Uh-oh...A blog post...on a MONDAY????

That could only mean one thing...there's been a reveal.  And boy what a reveal!

We are only 6 weeks away from BreyerFest weekend and we have saved one of our favorite reveals for last: Series 1 of our new Best of BreyerFest Stablemates sets, where we've taken some of your favorite raffle prizes from previous BreyerFests and made them in miniature!  This set will be available to all BreyerFest ticket holders as part of the offerings in our Fling! Souvenir Shop.
Included in this year's set will be "Kochab", done on mold #5729 sculpted by Josine Vingerling, which has been done as a miniature North Star, the Saturday Raffle Model from our Salute to Horse Heroes in 2019.  Kochab is the second brightest star in the Little Dipper, second to Polaris - commonly known as the North Star.

Also included will be "Gale", done on mold #5602 sculpted by Kathleen Moody, which has been done as a miniature Windswept, the Saturday Raffle Model from BreyerFest's Summer Carnival in 2006.  We know this little one will sweep you off your feet!

We are also excited for you to bring home "Durham", done on mold #5607 also sculpted by Kathleen Moody, which has been done as a miniature Carlisle, the Saturday Raffle model from our British Invasion in 2012.  Just like Carlisle, Durham is also a "cathedral city" in the north of England and boasts a massive cathedral and castle that date from William the Conqueror.

As well, you'll get to bring home "Victoire", done on mold #5622 sculpted by Jane Lunger, which has been done as a miniature Que Sera Sera, the Saturday Raffle model from Vive la France in 2015.  This little one has no time to just let things be and will surely take this place as the winner of your collection!

And last, but certainly not least, we are pleased to round out this series with "Viaje", done on mold #5721 also sculpted by Jane Luger, as a miniature Viajero, the Saturday Raffle model from BreyerFest's Global Gallop in 2008.  This little traveler can't wait to find his place on your shelf.

Happy Monday!
What a great line-up.  I only actively conga the first one, Kochab, but I like the colors and markings of all the others, especially Gale and Victoire.  If I am able to, I will probably buy the set.  The one I like least is probably Durham.  The color and pattern just kind of bug me.  Maybe it will look better in person, eh?

Well, I guess that's it for now.  I would talk about the current affairs going on, but I don't want to give any additional "media" to the domestic terrorists that are destroying cities all over the country, all in the name of justice, but justice isn't about looting and burning things down.

So, until next time...

    1. You’re welcome. I’m glad you find it useful. And thank you for the continued kind words about my blog. I try so hard to keep it fun and entertaining and I hope like heck I succeed at that. With Durham, it’s the pattern, I think. It seems too...perfect. I like my paints and pintos to have more random bits of color and Durham it’s white-color-white-color-white-color. Bam. Bam. Bam. Like the painter took a solid white model and slapped chestnut stripes on it then threw in the bay characteristics. Too matchy-matchy, you know?
