Nistar Blazing Kansas

Happy Friday BreyerFest fans! The Breyer Events team is kicking off the first day of BreyerMidwest at EquiFest of Kansas and thought that for today’s guest horse reveal it would be perfect to welcome back this talented pony with the same name as the state we are currently visiting! Last year you may have spotted this fancy guy rocking out to Elton John and we can’t wait to see what he’s cooking up for 2025!

Don’t tell Nistar Blazing Kansas LOM that he can’t do something. Standing at 11.2 hands, “Kansas” competes in halter, trail, pleasure driving, and carriage driving for owner Cynthia Bellis-Jones of Fox Run Farm – often against Sporthorses much larger than him. He’s been named a National Champion in the Welsh Pony & Cob Society of America (WPCSA), Pinto Horse Association, the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF), and the United States Dressage Federation (USDF). He continues to rack up championships and now is watching his progeny take the winner circle in various disciplines.

Kansas was nationally ranked the WPCSA’s #1 Section A Stallion in 2018 and 2019, and his path to the top was paved in victory. He earned his Legion of Merit with the WPCSA in 2018 and in 2021 received his Award of Excellence. In 2019 he was named the organization’s Welsh of the Year. Kansas was also the USEF’s Horse of the Year in four times all in addition to being a three-time winner of the USDF’s Welsh All-Breed Award and three-time Grand Champion of the National Dressage Pony Cup. Kansas and Cindy can’t wait to be back at BreyerFest and enjoy the weekend with their many fans!
