Free Activities at BreyerFest!

BreyerFest isn’t just about shopping and getting your hands on all of this year’s Special Run and Limited Edition models. There are also a ton of free activities all weekend long that are open to all BreyerFest guests joining us in-person at the Kentucky Horse Park. We have free activities that are geared towards both kids and adults, families and groups of friends, and even the solo BreyerFest traveler.

Autographs with Guest Horses

Meet the real horses that inspire our models! From this year’s beautiful Celebration Horse, Athenian Lady, to the horses that inspired this year’s Limited Edition Traditional models (like Alan and Always Chipper!), and even some of the real horses that inspired the models from our regular line, you can meet them all weekend long at BreyerFest. Our autograph schedule will be published closer to the event!

Stablemates Painting

Design and paint your very own miniature Breyer model horse! Our Craft Tent is open all weekend long for BreyerFest guests to sit and paint their own Stablemates model.

All-Day Equine Entertainment

With hundreds of horses representing dozens of breeds and disciplines, you can spend all day long in the Covered Arena watching our guest horse presentations.  Plus, if you feel like sneaking some shopping in, you can also check out our Vendor Marketplace on the arena concourse!

Celebration Park

Celebration Park is jam-packed with activities for kids and adults - just cross the bridge between the Hands-on Hobby Tent and the Collector Club Tent and you’ll be in a world of fun, free things to keep you busy all day long! Whether it’s pony rides, the petting zoo, the Kids' Jumping Contest, getting silly with our circus entertainers from Big Fun Circus, catching the incredible skills of the Dock Dogs, or hanging out in the shade in our beer garden listening to live local music, Celebration Park has it all! 

Seminars & Film Series

Need a break in the air conditioning? Our BreyerFest Seminar series and the Equus Film & Arts Festival films are hosted in the cool and quiet Visitor Information Center Theater. Seminar sessions range from real horse topics to model horse topics and often include question and answer periods at the end.  BreyerFest’s partnership with the Equus Film & Arts Festival offers guests the opportunity to watch incredible equestrian-themed films created by both well-known and up-and-coming filmmakers. 

Hobby Center

Whether it’s your first time or your fifteenth time at BreyerFest, there is always something about the model horse hobby to learn in the Hands-on Hobby Tent.  Our volunteers are on hand to show you the ropes, whether it be making your own tack, learning about repairs, or just general hobby questions. While you’re there, you can learn about the world of model horse showing with our mock model horse show. Learn the difference between Halter and Performance, the nuances of breed assignment, and what it takes to be a Collectibility champ!
