BreyerFest 2024 in 24 Images

BreyerFest 2024: Against All Odds was a BreyerFest for the history books - not only did we sell out of our Celebration Model for the first time ever, but we also spent three incredible days celebrating the stories of horses and people who have overcome adversity and risen to life's challenges.

Whether you joined us in-person in Kentucky or from anywhere in the world online, we cannot thank you enough for helping make BreyerFest a success. Here are just a few of our highlights from this unforgettable weekend!

 

Amanda and Athena
For the first time in BreyerFest history, our Celebration Model sold out and was put on backorder. Attendees fell head-over-heels in love with Athenian Lady and her owner, Amanda Delgado.

Who's hungry? Pal sure is!
Surprise Model
Girls run the world! The 2024 Surprise Model is revealed to Friday morning onlookers at the Silent Auction.
Buckeye and Alan
Buckeye the dressage mule and Alan the jumping mule were fan-favorites of the weekend. Each day they performed a delightful longear "pas de deux" for onlookers in the Covered Arena.

A different kind of "horsepower" arrived in Celebration Park at the Mustang 60th Anniversary Car Show, held in conjunction with Paul Miller Ford.
Cossaco
Touching tributes to Jill Barron's working equitation champion Cossaco were on display at his stall.
Celebration Horse Class
Judge Eleanor Harvey explains her placings for the Celebration Model class at the BreyerFest Youth Show. This unique class shows how subtle differences in a Breyer model's craftsmanship can make them stand out from a crowd.

Breyerfest 2024 was just fabulous!!! You guys at "Breyer did an AMAZING job!! I loved it so much, and my husband did too – and he’s not even into horses! But he’s learning! He said, "You see horses doing things you just can’t believe are possible!! We both had a blast!! We’re in our 60’s, but who cares – we’re just BIG KIDS at heart!! We thought the “Theme” was awesome too!! Everything just gets better and better!!

I think everyone outdid themselves this year! It was such an amazing event. I can’t think how you’re going to top it with next year’s 75th celebration! Absolutely ecstatic to see what you ladies have up your sleeves for 2025!! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the eternally “horse-crazy” children that never grew up!
