10th February 2021 - 2021 Breyer Update
Following the most recent update from the UK distributor we would now say that our last estimate of early-mid April delivery may be more like mid-April than early.
We will have details of the 2021 standard and non-standard ranges soon so please keep checking back.
We won't be taking pre-orders this year to avoid disappointing customers but items will be available for sale to all as soon as they are with us!

1st February 2021 - BreyerFest Tickets are On Sale!
The wait is over and 2021 BreyerFest tickets are finally on sale! So much excitement!
As predicted the VIP tickets sold out within minutes, thousands of people tried but with only 200 tickets available it was always going to be competitive.
Thankfully though the All Access and General Admission tickets are still available, as are the four piece Stablemate sets! So if you just want to attend and are happy to take your chances with your special run choices don't worry too much, tickets are still there.
I managed to get a VIP ticket as well as an All Access Ticket (Brendon needs his bull)!
You can order your BreyerFest tickets here: www.breyerhorses.com/collections/breyerfest-2021-tickets
Below is Pollock, my favourite special run and the whole reason I wanted a VIP ticket!

29th April 2020 - Single Day Updates
Ever since Breyer announced that they would be moving BreyerFest 2020 to an online event there were a lot of questions about how the Single Day tickets would work.
Breyer released a statement on their website last week: https://www.breyerhorses.com/blogs/breyerfest-blog/single-day-tickets
Essentially you are buying the Stablemates, you get a few other benefits but they are limited. You have the choice to buy a set of four or gambler's choice.
The four Stablemates are still being announced. Make sure to keep an eye on the Chestnut Ridge blog for updates.
