Welp...Breyerfest is in progress! I've never been able to go myself.



I could never pick a favorite either. There are just SO many!

Omg I didn't see that there was a new Breyer topic!! We are SO back! This year was my eighth Fest (including the online ones) and I managed to get all the variations I liked best, and found two grails! Still no raffles for me lol! Apparently last year enough people complained about the raffle tickets selling out that they upgraded and got two new HUGE raffle barrels! Fest is always a highlight of my year, between the ponies and the people <3

Oh, congrats! I wish i could have gotten YOLO! Either one of these...

I wanted YOLO and Future is Bright but I have the budget of an average teen (aka broke)

I think that the one with a little bit of overo is beautiful! I did manage to find Athenian Lady and the '20 celebration horse for rlly cheap at the Swap meet so yay!

I collect them! I have a very small collection. I collect the FFA traditional horses, and have some older models from when I was kid.

I have over 2,000 model horses of various brands.

i did breyerfest online so i got a few new guys! matte hoopla, the reiner, surprise totilas.

Congrats!



Wow, sounds like a nice collection!

I picked up a couple limited editions (in spoilers for larger images) :

Glad to see another breyer horses topic is back up and running! I always wondered where the other one went. I absolutely love Breyer! My favorite model has to be the Gypsy Vanner. So far, and planning on more to come, I have Obsidian, and both the glossy and matte version of Cheesecake from the 2020 breyerfest! I had been wanting to get the Matte Cheesecake for a while but he was impossible to find since that version was limited to 1,000 pieces. I finally found one for sale in auction, won the auction and can say im now the proud owner of both! I also love the other traditionals I have like Spirit and My Orren Mixer paint series!

i just bought another one
whoops. someone block my bank account lol

I don't have any actual breyer ones, but I do have a collection of collecta and schleich ones! Breyer ones are so pretty but so expensive, plus I think I prefer how collecta look and feel honestly!

I haven’t collected any in probably 15 years but my favorite has always been Bluegrass Bandit. I’m not sure why, she’s just so beautiful.

I have a bunch of those as well!



Nice model! But i could never pick a favorite...there are far too many!

I have added these to my collection!

i got selected for the collector club bristol model. he’s from the wild animal series and looks like a poison dart frog!

Oh my goodness, you're so lucky! I could only dream of having such a neat, unique model! Even if i was lucky enough to have my name drawn, which would be a miracle in itself, I just can't afford to buy it, sigh. But congrats to you, and please share pics when you can!

I saved up for months for breyerfest and got a bunch of horses, but the best of the bunch were to the ties that bind us (blue), let the good times roll (glossy/loose hair), bisbee, maddox, and montana (bighorn sheep). I also happened upon the gnarliest shrinky imaginable in a body bin. The clarion is amazing

That's awesome! Iquitos is so pretty!



Sounds like a blast! Was it your first time going to Breyerfest?

I have a deluxe collector club membership this year, so i got in these guys!



Everybody gets the glossy appy, Darius, and one of the old decorators at random. Guess who i got?



Did anybody else get these guys? Which decorator did you get?

I love them ALL!!!

YES!!! Im about to complete my Constantina conga (two friends are getting me box set Atlanta and glossy Atlanta for Christmas!!!)

I collect breyers too

I got the copenhagen! A little darker than his big version, but I like the dark blue. I also managed to get my favorites of the SM Club Chickadees, the silver and the deco!

So happy for everyone’s collector club scores. I have a bunch of breyers from when I was a kid and just got back into looking at the models on the website this year. I bought a virtual ticket to BreyerFest and got Bellini as my stablemates model, she sits next to my work from home set up now . I’m considering joining the collectors club for 2026 and then maybe the stablemates club. With the collectors club, does the membership fee get you a model or are they all an additional fee? Same with the stablemates club, what is the price (I can’t see that online since I am not a member of the CC) and do you get guaranteed horses, or do you have to buy them all separately? Any explanation/help on this would be appreciated, feel free to PM me instead of using the forum if you prefer.

Hey! Thanks for posting! The blue sounds lovely! I would have loved the spotted blue too...those two and the one i got were all kind of together in my preference with no clear winner...the solid gold was my last choice though, so thankfully i didn't get that. As far as Chickadee goes, i am very jealous! I only have one account, and i wanted the deco so bad! I ended up getting my least preference, the palomino appy. She's ok, but i had a real desire for the deco, and then a distant second would have been the dark glossy. The others trailed a ways behind. So you got both of my favorites and i really struck out. Congrats on getting your favorites!



Hi! I didn't get to collect Breyers until i discovered them as an adult, although i'm a life long horse lover. That's neat that you have yours from when you were a kid! I do join the collectors club and the stablemates club, but that is all i can afford. I SO wish i could afford the premier club...i really want Georgina, but there's no way i can do it. This is her:



So gorgeous! The way the club works is, before you can join any of the other clubs (stablemate, vintage, premier) you must join the collector club. This year i believe the price is (higher, like everything else these days, unfortunately) $35. Keep in mind that i am extending my membership...i'm not 100% sure but it might be higher for a first time joiner, as opposed to me renewing my existing membership. Now, there is also a deluxe collector club, which i am also renewing, that is $70 for me. If you join the deluxe club, you do get a free stablemate and collector's pin, which is shipped for free in the fall. So it comes later in the year. The regular collector's club members do not get the free stablemate and pin, but do get the rest of the benefits, such as the 10% off regular stock items, chances to buy exclusive traditional models (see below), and access to the forums, etc. You can look on the website to see all the benefits. As for the joining the stablemates club, there is a stablemate made available every other month. You are required to purchase them within the allotted amount of time, usually two or three weeks i believe, and they typically run about $20 and change. Only the stablemate club members can buy them. If you fail to buy them, you can lose club privileges, and maybe the ability to join the next year...i'm not sure how they do all that, as i've never missed. So for stablemates, a model is released every other month, so six releases, with an optional seventh release in December (so two that month) which means you don't HAVE to buy the extra one. The other clubs, like the Premier, i believe has three releases a year, but naturally they are much more expensive...like often around the $200 mark. Vintage club is similar to that, but i'm not sure how many releases they offer per year in that club. It is popular though, and i think it is the only club with limited access, like only 1200 can join a year, and those memberships usually go fast. I hope this makes some sense! Here is the first collector club exclusive traditional model for 2026, which i REALLY hope i can get! Its called Lavinia...i love the drafts!
