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!
