Get Ready for the 2024 Children’s and Youth Show!

If you’re 16 or under and are new to the world of showing your Breyer models, then the BreyerFest Children’s and Youth Show is the perfect place to get your start!

Registration is still open for this fun and educational model horse showing experience at BreyerFest, and the show’s experienced stewards and judges will help you along!

The purpose of the Children’s Show is to provide a novice-level fun show for children up to age 12. Breed classes are designed to teach children how to match models with breed assignments. Documentation is optional, but recommended for unusual breeds. English and Western Pleasure classes are designed to teach entrants how to correctly tack up and present a model and will be accompanied by helpful critiques to encourage each entrant to build on strengths and how to improve entries. The Scene, Most Loved, and Other Performance classes help teach entrants to develop an idea and present a model in a context, accompanied by a brief narrative of the scenario.

The purpose of the Youth Show is to build on the skills developed in the Children’s Show, and to prepare entrants aged 13-16 for the level of competition in the BreyerFest Open Show. Breed classes include a requirement for documentation of all breed assignments to demonstrate research skills. Performance classes are designed to enhance the entrants' skill in tacking up and presenting a model under saddle. Scene and costume classes provide an opportunity to develop a theme or idea.

Prizes and rosettes will be awarded to Overall Champs and Reserve winners, so grab your favorite models and get your documentation together!
