As of 2021, there are no longer Special Run timeslots. All-Access ticket holders may purchase the Special Run models that have been assigned to them, based on their preference forms, after the All-Access ticket buying period has closed in the spring.

If you're an All-Access ticket holder who purchased your tickets after the Preference Form deadline, or if your preferences were not available at the time your position in line was reached, you will receive Wild Card Special Run tickets in your ticket books, which can be redeemed on site at BreyerFest for remaining Special Run models. These models must be paid for at BreyerFest.
VIP Access ticket holders must pre-select and pre-purchase their Special Run models at the time of their ticket purchase, guaranteeing their selection. These models are at an additional cost to the VIP ticket price and you must buy two (2) Special Run models and two (2) Limited Edition models at the time of your VIP ticket purchase.

Unsubscribing from one email list unsubscribes customers from ALL our lists, so if you’re worried about getting emails, you can re-subscribe at www.BreyerHorses.com on the account creation page.
