far.

First up we have my favourite, this gorgeous black leopard spotted Ashquar:

Second we have a stunning colour on this Pacer, not a fan of the mould but the colour is to die for!

Third we have another gorgeous colour but not a favourite mould of mine. A chestnut rabicano on the Justadream mould

Fourth is this very unusual Huckleberry Bey

And fifth we have a stunning chestnut sabino on the Morgan mould. This colour is just *chef's kiss*

2023 Collector's Club Appreciation

The 2023 Breyer Collector's Club Appreciation will launch today (June 1st) at 1:00PM EST (this is 6pm BST).

For those who are new to the Collector's Club appreciation basically it is a special glossy model (it wasn't always a glossy but it now is) that you get if you spend over $150 on regular line products and use the code CCLUBAPP23 at checkout. It's really important that you use both the code and also buy over $150 of regular run products (it can be a bit hit and miss to work out what these are, some things that seem like they are aren't and some things that seem like they aren't are)!

You need to be a Collector's Club member to take part so if you don't already have membership head on over to breyerhorses.com in order to sign up!

What are your predictions for the glossy models this year? I want a glossy Vivaldi de Besilu because I LOVE GLOSSY BAYS!

Good luck and make sure to let me know what you all get :D

Stanhope

 Stanhope is the BreyerFest 2023 Open Model Horse Show Overall Reserve Champion prize.

He is a gorgeous liver chestnut sabino on the Big Ben mould. I love the colour, even if the mould is a bit meh

Luna

 There is a new adorable plushie available from Breyer USA and she is just the sweetest little thing.

She reminds me of Galarian Ponyta and Rapidash with the colours in her mane. She also has cute little stars on her side. Overall 10/10 CUTE

She is $9.99 and available on the Breyer USA website now

Truffles and Bon Bon

 Please excuse me whilst I die of cuteness!

The mother's day plushies from Breyer are THE CUTEST THING EVER I NEED THE FOAL NOW PLEASE THANK YOU

Now available from the Breyer USA website

Shelby

 Personally I'm really disappointed that the April Fool's wasn't real and he doesn't have a hogged mane, he looked so beautiful with it!

But alas he does not

Shelby is the latest Collector's Club special run. He is a gambler's choice model with three available colours and will be available later in the month

Which is your favourite? Mine is definitely the glossy bay (no surprises here)!

Two More BreyerFest Sneak Peaks

 Breyer have released two more sneak peaks for BreyerFest

First up we have this spotty thing:

Is ginger and has spots

Second we have MORE GINGER

Although this ginger could definitely be a light bay

Which moulds do you think they are? Let me know in the comments below!

Big Ben Test Run

 The colour on this guy is just incredible! I love a buckskin and this one is just so unique and beautiful, imagine this colour on an actually nice mould.

If you like hi you can enter for him at www.breyerhorses.com if you are selected he will cost $1500

Magpie

 Magpie is the second release in the Breyer Birds of a Feather Collector's Club series.

He is a gorgeous glossy black pinto on the Show Jumping Warmblood mould.

I just love how shiny he is!

Of course having my own little Magpie I just had to enter for him

My little Magpie was most pleased because I was picked for the Magpie horse! Thankfully PayPal pay in three exists so I was able to get him. He's the first one I've had in several years so I'm super excited to have been chosen an to have my own little Magpie horse :D

Gonna make Magpie unbox him when he arrives

Buggy

 This is another BF model that I forgot to Blog about so I'm just catching up on

Buggy is a limited edition model that is available to online ticket holders only. That means that you will have to purchase him online from Breyer during the BreyerFest weekend

He is a glossy bay blanket spotted on the Django mould and is absolutely beautiful. I love the roany spotted colour that Breyer do, especially when it is glossy!
