Ponies & Palm Trees Recap!
This past weekend 200 Breyer fans packed their bags and headed to sunny Florida for the Ponies & Palm Trees Collector Club event. Collector Club members were in for an amazing weekend exploring some exclusive barns in Florida’s equine paradise, Wellington. It was truly a weekend only Breyer could create!
Event Model Salvino, included with tickets.
To kick off the weekend, guests checked in and picked up their Event Model, Salvino, then headed to the evening White Party for some good food and a good time. Everyone looked like they were ready for a beachy weekend in their white attire. Guests had the chance to preview the Event Models and some club releases for next year while they mingled with old and new friends! To end the night, a few lucky guests bid on some amazing lots during our Silent Auction.
Day 2 was a full day of beautiful ponies! Guests had the opportunity to dive into the world of polo with polo professional Nic Roldan. We learned all about the fast-paced game while touring the beautiful Santa Rita Polo Farm. Guests got to enjoy an intimate polo demo with Nic followed by lunch among the horses at Pony Express Polo Stables.

Thank you Nic Roldan and your talented polo ponies for showing us the world of polo!
To continue the day, guests had the chance to tour TYL Dressage, which is home to Olympic Silver Medalists Adrienne Lyle and Salvino! We had the chance to tour the top-notch facility, meet some current and up-and-coming dressage stars, and have an opportunity to hear from Adrienne as she told Salvino’s story on making it to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Guests had the chance to get their models signed by Adrienne, hold a real Olympic medal, and get some one-on-one snuggles with Salvino himself!
To end the busy day guests were treated to a 3 v. 3 polo match followed by a traditional Argentinian Asado (BBQ) back at Pony Express. 20 lucky winners went home with this year’s raffled centerpiece: a beautiful bay polo pony, Afgana, who was inspired by one of Nic’s equine teammates!
To wrap up the busy weekend, guests had the opportunity to shop in the Breyer Boutique featuring limited edition models created exclusively for the Ponies & Palm Trees event.
We hope everyone had a wonderful time learning all about the wonderful world of polo and meeting some international dressage superstars! Thank you to everyone who helped make this event one of our greatest yet!
