BreyerFest Auction Models

We haven't seen all of the auction models this year yet as some won't be revealed until BreyerFest but here is a run down of the ones that have been announced in advance

Lot #1 - Chestnut Overo Smart Chic Olena


I really like the pattern on this one, it is a really lovely colour with lots of detail and so dramatic

Lot #4 - Black Blanket Spotted Cantering Welsh Pony


This is one of my favourites, I love the colour on her and I do have a little bit of a soft spot for the CWP

Lot #5 - Roan Valegro


A nice colour on this model although would maybe like a little bit more depth to the coat

Lot #6 - Perlino Pinto Lady Phase


A really unusual colour and who doesn't love a good LP? Although I will always prefer the swishy tail variation

Lot #7 - Bay Pinto Family Arab Stallion


I am not a FAS fan but the colour is nice, not one for me though

Lot #9 - Black Sabino Goffert


What in the UK would traditionally be called blagdon this is a proper traditional cob colour for this mould which is nice

Lot #11 - Dun Sabino Geronimo


A really dramatic colour choice! Although he looks a bit like he has some sort of skin condition, which is kinda fun in a weird way

Lot #12 - Silver Bay Susecion & Le Fire


Nice colour on the mare but the foal looks incredibly similar to the Colour Crazy foals

Lot #13 - Buckskin Pinto Western Prancing Horse


I really love the colour on this guy and the sky blue matches it so perfectly. One of my favourites.

Lot #15 - Black Pinto Clock Horse


Whilst I like the colour on this guy he does remind me a lot of the regular run release, but it's still a very fun pattern

Lot #16 - Palomino Pinto Roxy


I like the mould and its a nice colour but at this point am I the only one whose getting a bit sick of all the pintos? Let's have a bit of variety!

Lot #17 - Blue Pinto Semi-Rearing Mustang


Another pinto! Well at least this one is blue? It's a very nice shade of blue.

Lot #19 - Silver Dapple Croi


A nice colour (and not pinto) but very similar to the 2024 one, just a grey not a bay

Lot #20 - Buckskin Criollo


This one is my absolute favourite, he would be perfect for a polo performance set up. My only criticism is that the mane is plaited rather than him having a hog which is what you'd expect for a polo pony. If they'd done a full hog including the forelock he would be perfect

Lot #22 - Pegasus Silver


Silver pegasuses are always popular and this is a really cool dramatic colour. He's apparently inspired by a Knob-Billed Duck and I'm definitely immature enough to find that funny.

Which is your favourite so far? I do feel like they have overdone the pintos a bit but it will be interesting to see what the missing ones are come BreyerFest

New Collection Pieces

 So this post should have been just four horses but as I was cataloguing them I realised that I hadn't catalogued all the models I photographed at the end of last year and put away when we made the new cabinets and move the horses out of the pony room. So I ended up spending several hours cataloguing horses and thought I might as well share all of them with you :)

There were a total of 32 models that needed doing, so enjoy seeing 32 new members of my collection.


CRS Don't Cry For Me Argentina (Buenos Aires) - Breyer Collector's Club Special Run Buenos Aires


CRS Flash Dreams (Christmas in Bloom) - Breyer 2025 Christmas Horse 'Christmas in Bloom'


CRS Perdita (Manaos) - Breyer Manaos

It was this model that made me realise that I hadn't catalogued the models! I was sat there thinking, shouldn't there be another Polo Pony that's not too far off the end of the list?


CRS Arachnophobia (Arachne) - Breyer 2025 Halloween Horse Arachne


CRS Leaps and Bounds (Leopold) - Reaper Medallion, sculpted by Rayvin Maddock and painted by Unknown Artist


CRS Swadloon - Breyer Wild and Free Set Foal


CRS Helios 522 (Helios) - Breyer Stablemate Club Helios


CRS Breakneck Blitz (Blitz) - Breyer Mystery Horse Surprise - Series 7


CRS Rustboro Thriller (Thriller) - Breyer Halloween Surprise 'Thriller'

This was actually my second one, my original one was the Alborozo but it arrived damaged and my replacement was this guy


CRS Cornn Berry (Cornn) - Breyer Mystery Horse Surprise Series 7


CRS Pineco (Pineco) - Breyer Vintage Club Miniature Trading and Collecting Series


CRS Secret Power (Adamante) - Breyer Vintage Club Miniature Trading and Collecting Series


CRS Harbinger of Misfortune (Harbinger) - Breyer Stablemate Club Harbinger


CRS Dendemille (Chickadee) - Breyer Stablemate Club Chickadee

Don't worry I'm continuing my trend of always getting the decorator for the Stablemate Club Gambler's Choice!


