Breyer Pearly Cremello Pinto Newsworthy – BreyerFest 2017 Live Auction Lot
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.
Breyer 9170 Connemara Pony – Loose Mane $54.95
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.

Breyer Appaloosa Flash – BreyerFest 2017 Auction Lot
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 – July 4th

Aidan’s Toy Trove Retail Store Grand Opening – July 4th
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.
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!
The year 2017 marks an exciting time for our still relatively small family owned business. We are opening a toy store in the little coastal town of Crescent City, California. Some of you may have traveled through here to visit the Redwood Trees and to see the ocean. Our toy store is called Aidan’s Toy Trove and is located at 280 I street. We have expanded our inventory to include hundreds of model horses and a large selection of specialty toys suitable for a variety of age ranges.
