Megan Noga of Maryland and Michael Miller of Georgetown, KY were both excited when they opened up the hot pink bag to reveal extra special Charcoal Surprise models.  Robin Briscoe happened to be nearby when Megan and Michael posed for a photo-op of their lucky finds!

Dan Miller (no relation to previously mentioned Michael Miller) also found himself the new owner of a jazzy silver filigree QH with pink halter.

Congratulations to Melanie Nelson of Cortland, IL on winning Silver Screen in the BreyerFest Just About Horses Raffle.

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful time at BreyerFest. As you may know the Piece of Cake contest was a big success.  We had over 250 entries that were all amazing.  The creativity that every entry had was outstanding, so it was very difficult to pick the winners. Shown above are two pictures taken of your masterpieces. (Photos taken by Robin Briscoe)

Hey everyone! We wanted to inform all of you about our special Twitter address dedicated to BreyerFest that will send periodic updates from the Horse Park.  We will be communicating via our BreyerFest Twitter account, called BreyerFest, which is a great way to find out what is going on at BreyerFest if you cannot make it to the event. Not only will you get updates, but you will be sent exclusive pictures of some of the action at BreyerFest. This is also perfect for any of you lucky collectors that got tickets to BreyerFest because even if you have a conflicting event you can still learn what is going on at different stations during the three-day festival. Don’t forget to follow our Twitter account for the rest of the year on breyerhorses.com at Twitter.  See you Friday!

Elegance

The majesty, the power and the breathtaking beauty of the horse, captured in bronze as only the equine experts at Breyer can, is being offered to discerning collectors at BreyerFest this week!

There are five different equine sculptures and one bovine sculpture in this rare and very limited edition group, all cast in bronze using the lost wax process  making each of these exquisite pieces true heirloom quality. The lost wax process dates back thousands of years, and pieces cast in this manner can be expected, like those of an earlier millennium, to stand the test of time. To learn more about the art of lost wax casting visit http://www.artworksfoundry.com/process/.

Displayed on either a wood or marble base, these six pieces are offered in bronze, black or a verdigris finish. Five of the pieces portray the splendor of the horse in a variety of perspectives. The sixth is a spectacular sculpture of the famed Texas Longhorn. And, even though they are all very limited editions, Breyer has not made the full allotment of each edition, making these pieces even rarer!

1.       Wild and Free, first offered as a limited edition at the prestigious Scottsdale Arabian Show, is on the Silver mold and is sculpted by Kathleen Moody. This gorgeous work of art, portraying the wild spirit and beauty of the horse, was designed to be a limited run of 500 pieces, but we are offering only 9.

2.       Huckleberry Bey, one of the most popular Breyer molds of all time, was also sculpted by Moody and also first offered in bronze at the Scottsdale Arabian show. A very limited number of this breathtaking sculpture, portraying the beauty and spirit of the Arabian horse, is available.

3.       What better gift is there than the precious gift of new life? The Gift portrays a tender moment between a mare and her newborn foal. This exquisite rendering is part of an edition limited to 250 pieces, but we have only ten available.

4.       Gentle Giant, a beloved drafter, shows both his gentle temperament and his mighty physique in this beautiful bronze sculpture. Only 10 of this limited run of 50 were produced.

5.       Elegance, the last of the equine grouping, is a stunning bronze portrayal of a horse in Arabian or Bedoun costume. Only 10 of a limited run of 100 have been made.

6.       Texas Legend is a strikingly handsome Texas Longhorn bull, first offered at the Scottsdale Arabian Show. This classic sculpture by Christian Hess, is from a limited run of 40 with only 10 created. Of the ten, one is available with polished gold horns.
