BreyerFest Guest Horses & Friends Recap!

This year’s BreyerFest celebrating 75 years of the Breyer brand boasted an incredible 20  portrait horses (a horse who has had a model made after them) onsite at BreyerFest - the most the event has ever had at once! Many of these horses traveled from out of state and brought a travel buddy or two to hang out with them for the weekend. You could not only meet the horses behind the models, but some of their friends as well!

Beau N’ Arrow and his Muddy Creek Vaulters squad showed off some of their amazing vaulting routines in the daily equine demos. During his demo he showed how he takes care of his team with his steady rhythmical canter. 

Beau traveled with his friend, teammate, and fellow Spotted Draft Horse Aladdin. Just like Beau, Aladdin is a talented vaulting horse and takes excellent care of his team! 

Game Day Surprise traveled all the way from Colorado to meet his fans. “Eli” performed in our Celebration of Horses evening show and met his fans at the Autograph Tent during the day. 

Eli’s friend Rolo in the Cash joined his performances in the Covered Arena and put on a reining masterclass for spectators. He and Sharee ran a beautiful pattern showing off spins, sliding stops, and flying changes! 

Buckeye the mule is a fan-favorite among guests! While he is known for his incredibly good looks, he has also successfully competed in dressage, driving, and western events, showing everyone that mules can do anything a horse can do! 

Buckeye brought along some adorable long-eared friends this year: donkey Señor Carrots and pony mule Henry. Both Señor Carrots and Henry have participated in many youth rodeos, regularly shown in local open shows, and trail rides. They love helping their young riders learn new skills, sportsmanship, and responsibilities. These long-eared pals were stellar representatives of work mules and donkeys! 

Local celebrity Harley, who is known for his loud coat pattern and ponying champions on Kentucky racetracks, loved the attention from his fans. While he is giant, he has the sweetest personality and posed perfectly for photos. 

Harley brough his nephew Rip along to experience the BreyerFest action! Rip is also a Sugarbush Draft Horse and sports a spotted coat pattern like his uncle. While Rip is still young, he took all of BreyerFest in stride! 

Rain, who is a daughter of the famous Pryor Mustang Cloud, represented the breed and her sire at BreyerFest this year. Rain is a sweet mare who was the perfect ambassador. Fans enjoyed meeting her and talking with her owner, Lisa Friday. 

Rain brought along her friend Biloxi who is also a Mustang. Biloxi loved the event and all the attention he got from guests. He and Rain had fun playing with a big blow-up ball during their Covered Arena demos!
