BreyerFest 2026

OK so I know I've been really bad when it comes to updates this year and haven't actually featured any of the BreyerFest releases for 2026. So I decided that I'd do a massive post with all of them in and a run down of who I definitely want to add to my collection at this year's BreyerFest.

The theme of BreyerFest 2026 is Midsummer Fair which is basically a Scandinavian theme. I'll let you guys make your minds up about the extent to which each of these models fits the theme. The other interesting thing they've done this year is release the model variations in advance (with the exception of the surprise horse) so you can see if you are going to get the chance of a variation. I'm not sure how I feel about this, it kinda takes the excitement out of Friday afternoon and seeing all the variations get released as people post them. We do still get the surprise horse surprise though!

OK so let's go through what is on offer this year

Special Runs

Litha


Price: $75
Run: 2200
Available: In person & online
Variation: 30% decorator
Plan to get? Not for me this one - not an Ethereal fan and neither colour really sticks out to me


Aquavit


Price: $75
Run: 2400
Available: In person
Variation: 50% bell tail
Plan to get? Yes definitely! I'll be after both variations on the second hand market


Thingvellir


Price: $75
Run: 2300
Available: In person & online
Variation: 50% sooty palomino
Plan to get? No - two lovely colours but not a mould I would actively purchase


Scandi Surprise


Price: $90
Run: 7800
Available: In person & online
Variation: Yes (obviously) but we'll have to see what!
Plan to get? Yes - will be my second choice on my list

Birka & Ribe


Price: $90
Run: 2200
Available: In person
Variation: No
Plan to get? No - only available in person & not one I'd actively seek out. The foal is nice, maybe at some point if they come up on the second hand market in the UK at a good price

Hirtir


Price: $70
Run: 1700
Available: In person
Variation: No
Plan to get? Again only in person, but at a good price in the UK? Yes I'd probably buy him for Brendon

Oseberg

Run: 2200
Available: In person & online
Variation: 50% glossy
Plan to get? Absolutely - this is my number one pick this year. I'd like both variations ultimately.


Midnattssol


Price: $80
Run: 2400
Available: In person
Variation: No
Plan to get? Probably not - cool colour though

The Wanderer


Price: $80
Run: 2400
Available: In person & online
Variation: No
Plan to get? No but will be my third choice on my selection list, I'm not a fan of the mould but the colour is cool

Limited Editions

Vindur


Price: $75
Run: 1800
Available: In person & online
Variation: No
Plan to get? Still undecided, maybe finances permitting? I do like the colour and although I say I don't like the mould I have quite a few of them so maybe I do

Pyxis av Drömmarna


Price: $85
Run: 1800
Available: In person & online
Variation: No
Plan to get? Absolutely yes - love the mould and love the colour (would have preferred the plaited variation but we can't have everything)

Öjvind

Price: $75
Run: 2000
Available: In person & online
Variation: No
Plan to get? No - not for me this one

Skógafoss

Available: In person & online
Variation: No
Plan to get? No

Dalarna


Price: $38
Run: 1500
Available: In person & online
Variation: No
Plan to get? Probably not - I absolutely love the concept and she's super cool, but maybe a bit too red for me!

Blóm


Price: $20
Run: 1750
Available: In person & online
Variation: No
Plan to get? Obviously yes - number one pick each year is the plushie!

Best of BreyerFest - Series 7


Price: $65
Run: 2100
Available: In person & online
Variation: No
Plan to get? Yes hopefully - but this set always sells out quickly and I definitely don't think it will be available if they are allowing in person ticket holders to shop online before online ones

Hygge


Price: $16
Run: 3000
Available: Online
Variation: Yes - no info on run split
Plan to get? Yes - love this mould, also the variation is pink and pink is COOL


Uff Da


Price: $78
Run: 3000
Available: Online
Variation: No
Plan to get? Not really my cup of  my tea so no

Event Models

Corgi Hill Flinka


2026 Celebration Horse
Comes with all VIP/All-Acess/Fan/Online Traditional Access tickets

There were no prizes for guessing that this year's celebration horse was going to be a Fjord on the new Fjord mould! I mean it was either going to be that or an Icelandic!

Single Day Stablemates

Available with General Admission & Online Stablemate tickets. VIP ticket holders get a full set & All-Access ticket holders who purchased before the end of February also get a single model.

