These horses and their friends have made memories that will last a lifetime!
One of the best parts about BreyerMidwest is that visitors have the opportunity to meet and chat with our Breyer artists during the weekend. In the last few months, we’ve introduced you to Stephanie Blaylock, Karen Y. Gerhardt, and Jennifer Constantine, and today we are excited for fans to meet the incredible Laura Skillern-Sailer.
Laura got her start as a model horse artist making custom Breyers over 25 years ago. Since then, she turned her little side hobby into a professional career, making and selling resins, props, and tack for the hobby.
She is the six-time winner of the Best Customs Contest, and finished in the top three two additional years of the contest, presenting absolutely incredible finished pieces for the judges.
· 2017 – Finalist, Most Extreme Custom
· 2018 – Winner, Portrait of a Champion theme class
· 2019 – Finalist, Performance Excellence
· 2020 – Winner, Pairs Well Together theme class
· 2021 – Winner, Performance Excellence
· 2022 – Winner, Most Extreme Custom
· 2023 – Winner, Performance Excellence
· 2024 – Winner, Glow Ups
Laura’s entries in the Best Customs Contest truly are examples of excellence in model horse artistry and we can’t wait to see what she has in store for the judges for 2025’s event! When you visit with Laura at BreyerMidwest, be sure to ask about her Historic Western Performance entry from 2023 and her winning entry from 2022 that defied gravity!
As well, if you’re familiar with the Breyer Premier Club, Laura is the incredible talent that sculpted the 2025 release Winnifred the Mule, and she sculpted the cantering Stablemate Morgan mold.
We are so excited that Laura will be joining us in our Artists Alley at BreyerMidwest this spring!
As a reminder, the event model, the glossy Marc of Charm, is only available for pre-order for pickup at the event. If you want to add this beautiful glossy model to your herd, which is limited to just 225 pieces, be sure to order yours here!
