Celebration of Breyer II

 Did you enjoy our first photoshow of the year? If you did then get ready because Celebration of Breyer II will be starting shortly!

This is the second show in our model horse photoshow series for Breyers only. If you have kept up to date with our updates you will know that this year marks 10 years since Chestnut Ridge started stocking Breyer horses. To celebrate we are running four shows through the year:

1. Celebration of Breyer I - Photoshow for Traditional scale model horses (January 2025)

2. Celebration of Breyer II - Photoshow for other scale model horses (May 2025)

3. Celebration of Breyer Live - Live show for Breyer model horses (August 2025)

4. Celebration of Breyer III - Photoshow for Stablemate scale model horses (September 2025)

Our first show was a great success with 5880 entries over the four sections.

We are expecting this show to be a bit smaller but I'm sure you all have some amazing model horses to bring out and show. This show is for 'other scale' model horses and will be for any Breyer horses that is not Traditional or Stablemate scale.

Classic scale Breyer horses are perfect for this show.

What is 'Other Scale'?

Other scale refers to any Breyer horse that is not Stablemate or Traditional scale. The show includes plastic and CCR Breyer models.

There are four main scales that will be shown:
  1. Classic/Freedom Series (1:12 scale)
  2. Paddock Pal (1:24 scale)
  3. Mini Whinnie (1:64 scale)
  4. 'Foals' (1:6 scale)
Any Breyer Gallery piece that does not fit within Traditional/Classic scale and also isn't one of the scales listed above would also go into this show.

We expect most of the entries to be Classics, Paddock Pals and Mini Whinnies but I'm hoping for a few Foalzillas!

Think about which models you want to enter - this model would be perfect for the Partbred Arabian class

The Sections

This show has four main sections which are:
  1. Breed
  2. Collectability
  3. Performance
  4. Workmanship
Breed

Breed classes are split by breed and are judged on breed standard as well as all the usual judging criteria. There are a variety of classes to suit all models including an other animal class for non-equine models.

Collectability

The collectability sections are split by breed type and then the classes are split by run type. They will be judged on the collectability of the models. Please ensure to include as much detail as possible to save me time when judging :)

Performance

Performance sections are split by discipline. They will be judged on the accuracy of the set up including realism and adherence to the rules of the relevant discipline. 

Workmanship

Workmanship classes are split by colour. These will be judged on the quality of finish but also the realism of colour. These are effectively 'colour' classes as I appreciate there's no real workmanship for OF models!

Ensure your picture is clear with your model square on to the camera
