Recap of BreyerFest's Equine Demonstration Groups!

Continuing to recap some of the amazing moments with the real horses at BreyerFest we can’t forget to highlight some of our amazing demonstration groups! These groups come to BreyerFest to show off their breed or specific discipline and help bring a lot of variety to our event stabling so BreyerFest guests can meet many different horse breeds over the weekend.

Rockin’ R Rhythm Riders Drill Team has been performing at BreyerFest for over 15 years showcasing their beautiful and endangered breed, the Mountain Pleasure Horse. This year they put on two different demos in the Covered Arena showcasing the versatility of their horses.

Our Friesian group came ready for the spotlight this year. This group of owners love showing that while their horses are indeed beautiful, they are also very versatile. Some showed off their driving skills while others demonstrated english and western disciplines. There were even a few pairs dressed in regalia from different time periods such as the Middle Ages and renaissance!  

To help celebrate the release of Surfer’s Riptide’s model and the 100^th Anniversary of the Chincoteague Pony Swim, the Chincoteague Pony Drill team traveled to BreyerFest to show off their talented ponies. With fun and technical drills this group entertained crowds not only in the Covered Arena during the day but were a part of the Celebration of Horses Evening Show.

Another group that has been coming to BreyerFest for many years is Ohio Standardbreds and Friends. This fun group loves showcasing their Standardbreds and educating people on all the different disciplines these horses can do after their racing career! 

The Kentucky Horse Park Mounted Police and their equine officers not only helped keep BreyerFest fans safe throughout the day, they also put on a fun demonstration for spectators in the Covered Arena that incorporated some of the different scenarios a police horse may encounter. This year they added a fun twist and entertained crowds with a game of hoofball!

Dixie and Christy Tucker returned to BreyerFest this year to show off some more of Dixie’s cool tricks, many of which she has done in the movies and tv shows she has starred in such as Orphan Horse. They put a fun twist on their demo this year and brought along Tucker an adorable mini horse who is quite literally Dixie’s mini me!

The ponies from Kokovoko Farm returned to bring awareness to their rare breed, the Gotland Pony. This versatile group showed off their ponies in English and Western tack and demonstrated what a great children’s mount this breed is!

Stay tuned as we continue to recap BreyerFest!