CRS Aquav (Javier) - Breyer Stablemate Club Javier


CRS Lily Grace (Madonna) - Breyer Stablemate Club Madonna


CRS Perrserker (Perrserker) - Breyer 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar

CRS Cheri Berry (Cheri) - Breyer 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar

CRS Slateport (Slate) - Breyer 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar


CRS Golden Strib (Strib) - Breyer 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar


CRS Three Headed Danger (Dodrio) - Breyer 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar


CRS Nacrene (Nacrene) - Breyer 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar


CRS Spotted Frustration (Frustration) - Breyer 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar


CRS Silver Hondew (Hondew) - Breyer 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar


CRS Floraidh (Floraidh) - AA Arabian Foal

This was a wonderful gift from Donna at my baby shower, I am absolutely in love with her, she is just perfect


CRS Alexanders (Alexandra) - CollectA Spanish Walk Lipizzaner Mare


CRS Annual Mercury (Mercutio) - Mojo Rearing Tinker Stallion


CRS Crowberry (Caroline) - CF Micro Pewter Exmoor painted by me to a bay

So there we go! A whole new batch of horses catalogued although some of them have been with me since last November! The four new ones are Buenos Aires, Alexandra, Mercutio and Caroline but it was nice to show off the rest of them.

You can also definitely see which naming theme I was using at which time! I do love the Pokemon names for the little Mini Whinnies (and a few of the others).

Breyer Mid-Year Releases?

So my new favourite thing is Breyer leaking their own products on their own Amazon store. They did it with the 2026 range and it looks like they've done it again with the mid-year releases.

Two new Traditional models popped up on Amazon USA overnight. If you want to view these you need to set your location to the USA. I actually do not have the energy to do this right now so you are going to get screen shots stolen off someone else!

First is Caprechio del Richuelo


This is a fleabitten grey on the El Pastor mould. He reminds me a lot of Luz de Luna but there are more fleabites and a bit more depth to his colour. I actually quite like this mould, it has a sweet face and a nice mane.

Second is my absolute favourite Mr. Shining Gun


I love the Dundee mould and the colour on this model is incredible! There is so much depth and shading and the spots! If he looks like this in person he is going to be a stunning model in any collection. Breyer have really upped their game with this guy. Definitely adding him to my collection, he's the nicest 2026 release so far in my opinion.

First Batch of Auction Models

 Breyer have announced the first batch of auction models for BreyerFest 2026 and we are off to a really good start!

So let's go through the first four models.

Lot #1 - Smart Chic Olena in Liver Chestnut Overo


This is my personal favourite of this batch. The colour was designed by Darynn Bednarczyk and is utterly gorgeous! I love the pattern and the liver chestnut coat colour is just beautiful

Lot #4 - Cantering Welsh Pony in Glossy Sun-Faded Black Blanket Spotted


This is my second favourite of the batch. The colour is just beautiful on this little girl and we just do not see enough Cantering Welsh Ponies. It's not a perfect mould but it's so cute (and of course it has plaits and we all know how I feel about a model with plaits). Designed by Christina Riley.

Lot #5 - Valegro in Dapple Bay Roan


This is my fourth choice from this batch (I wasn't just going in order)! I do like the colour on him but he doesn't strike me as much as the others do. I can see him being a good show horse though.

Lot #6 - Lady Phase in Pearl Double Dilute Tobiano Pinto


This is my third choice just because the colour is so unusual. I much prefer the swishy tail variation of Lady Phase but this girl is nice too. A classic mould but in a really unusual colour. Designed by Sommer Prosser.

Let me know your favourite from the first batch. You never know, might win the lottery before July and be able to get that Cantering Welsh Pony (clearly a good use of any lottery based winnings)
