Best of BreyerWest!
This past weekend, February 24-26, Breyer fans made their way to Denver, Colorado for BreyerWest, which was held in conjunction with the Rocky Mountain Horse Expo. Horse lovers of all ages were treated to fun model horse shows, free stablemates painting, workshops, daily raffles, and more!
The BreyerWest Open Model Horse Show kicked off our weekend in full force. The 60 competitors certainly made it hard for our judges to pin each class. Everyone came ready to win and showed wonderful comradery. Along with the Overall Championships, every year the Spirit Award is given to a competitor who shows outstanding sportsmanship, support, and excitement for other participants. This year’s winner was Heather M. for cheering on everyone, excitedly congratulating winners, and showing all competitors a high level of respect!

A special highlight of the weekend was that Friday volunteers were the first to meet the 2023 Breyer Volunteer Model, Chevaliere. Two of the three color ways were revealed, the beautiful bay and sunfaded black snowcap Appaloosa, with the third remaining a surprise for our BreyerFest volunteers later this summer.
Friday volunteers were excited to be the first to see this beautiful girl in person!
Attendees got a sneak peak of some of this year’s BreyerFest Special Run and Limited Edition models and lucky bidders walked away with some incredible offerings from the silent auction, which concluded Saturday afternoon. Some highlights of the auction included a Design Your Own Breyer; a glossy wedgewood pinto test deco for the Rotating Draft Surprise, BreyerFest: Prost’s Surprise model on the Cleveland Bay mold; and a grey sabino Pepper Special Run, who was part of the BreyerFest: Salute to Horse Heroes 1 of 30 micro run.

Saturday was also a day full of creativity, with free Stablemates painting, workshops, and artist meet-and-greets galore. We welcomed Breyer artists Maggie Jenner-Bennett, Jennifer Scott, and Melanie Miller on Saturday, along with Heather Puleo, Kristen Cermele, and Christine Jordan on Sunday. Heather Malone and Jackie Arns of the Mares in Black, and Hobbyist Joanne Cermele, were also on hand to answer everyone's questions about the world of the model horse hobby. Plus - what would be a BreyerWest event without cake? On Saturday, we celebrated the innovative work of Maggie Jenner-Bennett!
