We can’t reveal this model to you just yet – we can’t even give you so much as a clue! What we can reveal is that we have pulled out all the stops for this year’s Surprise Model, the Seven Arts Surprise. There will be a total of 6,000 of this model made and each will cost $85.00 - but that's all we'll say!
The Seven Arts refers to the traditional subdivision of the Arts – Architecture, Sculpture, Painting, Literature, Music, Performing Arts, and Film.
Here's to a beautiful and creative 2021.

I went to last years BreyerFest and the models were amazing. I hope this years models are just as good.

Please be on the raia mold

I really want to know what the model looks like but so far it’s AMAZING

Horsegirlp27, the Surprise models are several different colorways on one mold (maybe more than one mold this year!) that are new creations for BF every year. If you search for “surprise model breakdown” on the BF blog you should get an example of what the line-up’s idea is. :)

OMG! Can’t wait to see it!😆 I am new to Breyer fest this year! I can’t wait wait!!! Question……….are the surprise models usually? Like in past years. Are they like old club (like the model clubs) Models from like premier club or something? I have no idea.

The strokes kind of make me think of the Cleveland Bay mold. I think there are going to be seven different color variations, glossy/matte 50/50 split, and the colors of the strokes will be the base color of the model. For example the blue could be the base of a blue roan.

Ninth on my list!

I’m so excited to see what they look like! I know they are going to be gorgeous like always, love you Breyer! 😘

As this is my first time attending breyerfest, i have never had any special runs in my collection. And from seeing the old suprise horses this is in my top 2. My geusses are bristol, idocus, deunde, dundee.
February 02, 2021
Well, it says there were 6000 Surprise models made. with about 10,000 All Access & VIP tickets available.. so it is possible that just because you put down a Surprise model as 1 of your top 2 on the preference list, you may not get one, depending on your ticket “spot”….. But not everyone will put in for a Surprise model, especially with all the other great models available this year..
January 26, 2021
Thanks McKenna! I forgot about him. :)
January 25, 2021
My guess is there’s gonna be 3 sets of identical models, with half glossy/half matte in the run, and a 4th ‘surprise’ version that doesn’t match the others. but honestly who knows? I just wish I knew if these were going to be decorator or realistic colors, really LOL

BLANCHE THE GUINEA PIG , The 2018 suprise model had a base because it was on the Smarty Jones mold
January 25, 2021
Okay so if you are one of those people who thinks it will be one of the molds from last years auction I think it will be Bluegrass Bandit . If it is not based off of the live auction models then I think it will be Desatado
January 20, 2021
I really hope that the mold is Make a Wish, Desatado, Gypsy Vanner, Huck Bey, Othello, Silver or the Spirit mold. Those are my top picks for a mold for the surprise model. I will say, though, that NEVER have I seen a line up of model horses for Breyerfest that I have wanted majority of them for my collection. So here’s to working overtime in the 1st part of the year to fund my model horse collection, as I will have to buy some of these 2nd hand, as there is a limit to how many we can buy with one ticket!!!!! I’m very impressed and excited this year.

Candace, the Surprise model is a Special run, so it is/can be one of your two choices. Only All Access and VIPs have access to them. The surprise is revealed when the model reaches your house, (Or when you see a post of it on social media from another collector who got theirs before you got yours). At in person BF, you usually know the mold prior to purchase, but this is not Breyer’s choice. Word of mouth carries that secret around. :) Follow this link to find out more trivia and facts about past BreyerFests: https://www.identifyyourbreyer.com/specialevent.htm#BreyerFest
Welcome to the world of Breyer!
January 19, 2021
I’m new to this. Is the surprise model one of the ‘special run’ models? So.. if you’re VIP (or All Access) it can be one of your two choices? Or is it a ‘limited edition’ and any ticket holder could potentially get one? Is the surprise not revealed until it shows up at your house? or is the surprise revealed during the fest and before purchase..??
January 18, 2021
I’m gonna say Idocus, but possibly an Arabian. I don’t think Dundee because we have Peptoboonsmal and there was Carter and Duwamish last year. It would be a bit of an overload to see a surprise horse come our on him so soon. :)
January 17, 2021
For some reason I think it will be on the Dundee mold 🤷♀️
January 15, 2021
Maybe the brush strokes themselves are a hint- kind of reminds me of the Totilas mold
January 15, 2021
Plz be Bristol or silver
January 15, 2021
Release the mold! Release the mold! Release the mold! Free the secret!! Please!!!!!
January 14, 2021
can not wait love horses
January 14, 2021
Yes, please, just this year, release the mold. The rest can be a total surprise, but knowing what the mold is will really help us plan tickets.
January 14, 2021
Okay so its the 7 Arts right! So for either the Architecture or sculpture one there is going to possibly be a woodgrain horse in there, one that could be a paint or a pinto, and perhaps the others will just have to really find out what they could be, color wise. But, for sure there might be a woodgrain horse in the mix? LOL! maybe I am galloping to far ahead of myself :)

