BreyerFest 2023 Begins & a Giveaway!

Finally! The wait is over! BreyerFest begins today. I am watching the clock as I work in my office - I want to go downstairs and get showered and walk Pepper before BreyerFest opens online at 9:00.

All week I have been wearing Breyer tee shirts in preparation; today I will wear my 2023 volunteer tee in honor of the day.

Already I have made two exciting purchases, one of which I have been looking for for decades and came from my dear friend Simone Smiljanic's collection. The other was this gorgeous flocked pair of Running Mare and Foal, a 1984 JC Penneys Special Run.

My jaw dropped and I literally gasped out loud when I came around a corner and caught sight of them! They're here and safely ensconced on my shelves now. (I'll share more about these new models in a few days.)

There is SOOOO much happening this weekend, and I am going to add one more thing to it - a giveaway!

I'm teaching a virtual seminar on how to make a live show apron for BreyerFest, and in honor of that, I am going to give a show apron away to a lucky winner!

I may make one for the winner, or I may give away the one I wear in the video.

They're fun to make and the best part is choosing the pocket fabric.

Barn Buddy Kelsey modeling the one I made for her in the video.

Another one that I made for a hobbyist who requested I make three as she was giving them away as gifts.

The usual rules for a Horsiemama giveaway apply - only one entry accepted per day and enter by commenting on a blog post from the days entries are open (or by emailing me at horsiemama8@gmail.com). Entries will be accepted Friday, July 14 until 11:59 PM Sunday, July 16 and are open now!

Happy BreyerFest!
