BreyerFest Open Show!

We announced a few months ago that the BreyerFest Open Show would be expanding to two days, with specific classes happening on Thursday, July 10 and specific classes happening on Friday, July 11^th.  With model horse shows expected to be on sale soon, we wanted to give fans a refresher before sign-ups opened.  As a reminder, this show is only open to VIP and All-Access ticket holders, so if you don’t have your tickets yet, you can purchase them here.

As a reminder, if you’re participating in a model horse show, you cannot also participate in workshops taking place that same day.  Those activities run at the same time in different parts of the Alltech Arena and there is no way to do both, so please keep that in mind when registering for workshops when that opens in a few weeks.  You can review this year’s workshop offerings here if you need a reminder. 

Hosted by Michelle Masters, the BreyerFest Open show boasts over 300 classes, exclusive prizes, and is geared toward experienced showers.  The hall opens at 6:30 am either day for set up and the show will begin promptly at 7:30 am both days.  Please note this is new timing.

If you’re new, you can check out Breyer Boot Camp, which is an online show and taking place this spring.
