As you saw with yesterday's reveal, the relationship between horses and humans goes back a long way. Even long before horses were domesticated, they fascinated ancient people enough to be depicted in some truly ancient art.
Dating to more than 29,000 years ago, the cave paintings of Pech Merle in France are one of the oldest representations of horses in art (only slightly younger than the Vogelherd Figurines unearthed in Germany) and were discovered by a group of teenagers exploring the cave system in 1922. Among the various representations of animals and humans depicted on the massive cave walls are a series of “dappled horses” that bear a striking resemblance to appaloosas.
We are so excited to introduce you to our next Special Run star, a tribute to the eternal relationship between horses and humans, Pech Merle!
$60.00 each; 1,900 pieces made.
This horse of a different color, Pech Merle, has been done on the John Henry mold (mold #445), sculpted by Jeanne Mellin Herrick, in a bloody bay semi-leopard appaloosa and looks strikingly like the horses depicted by those ancient artists. We are thrilled for this model to find a home in your herd.
We've got more information coming your way tomorrow, right here on the BreyerFest Blog, so don't stray far!

I think this will be our glossy/matte split run. He is a really nice color, but not a great mold in my opinion.

Nicest color and pattern on a John Henry ever made!

I am concerned about not only my ability but everyone’s ability to be able to pay for VIP ticket(s) and the horses they would like to buy with such a short notice after such a tough year and so soon after the holidays. I absolutely LOVE the two SR’s that have been released so far but I am having mad stress and anxiety over the new VIP tickets and horses and the ability to save up for all of it in time with such short notice. And I know I am not alone in feeling this way. It feels like those of us on a tight budget are being left behind and Breyer is becoming more and more something just for the well to do. It’s heartbreaking.

Wowza!
January 10, 2021
Oh! I absolutely love this guy! I am an absolute fanatic for Cave paintings, especially cave paintings of horses, so this guy will need to come home with me!
January 10, 2021

January 10, 2021
He is very striking!
January 10, 2021
Isnt he just gorgeous! Love the color on him and his calm demeanor, he will look wonderful in tack!
January 10, 2021
I quite like this coloration but I’m not a big fan of the mold so I probably wont be adding him to my collection. Great work on him tho, he looks amazing but the mold just isn’t my cup of tea :)
January 10, 2021
Good job Breyer! He is really pretty!
January 10, 2021
Ok I have this one on my must haves ! What a super choice , he could be related to Dani .
So when will we find out the cost of the VIP tickets ? Don’t know how I’m going to plan on who to get unless we all have a price . Breyer ? Waiting . ……..

Have raised Appaloosas for 50 +yrs,love their history,love that this can be shared with a great story as well a stunning model….btw how to I get one?
January 10, 2021
He’s quite handsome!
Um, I might be the only one, but as a Club member, I’m not getting any emails about Breyerfest updates and I can’t find anything on the website (since this blog is separate from the regular one). I have to come to Instagram, find you, then follow links that way. Is there a faster/easier way?
January 10, 2021
I’m absolutely LOVING the art history behind these models! I can’t wait to see the rest of the reveals!
January 10, 2021
He’s Adorable 😍

January 10, 2021
Absolutely beautiful 🤩
January 11, 2021
I was super excited to see the next special run for breyerfest. Breyerfest special runs are usually so gorgeous like Beneli, Cheesecake, and Topgun from last year. I was expecting so much more from you guys because of the last reveal. He was beautiful! Gorgeous Uffington being the first reveal made me think it was getting better from there but.. Merle looks like that one vintage breyer in a 25 dollar vintage lot on ebay that nobody wants to buy. He looks too much like the celebration horse anyway. He can’t be a horse of a different color if he looks pretty much the same as the celebration horse! And also, not a big fan of the mold :(
January 09, 2021
He is absolutely adorable Breyer!!! Thank you for all that you do and keep up the amazing work!
