We are thrilled to be able to welcome our newest Breyer Family members, our 2023 Portrait Horses, and select horses from previous years. We know with all these wonderful equines to help celebrate it's going to be the biggest Breyer party yet!
The triathlon of the driving world, Combined Driving tests the control, agility, obedience, and endurance of horses and drivers over three phases of competition – Dressage, Marathon, and Cones. International driver Misdee Wrigley Miller ended up finding the perfect addition to her four-in-hand team in Bravour 54.

The handsome bay KWPN gelding, known for his stylish movement and fiery, bold temperament, came to Misdee in 2017. Though Misdee wanted to bring Bravour back to basics and get to know him before having him join one of her teams, fate had other plans when one of Misdee’s horses unexpectedly passed away before the 2018 World Equestrian Games.

Bravour was then put to the test and on the fast track preparing for the games. Rising to the occasion, the quirky and talented horse proved to be a steady leader in all three phases, especially shining in Dressage. At the end of the day Bravour had helped the United States win its first Gold Medal in the sport and helped Misdee become the first woman to win Gold in Combined Driving at the World Equestrian Games! Bravour 54 has truly earned the title as Misdee’s “Golden Boy”!
Via Lattea
This Italian Trotter mare has turned heads on the track for more than one reason! Born in Italy, under the shadow of the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, this special mare became Europe’s first white trotter. Named after the white stars found in the Milky Way, she was bought by Tristan Sjoberg, who has indeed helped this special mare become a star on and off the track.
Via, who is no stranger to the spotlight, attracts the attention of trainers and press wherever she goes. Trainer Åke Svanstedt would say Via Lattea knows she is queen of the track and would rather get her picture taken than train!

Ending her successful racing career in 2019, which included a win in the $30,000 Bobby Weiss Series at Pocono Downs, Via Lattea has become a successful broodmare, even producing another white trotter foal in 2022!
HD Harkness
Poster boy for the “Carriage Pleasure Driving” page of the American Morgan Horse Association’s website, HD Harkness is no stranger from the spotlight. The handsome bay Morgan gelding has made quite the name for himself being an ambassador for Carriage Pleasure Driving.
Hark embodies all the fabulous qualities of the Morgan breed that make them so popular for driving - loyal, athletic, easy to train, and trustworthy all are apparent traits in Hark, even from a young age. Purchased as a two-year-old by Mary Chris Foxworthy, with a unanimous vote from friends and family, Hark started his driving journey.

FVA'S Grand Design
When you think of the Drum Horse breed, the first thought that usually comes to mind is a horse carrying a large set of drums in a parade. FVA’s Grand Design, known as Tilly in the barn, is breaking the mold and showing the world just how versatile the Drum Horse can be!
This stunning mare was orphaned at a young age, but quickly found herself a home at Jane Williamson’s Four Feathers Farm in Michigan. Tilly proved to be a natural at driving and took to both driving as a single or as a pair with no problem.

Four-time winner of the International Drum Horse Association High Point Show Winner, Tilly is certainly proving just how great of a driving horse she is. To add to this versatile mare’s resume, she has even completed a combined driving event, where she is one of only a few Drum Horses to have competed in this discipline!
Sweetwater's Zorah Belle
Some ponies are fast. Some are elegant. Others are powerful athletes. And if you’re Sweetwater's Zorah Belle, aka "Zoobie," you’re all three! The 2004 Norwegian Fjord became the first Fjord to ever be selected to represent the USA in any discipline at the 2019 FEI Combined Driving Pony World Championships in Hungary. With a long list of championships and wins, including: 2019 USEF Reserve National Champion and Reserve Horse of the Year Combined Driving Single Pony at the Advanced Level and 2021 USEF Reserve Championship in the Pleasure Driving Single Pony division, its no doubt Zoobie was truly a special fjord.

In Zoobie's honor her barn mate Sweetwater's Marmaduke affectionately known as "Duke" will be at BreyerFest representing the Fjord breed. The adorable 7 year old gelding is following in Zoobie's hoofprints in becoming a combined driving champion of his own! Some of his achievements include: first place Grand Oaks Combined Driving Event Prelim Single Pony and 2022 Reserve Champion USEF Combined Driving Preliminary Single Pony.

Nistar Blazing Kansas
Don’t tell Nistar Blazing Kansas that he can’t do something. Standing at 11.2 hands, “Kansas” competes in halter, trail, pleasure driving, and carriage driving for owner Cynthia Bellis-Jones of Fox Run Farm – often against Sporthorses much larger than him.
He’s been named a National Champion in the Welsh Pony & Cob Society of America (WPCSA), Pinto Horse Association, and the United States Dressage Federation (USDF). His dam, the beautiful and talented GFT Blazing Ethel owned by Wayne & Nina Sue Stark, was a champion driving pony herself and obviously passed on her winning ways!

Kansas is still currently nationally ranked the WPCSA’s #1 Section A Stallion, and the road to that ranking was paved in victory. He earned his Legion of Merit with the WPCSA in 2018. The following year he was named the organization’s Welsh of the Year. Kansas was also the United States Equestrian Federation’s Horse of the Year in 2018 and 2019…all in addition to being a three-time winner of the USDF’s Welsh All-Breed Award and three-time Grand Champion of the National Dressage Pony Cup.
Adamek
The Akhal-Teke was first imported to the United States by the late Phil and Margot Case of Shenandoah Farm. The Cases where champions of this rare breed, and one of the horses to come from their breeding program is the 2005 stallion Adamek (Gindarkh x Agniya). The great-grandson of Olympic Gold Medalist Abesent, Adamek’s incredible bloodlines trace back to Russia and Kazakhstan.
 |
 |
Now owned by the Akhal-Teke Foundation and trained and ridden by Sabine Desper, Adamek currently competes in 4th Level dressage and Training Level 3 eventing. In 2017, he competed at the USEA’s American Eventing Championship at Training Level, earning himself and Sabine their Blue Ribbon Award. With multiple #1 placings in both dressage and eventing at recognized shows, he and Sabine have their sights set on entering Prix St. George level in the near future. His versatility and athleticism, paired with bravery and a friendly personality, make Adamek a fine example of the Akhal-Teke breed.
Sporður frá Bergi
Many boast of being the complete package, but few can back it up like Sporður frá Bergi can! Pronounced, “Spor-dthur frow Bear-gee,” this Icelandic Stallion’s friends call him Sporður. Imported from Iceland in 2013, he now calls Kentucky’s Lettleiki Icelandics at Swallowtail Farm home. This five-gaited stallion has show-stopping gaits, incredible bloodlines, and a friendly personality to back it all up! Sporður also sports a flashy red dun pinto coat that makes his high-quality movements stand out even more in the show ring.

An athlete and breeding stallion, Sporður is passing on his unique coloring and powerful build to his offspring in the U.S. and Iceland. Like their sire, many of them have been rated “first prize” – the highest breed evaluation ranking available to the breed, which is based on conformation and movement. With his winning ways and high-quality offspring, Sporður is leaving his colorful mark in the world of Icelandics!
