Our 2019 Celebration Horse!

Our 2019 Celebration Horse!

Our 30th BreyerFest Celebration Horse had pretty large horseshoes to fill with so many exceptional Celebration Horses over the years. With our theme, Salute to Horse Heroes, in mind we looked no further than our friends at the Kentucky Horse Park. Who better to salute, and to say a HUGE thank you to for 30 years of support at BreyerFest, than the KHP? 

One horse immediately came to mind – Oliver, Captain Lisa Rakes’ equine partner. As a member of the Kentucky Horse Mounted Police 11 year old Oliver (a Shire cross) certainly stands out in a crowd with black and white pinto pattern and his large stature. His friendly and curious nature has served him very well so far in the first six years of his career; he joined the unit at age 5. 

You might have noticed this dynamic duo at BreyerFest over the past couple of years - Oliver has been seen greeting guests in the morning. They also work many of the other prestigious events that happen at the Horse Park throughout the year. They do everything from leading parades and daily park patrols, which are Oliver’s favorite.  

Our Oliver’s model is on the Cleveland Bay mold, #703 and sculpted by Karen Y. Gerhardt, and beautifully captures his unique black and white pinto markings. 

As Captain Rakes says of Oliver “He loves people, loves being the center of attention, and is a great ambassador to the Kentucky Horse Park.” We couldn’t think of a better ambassador for BreyerFest 2019 Salute to Horse Heroes and we can’t wait for all of our guests to meet Oliver and Captain Rakes! 

The BreyerFest 3-Day Tickets will go on sale in early January and don’t forget that each 3-Day ticket comes with an Oliver model along with tons of other perks!

Do one day ticket holders get celebration models? Not for free maybe but can you still buy them directly from breyer and not other people?

Okay, I just want to thank Breyer so much for the amazing expieriences at Breyerfest and at home with their awesome model horses. I’ve wanted a horse ever since I knew what one was, and although I still do not own one, I have plenty of Breyers to keep me sane. Thank you so much.

I cant wait to attend this year. It will be my 1st breyerfest I’ve been dying to go since 1990 i remember wanting dr peaches & mustang lady i was lucky enough for Bentley sales co. Based in des plaines Illinois to set aside a Turbo model for me they were always so helpful to me as a kid they answered all my questions helped me find horses i wanted & put me in touch with other collectors in the area that took me to shows (i was only 10-13 then) I’ve had to put the model horse hobby on hold for the last 20 years but have restarted my love & excitement for collecting this past year & have started customizing & collecting models again. I’d love to start showing & hope i can at breyerfest!!! See you all there!!!! – megan trawick from Park Forest Illinois currently residing in Old.Orchard Beach Maine