Usually also available online to purchase a full set.

I didn't get a Stablemate ticket this year as none of them stuck out to me. I'll probably grab one if I see them at a good price in the UK at a later date.

Helsinki


Copenhagen


Uppsala


Keflavik


Contest Prizes

Lingonberry

Lingonberry is the Best Customs Contest champion prize


Gravlax

Gravlax is the Best Customs Contest runner up prize


OK so there we go, that is BreyerFest 2026 summed up. Obviously now we wait for my favourite part - the merch reveal! Because do I need a new water bottle? Absolutely not. Am I definitely going to purchase a new water bottle at BreyerFest? Absolutely yes. Seriously the water bottle situation is getting out of hand, I need to stop, this is not healthy consumerism, I feel like one of those Stanley cup influencers but with BreyerFest water bottles. It's really not OK.

Breyer 2025 Christmas Range

Can I mention the C word yet? I mean it isn't that long to go! If you are starting to think about Christmas and maybe what you want to be stuffed in your stocking then today's post is for you. Today we are doing a run down of the Breyer 2025 Christmas Range. Nothing new here but my first post with everything together in one place.

Horses

The Breyer 2025 Holiday Horse is Christmas in Bloom, a dark grey on the Flash mould with some very spectacular feathers!


Next we have the Holiday Trail Ride set. Highlight of this set is definitely the random cactus! I mean who doesn't need a festive cactus?


The 2025 Pony for Christmas is the adorable Cuddles. Cuddles is a chestnut pinto Misty with a cute little gingerbread themed rug.


Sylvan is a gorgeous Breyer Classic Morgan with a cute reindeer design. I love the metallic lilac colour of his coat.



Ornaments

The 2025 Stirrup Ornament features the 2025 Holiday Horse - Christmas in Bloom


The next ornament is the Blown Glass Ornament featuring the Brishen Vanner model. This looks like such a cool concept, I can't wait to see one in person.


The 2025 race horse ornament is Lexington


The Artist's Signature Ornament for 2025 features Morgans and Friends. We have a Morgan Stallion with a cute Labrador and a Marabella with a little grey tabby.


The unicorn ornament for this year is Nalu. This guy is so different, a cool green design that reminds me of a kelpie.


Santa is having a go at saddleseat this year on his very own Saddlebred! 


The Carousel ornament for the year is Victory. Victory is a beautiful palomino colour with purple and blue designs, featuring lots of lovely rsoettes


The Beautiful Breeds ornament this year is a 'Shetland Pony'. More of an American Shetland than a British one this does not look like a proper Shetland at all!


The final ornament we have is the 2025 Paint Your Own Ornaments kit. This year's kit features a M1 Brishen and a G2 Trotting Foal. I have two of the previous sets and yet haven't actually had a go at them yet! I definitely need to make sure I try them out before Christmas this year.



Advent Calendars

There are two offerings this year. One isn't really an advent calendar but I'm grouping them together!

The first is the 12 Days of Breyer calendar. I love the idea of having an advent calendar for before Christmas and then a 12 Days calendar to count down to 12th night after Christmas! More Mini Whinnies for me! This calendar comes with a 'chase' mini Sherman Morgan so you will need to get several to collect the full set.


The main advent calendar for the year is the Horses & Unicorn friends advent calendar. This contains both realistic models and unicorns as well as various accessories. I like the Paint and Appaloosa.


Other Items

First up we have the 2025 snow globe - Joy of the Season. Featuring a rearing model and a garland of roses around the outside. This year's snow globe plays "I'll be home for Christmas".


Nick is the only piece from the Christmas range that I've already added to my collection! Isn't he the cutest thing. An adorable Father Christmas themed plushie with a cute fluffy beard.


Everyone needs socks for Christmas and this year you can have these Breyer Holiday Socks


And for your hot chocolate on Christmas Eve why not get this Christmas in Bloom mug?


And wrap yourself up in the Christmas in Bloom blanket?


I do really like the Christmas in Bloom Holiday Hat, it has a cute bobble on top, how adorable.


Finally we have the Christmas in Bloom Enamel Pin featuring this year's holiday horse, Christmas in Bloom.


Which is your favourite item from the Breyer 2025 Christmas range? Mine is definitely Nick!
