The intersection of the real horse world and the model horse world, BreyerFest hosts thousands of families and fans that gather to celebrate the real horses that inspire our models. A truly unique experience, BreyerFest offers live equine demonstrations, meet & greets with our guest horses and their owners and trainers, model horse hobby workshops, seminars, and many hands-on Hobby demos bringing together all areas of the model horse world. BreyerFest is the perfect family festival. Guests spend the day meeting horses, taking pony rides, painting their very own Stablemates® model, and of course – shopping! There are many different shopping opportunities during BreyerFest weekend, so there is something for everyone!

The Covered Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park is the heart of BreyerFest. Here, you can find the BreyerFest store and all of our incredible Vendor Marketplace vendors.

The BreyerFest Store is located on the concourse of the Covered Arena and is the place to grab this year’s Limited Edition models, BreyerFest exclusive event merch, warehouse finds, Regular Line Breyer models, and where you can have your first taste of the coming Halloween and Holiday models. This store is open to all ticket holders. Limited Editions, select event merchandise, and Regular Line Breyer models will be available online for purchase as well, while supplies last. Limited Editions, warehouse finds, and Regular Line Breyer models will be restocked each day of the weekend, while exclusive event merchandise is put out on Friday morning only and is first come, first serve.
If you are looking to grab a specific Limited Edition or exclusive event merchandise, you will want to plan to get to the park early – each morning of BreyerFest, the first 300 shoppers in line at the ticket gate will have first access to the BreyerFest store. As well, all Breyer points of sale, including the BreyerFest store, are cashless so please plan ahead. If you do bring cash, there will be reverse ATMs onsite for you to turn your cash into visa gift card for free.

Looking for a unique gift or special souvenir? Our incredible Marketplace Vendors have you covered! Participating sellers offer items including jewelry, books, apparel, wood carvings, leather goods, and more. These sellers are located on the opposite side of the concourse from the BreyerFest Store (near Autographs), as well as in tented locations in the parking lot on the BreyerFest Store side of the arena. Please note that vendors may accept different payment methods than Breyer points of sale, so plan accordingly. In addition to shopping, you can also learn about different breed associations, equine health and wellness, and youth equestrian programs. A list of vendors will be announced in the spring.
