Novelisto D

Yesterday we revealed champion Lusitano gelding Diablo DC was returning to BreyerFest, and today we have another Spanish horse to reveal – who is coincidentally owned by the same family as Diablo! This star has not been to BreyerFest since he was a Limited Edition portrait model in 2014 for BreyerFest: Silver Jubilee and is excited to see his fans again!

Novelisto D - standing in front of a white barn with open doorsNovelisto D, otherwise known as “Listo,” is a 16.3 hand PRE Andalusian stallion registered with the ILAHA and ANCCE registry. Bred by Denham Ranch and owned by the Waller family, Listo comes from old military lines. His impressive show record speaks for itself with titles such as National "Horse of the Year," Dressage, Hunt Seat, and many more including "Best of Breed."  Renowned Hollywood horse trainer Cari Swanson put many hours of hard work into Listo's training for all of his acting skills & stunts. In addition to the tricks, he had to learn how to take care of his riders and co-stars. He also underwent classical dressage training with Swanson to skillfully accomplish difficult riding maneuvers.

The payoff was well worth it, as the outcome was a feature part in Warner Bros. movie, Winter's Tale. Listo stared in this romantic film set in New York City with Colin Farrell, Russell Crowe, Jessica Brown Findlay, Will Smith, and many more. Most recently Listo starred in a Paramount+ commercial with Tim McGraw. The love that Listo embodies and brings to the set is powerful and soulful, and his magnetism draws you even deeper, making him so endearing to everyone he meets.

Listo, now 26 and slowly stepping out of the movie set spotlight, enjoys being pampered like the star he is and lending his incredible genes to future stars! In 2020 he was honored with the tile of USEF Sire of the Year and many of his offspring are starting to gain USEF titles of their own. Listo and the Waller family are excited for him to return to BreyerFest after 11 years and share some movie magic with fans again!

PS Listo is included in the actors credits for Winters Tale! How often does that happen?!!!

I loved the film Winter’s Tale. Thru the whole film I thought what a gorgeous horse the “white dog” was.If a horse could be a messenger from heaven it was that horse. At 26 he’s still gorgeous.

Beautiful and talented horse. I still think he should have been the 2014 celebration horse. He put on a good show and the Silver mold as Novelisto D should have been the celebration model that year. Silver Jubilee/Silver mold. Yes.
I am looking forward to meeting him again. So glad he is coming back this year.

I remember seeing him at BreyerFest 2014. He is an amazing stunt horse! I’m so glad he’s coming back!

Hey Breyerfest team 2025. Great job on the SR.,LR., models. The portrait models/ horses are amazing and so are the guest horses/and their people, for 2025. The return of some of the guest horses from past Breyerfest events is great too. It would be nice if you made a list of all these horses/people coming to Breyerfest 2025. (list the names)
So Breyerfest fans/ attendees can print them out. What I call an easy access list. Just a thought.
