These horses and their friends have made memories that will last a lifetime!
We are just seven short weeks away from gathering in Kansas for this spring’s BreyerMidwest event and we are so excited!
As a reminder, this year’s stunning Event model, a handsome glossy edition of Marc of Charm, is only available by pre-order for pick up on site at the event. This exclusive edition is limited to just 225 pieces and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. You can purchase yours here. Models can be picked up any time during the weekend at the Breyer tables in Kenwood Hall, where BreyerMidwest will be taking place at EquiFest of Kansas.
In addition to this handsome event model, on Friday, March 21 we will have a packed show hall bustling with activities! The Open Model Horse show, which is currently sold out, will get started at 9 am and fans are welcome to come and observe this fast-paced, competitive show. With over 200 classes, competitors will be showing off their models in both Halter and Performance divisions.
Also taking place on Friday will be our Stablemates painting activity! Free to all guests stopping by BreyerMidwest, Stablemates painting allows fans to paint their very own miniature Breyer model. Running from 9 am to 5 pm, this activity is great for kids of all ages!
On Saturday, March 22, get ready to roll your sleeves up and get crafty! All five of our incredible workshops are currently sold out, but we will have Stablemates painting again, all day! If you’re registered for one of our workshops, here is a quick reminder about your session time –
· 9:30 am – Adapting Realism to Fantasy with Christine Jordan
· 10:30 am – Pastelling Duns with Stephanie Blaylock
· 12:30 pm – Painting Flashy Appaloosas with Teddy Bates

All day Saturday, guests can stop by the Hobby Information Table and chat with artist and hobbyist Jenn Constantine about what the world of model horses is like. Jenn is a wealth of information and can’t wait to share that with you. Fans interested in the artistry of the model horse world can stop by our Artist tables to meet Laura Skillern-Sailer, Cynthia Wyatt Briley, Karen Y. Gerhardt, and Carrie Sloan Meyer. These incredible talents will be available all day to chat about their work, show off current projects, and create art in real time.
Saturday evening, the fun continues at our host hotel, the Holiday Inn Salina, for our combined Artisans’ Gallery and Swap Meet. Tables for sellers are currently sold out, but anyone can come and shop! This fun shopping experience will be open from 7 to 10 pm on Saturday, March 22 and we encourage you to stop by! You never know what fun treasures you might find.
Wrapping up the weekend on Sunday, March 23 will be the BreyerMidwest Youth & Novice model horse show, and day three of FREE Stablemates painting for guests. There are still spots available in this show if you want to participate, and you can learn more here! This show is geared towards both younger showers and adults who are new to the world of showing your model horses. This show is all about the learning experience and adults are encouraged to join in the fun! This show is not just for kids!
Also on Sunday, we’ve got model horse hobbyist Heather Jackson-Lain manning our Hobby Information Table and ready for your questions! Our Sunday artist lineup is also incredible – Jenn Constantine, Stephanie Blaylock, and Lesli Kathman will be on hand all day doing demos, answering questions, and showing off their work for visitors.
And capping off the weekend, we have a fun contest that anyone can participate in! After the conclusion of the Youth & Novice Model Horse Show, so probably around 3 pm (but we will know for sure that day), anyone in the BreyerMidwest area is invited to participate in a timed painting contest. Entrants will receive only supplies available at Stablemates painting and will have 60 minutes to paint their horse. Participants can enter one of three divisions – Realistic, Fantasy, or our Theme division, which we will talk about closer to the event! Winners will receive fun prizes from Breyer!
We can’t wait to host fans this spring at BreyerMidwest! It’s going to be an awesome weekend!
These horses and their friends have made memories that will last a lifetime!