Does anyone remember off the top of their had if Breyer has ever done a surprise model on a mold with a base? I was just wondering because it seems like the base might scratch the model since it’s in a bag instead of a box.
January 13, 2021
please please please please let it be bristol….
January 13, 2021
SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!😝🤪🤩😍🥳
January 13, 2021
These are a surprise every year ! ;-)
January 13, 2021
I see 7 different color Clearware models … on a new mold ;)
January 13, 2021
Crossing my fingers for Bristol! Please please please! 🤞
January 13, 2021
Breyer – you’re killin me! Now I’ve got to have all of them!! As a performing artist and an avid art lover in general, I can’t wait to see the beauty of the horse mixed with the beauty of art.
January 13, 2021
I wish I liked decoraters but I am excited to see which one I get
January 12, 2021
Help me this is great! I can imagine a sculpture mold like cryptic. That hasnt been used and looks awesome!
January 12, 2021
It’s too late, my hopes are up! I now have my hopes super high up for 7 different color variations!
January 12, 2021
I think “Pulling Out All The Stops” is our clue! They say they don’t give one but the last three years I have accurately figured it out by reading the post. I also like the seven color stripes idea from Elaine. :)
January 12, 2021
I’m gonna say there is more than one deco in there!!
January 12, 2021
They show 7 different colors on announcement?
January 12, 2021
OMG yess i love when they do the surprise ones!!!!!!
January 12, 2021
I love it so much!!! I’m a performing arts major and music minor and arts person all around so I’m TOTALLY getting one of these!
January 12, 2021
Eren, typically you can get one surprise model per ticket. You get 2 special runs per ticket and you can not get 2 of the same models, so you could get one surprise model and a different special run for your ticket
January 12, 2021
How many Surprise models will we be able to purchase with each ticket?
January 12, 2021
I plan to add this this model to my list , just love surprises .looking forward to it .
January 12, 2021
What a fantastic idea for the surprise model. I can`t wait until BF to see how these models look.
January 12, 2021
I need the film one! I am literally a film student. If I don’t get him/her I’m already planning to trade or buy! YES!
January 12, 2021
Always one of my favorite parts of Breyerfest! Never a disappointment!
January 12, 2021
AHHHHH BREYER JUST KEEPS COMING!!!! I REALLY hope I can get one of these!
January 12, 2021
Oh my…..! 6,000?!???
Could 7 arts mean 7 variations? Can’t wait!!
January 12, 2021
Can’t wait to see this one. The possibilities seem endless.
January 12, 2021
I love that you are keeping the Surprise model a true surprise again this year. Last year’s surprise model was a lot of fun to see revealed as it arrived at the homes of collectors and I’m sure this year will be no difference. Thank you for all the great work you are doing to ensure BF 2021 is a great event!
January 12, 2021
Now this is the most creative “surprise” model ever!!
January 12, 2021
There’s gonna be 7!!!! thats a lot of surprise models! fingers crossed be see the Clevland Bay this year!!!!
January 12, 2021
WOW I’m excited to see these awesome models!
January 12, 2021
Can’t wait to see will it be hard to get.
January 12, 2021
All I want to know is what mold you plan to use. The mold is VERY important to an OF collector.

Has anyone seen the breyerfest ad on the Breyer site promoting ticket sales for Breyerfest, meaning the one with the show jumper done in the various colors? What if this is the surprise model?
