Here is what the BreyerFest Blog has to say about the buckskin Pintaloosa Carrick:

Today’s model is on another fan favorite mold, the Walking Thoroughbred, mold #724. ‘Carrick’ has appeared at prior BreyerFests including last year’s volunteer model, Caipirinha, as well as the surprise model Bonne Fête in our Silver Jubilee year 2014. This year he appears as a creamy Buckskin Pintaloosa and was designed by Karen Williams.

Breyer Cremello PInto Newsworthy BreyerFest 2017 Live Auction Model

Breyer revealed another BreyerFest 2017 Live Auction Lot. This one is the Newsworthy mold with the loose mane and tail. He is a cute cremello pinto with a pearly finish. Personally, I find this fellow a bit too metallic for my tastes but I’m confident that this flashy pony will bring a tidy sum in the BreyerFest 2017 Live Auction!

The Newsworthy mold is was last produced as the 9170 Connemara Pony who was part of the Best of the British Series. He came in two mold variations, one the loose mane and one with the braided mane. The 9170 Connemara Pony is now retired and Newsworthy is not currently being produced as a regular run.

Here is what the BreyerFest Blog has to say about the Cremello Pinto Newsworthy:

Today’s model is hoping to jump into a new home at the BreyerFest Gateway to India Live Auction! This Cremello Tobiano Pinto is on mold #712, the Hunter Pony. The Hunter Pony was first introduced in 2008 and is fondly known as ‘Newsworthy’. This model has the free-flowing loose mane option.

Eeeeeek! Can you believe that it is only 18 days until BreyerFest?! I need to get a move on! Breyer revealed this rather dashing appaloosa Flash as one of their BreyerFest 2017 Auction lots. He is a semi leopard appaloosa on what appears to be a blue roan or grey base color. I really like this one. Thank goodness I don’t collect Original Finish Breyers!

Here is what the BreyerFest Blog has to say about the appaloosa Flash:

We’re thrilled to introduce Sunday’s spectacular model!

This charming grey semi-leopard Appaloosa is on the Flash model, first introduced in 2004 as a portrait model of the United States Pony Club’s 50th Anniversary horse, the Morgan gelding Flash.

Aidan's Toy Trove Retail Store Grand Opening

I have been active in the model horse horse hobby since 1988. One of the first model horses that I remember buying was Breyer Breezin’ Dixie.

Breyer Breezin Dixie 711

I purchased my Breyer Breezin’ Dixie at a local tack shop in Wisconsin. Over the years, I sold and traded a number of model horses to expand my personal model horse collection which now numbers around 200. I was frustrated by the lack of online venues to sell model horses and opened an eBay Store.  Soon, I found myself needing help to keep up with the  shipping of the online sales.  I enlisted the help of my husband and now 10 year old son, Aidan. We were officially a family business now!

In 2015, we were selling Breyer Horses in such volume that we officially formed an LLC. Our inventory quickly filled our home from floor to ceiling. During the peak season, we were shipping 300 packages a month. A large number of our shipments were international and went to countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Russia and France. We are blessed to have happy customers all over the world!
