BreyerFest Open Show Winners!

This year’s BreyerFest marked the 2nd year that the Open Model Horse Show ran for two days and what another great year it turned out to be!  We had packed houses both days with competitors putting their best hoof forward in Performance and Mini classes on Thursday, and Halter classes on Friday.

We cannot imagine how hard it must have been for this year’s incredible roster of judges to choose the winners of so many different classes. A huge thank you to all the entrants, helpers, judges, stewards, and especially Show Manager Michelle for making this two-day extravaganza such a success.

If you missed this year’s Open Show (or just want another excuse to show your collection!), details for an upcoming pop-up event will be announced soon! Read below to see who got their hands on this year’s beautiful Champion Prize on the Gaming Stock Horse, Svalbard, and the handsome Reserve Champion Prize on the Peruvian Paso, Lapland.

Congratulations to all the winners of this year’s BreyerFest Open Show!
