Breyerfest

Breyerfest
Breyer Animal Creations holds events yearly such as model horse shows and Breyer Fun Days. Since 1989, Breyer has hosted Breyerfest (also known as BF) at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky. Breyerfest is held in July annually. It is a three-day event for model horse collectors. During the event, attendees can purchase models, sell their own, trade with others, purchase special run models only sold at Breyerfest, and participate in model horse shows. There are classes and workshops on painting, customizing, and repairing models. There are even lectures on collecting and judging models.

There is a new "Celebration Horse" every year, which is normally a famous horse that the model was inspired by. This Traditional model is included with the purchase of a three-day ticket. With the purchase of a one-day ticket, Breyerfest goers recieve a Breyerfest Stablemate model. Every Breyerfest has a different theme. This tradition started in 2002, so the earlier years did not have themes. Each year real horses (normally well-known) attend Breyerfest as a guests of honor, along with well-known trainers or owners. Breyerfest has been host to many famous horses, such as Sham, Cigar, and Pecos.

Store specials are models that are on sale in the Breyer store only at Breyerfest. These models are limited run. They are limited to one per person and do not require a special run ticket to be purchased. There is often a crowd of people waiting outside the Breyer store to get these models.

Breyerfest Collector Cards
Breyerfest Collector Cards are glossy cardstock cards of different sizes that feature a picture on the front of a horse/special run model and the history/information of the horse/model on the back. They also may have the Breyerfest dates that they were given out on the back. These cards are given out at Breyerfest and sometimes at surrounding hotels near Breyerfest. Model Horse Collector's Jamboree also gives out their own collector cards. The cards do not have much value because most Breyer collectors don't collect the cards. The cards only run about $1 to $3 each. Picture copyrighted by Reeves Breyer. Fair Use]]
