Celebration Model:
Tight Line AKA Phish is this year's lovely celebration model. You can read all about him here. He even comes with an adorable 75 Years blanket. If I remember correctly it is not on the model in the box so hopefully no need to worry about rubs.
Ticket Model Stablemates:
Bellini, created on an adorable polo pony variation of the Thoroughbred mold (#5602PP) originally sculpted by Kathleen Moody.
Mimosa, a glowing palomino tobiano pinto created on the mini Indian Pony mold (#5751) originally sculpted by Chris Hess.
Cava, a deliciously glossy dapple bay on the Cantering Andalusian mold (#5731) sculpted by the incredible Maggie Jenner-Bennett.
Prosecco, done on the Playful Draft Stallion mold (#5759) sculpted by Sarah
Minkiewicz-Breunig. He's a gorgeous shaded black snowflake appaloosa.
I love all of these little guys. Much more than last year's general ticket models and that's saying a lot considering I love decorators.
Special Runs:
I'm glad I will be going in person this year with my SIL because I NEED this lovely spicy lady. She is definitely a stunning piebald mare on the Croi (Connemara) mold by Sarah Minkiewicz-Breunig.
Another flashy paint job on a mold a like and glossed! Yes please. I'm already seeing that I probably won't be able to keep my wanted list to a minimum. This mold was sculpted by Susan Carlton Sifton
This is another lovely set that I will need. Breyer always does a great job with glossing bays and I think this set will look great with my Bolero. My want list just keeps on growing. This lovely pair was sculpted by Rayvin Maddock of Khrysalis Studios
Be still my heart. This is the biggest must have if I ever had a holy grail I NEED no matter what model-this guy is it. He's my favorite mold in my favorite color with an adorable blanket Appaloosa pattern to boot. If Breyer does mirco runs this year, which let's be honest, they mostly definitely will; I can imagine the run for this guy being gold instead of the blue to represent Breyer's colors. He was sculpted of course by Kathleen Moody.
Here's our surprise horse logo. I, along with pretty much everyone else, believe Fireheart is the leading contender to be this year's surprise model. I would love/hate that because I do adore him and would want all the colorways. That being said, I think it'd be fun to see him in vintage colors; but that may just be me.
YOLO, you're name makes me cringe, but I do think you're pretty and will need to add you to my collection. I also think he looks similar to Wells from 2023. None the less, I love this mold and all things done by Kathleen Moody.
As far as vintage (and I mean VINTAGE) molds go I do think this guy is adorable. I only have one model on this mold (LaFitte) so yes, he is also a need for me. I think it's great he comes with two different hats too. He was sculpted by the infamous Chris Hess way back in Breyer's early hey days.
Bandalero got a new do. Morgen Kilbourn's new Criollo mold will be making his BreyerFest debut in this gorgeous dappled Palomino with a long mane. I adore Morgen's molds she's sculpted for Breyer, they're always a bit spicy. I think he'd look fun next to my dappled Palomino Samba Surprise horse from way back in 2016.
Our final SR model for this year is on the Collie mold. I was hoping for a dog (secretly hoping Breyer fixed the Rin Tin Tin mold and would shock us this year with his return) and we got one. Sculpted by Chris Hess back in 1956 and originally released as Lassie, I'll be thrilled to add this adorable pooch to my collection. PS: Breyer please release a Pug mold.
Limited Editions: These models are available to both In-person and Online attendees with the correct ticket purchase. You can read all about the different ticket types and their inclusions here and learn about the new master QR code here.
This is our first portrait model done on Kathleen Moody's Arabian Mare mold. I think she's a very pretty chestnut, but nothing I need at the moment. That could change over the next few months however.
Our second portrait model is a stunning Welsh Section C stallion. His model is on the new Cantering Welsh Cob mold by Eva Rossiter that was a part of last year's Premier Club. He's another must have for me.
Our third portrait model is a lovely dark buckskin Quarter Horse featured on the Hollywood Dun It mold sculpted by Carol Herden. This is the first time (that I'm aware of anyway) that Breyer has used a Freedom Series mold for a portrait horse. I think he's adorable and wish Breyer would switch the button the their shrink ray and enlarge this model so we can have a Traditional sized reining model
Our fourth and final portrait model is this absolutely stunning chestnut pinto on the Cleveland Bay mold sculpted by Karen Gerhardt. I think he's beautiful and will definitely need to get one. Insert the Tiger King I will never financially recover from this meme here.

Hullabaloo, done on mold #5627, is a miniature version of the 2015 Early Bird model C’est Bon

Soiree, done on mold #5744, is a miniature version of the 2015 Open Show Overall Champion prize model Crème de la Crème
Red Letter Day, done on mold #5608, is a miniature version of the 2015 Open Show Reserve Champion prize model Tout Suite
I don't know when I started collecting so many stablemates, but they take up so much less space on the shelf so I can always get more of them. I've been purchasing this set the last few BreyerFest's and plan on acquiring this one too.
I honestly don't know what I started becoming obsessed with Breyer's plushies. I know I really started collecting them in 2020, with a few here and there before that. I know regret not getting the plushie Oliver, so I'll be keeping an eye out for him. This guy is adorable and another reiteration of Pal O' Mine (remember Pal's Palette from 2021.) I'll be adding this guy to my growing plushie herd and we even get to pick the color of the Pom Pom hat we want. I'll be picking blue.
Our final reveal for the 2025 BreyerFest line up is this powerful looking crystal. Breyer miniaturized Kathleen Moody's American Saddlebred Stallion into this year's crystal. I only recall ever getting one crystal for sure and that was the Bouncer from 2020 I believe. I was one of the lucky ones' who received him in one piece. That being said, I'd be concerned that whether I purchased this guy in person or on line he might not make it home in one piece.
This beautiful leaping pinto is one of our ONLINE ONLY limited edition models. I both love this color and mold so he's a definite for me. He's featured on Morgen Kilbourn's lovely Bristol mold. Breyer has truly hit this year's models out of the park.
This adorable model is on the Giorgio mold (the stablemate version of Brigette Eberl's Georg mold) and is our second ONLINE ONLY limited edition model. He's another need for me. I might as well start signing my paychecks directly over to Breyer at this point.
