BreyerFest for the Horse Model Collector

BreyerFest is one of if not the biggest Model Horse show in the country. This year marked the 19th annual festival at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington Kentucky. For 19 years, thousands of people flock to this grand location to celebrate not only model horses but also the real horses that inspire them. And 2008 was no exception.

Roxy is the Breyerfest Celebration horse for 2009!

From the opening ceremonies on Friday morning to the close of the silent auction on Sunday afternoon, there seems to be a ton of activities to entertain all types of visitors. And of course every year, there is a Celebration model. This year it was Alborozo; an outstanding Andalusian stallion who performed flawless Dressage movements with his trainer/owner Avi Cohen of Kilimanjaro Ranch in Malibu CA.

For the very first time Breyer is taking an adventurous risk in the announcement that they are breaking this new mold of Alborozo after the event is over. There will be no more like this one made, ever. However, knowing Breyer, there are usually exceptions to the rules. At the auction, one and only one model, made on the Alborozo mold was auctioned off. This one was done in a beautiful Palomino color, custom painted by Karen Williams and went for precisely $13,500! The money was donated to three charities.
