Breyer has released some new exciting new Stablemates exclusively just for Breyerfest! The excerpts are directly from the Breyerfest Blog, not my pictures.

"Éire is Irish for "Ireland" and has been derived from the name Ériu, the ancient matron goddess of this incredible island nation. Inspiring visions of rolling green hills, this eye-catching Irish Draft, mold #5740 sculpted by Eva Rossiter, has been done in green on a clearware model, with a shimmering gold interference and Celtic knotwork shamrocks on both hips. And if that wasn't enough, this handsome fellow has been topped off with a high-gloss finish." ~ Breyerfest Blog.

"We are only 6 weeks away from BreyerFest weekend and we have saved one of our favorite reveals for last: Series 1 of our new Best of BreyerFest Stablemates sets, where we've taken some of your favorite raffle prizes from previous BreyerFests and made them in miniature! This set will be available to all BreyerFest ticket holders as part of the offerings in our Fling! Souvenir Shop." ~ Breyerfest Blog.

"Included in this year's set will be "Kochab", done on mold #5729 sculpted by Josine Vingerling, which has been done as a miniature North Star, the Saturday Raffle Model from our Salute to Horse Heroes in 2019. Kochab is the second brightest star in the Little Dipper, second to Polaris - commonly known as the North Star." ~ Breyerfest Blog

"Also included will be "Gale", done on mold #5602 sculpted by Kathleen Moody, which has been done as a miniature Windswept, the Saturday Raffle Model from BreyerFest's Summer Carnival in 2006. We know this little one will sweep you off your feet!" ~ Breyerfest Blog

"We are also excited for you to bring home "Durham", done on mold #5607 also sculpted by Kathleen Moody, which has been done as a miniature Carlisle, the Saturday Raffle model from our British Invasion in 2012. Just like Carlisle, Durham is also a "cathedral city" in the north of England and boasts a massive cathedral and castle that date from William the Conqueror." ~ Breyerfest Blog

"As well, you'll get to bring home "Victoire", done on mold #5622 sculpted by Jane Lunger, which has been done as a miniature Que Sera Sera, the Saturday Raffle model from Vive la France in 2015. This little one has no time to just let things be and will surely take his place as the winner of your collection!" ~Breyerfest Blog

"And last, but certainly not least, we are pleased to round out this series with "Viaje", done on mold #5721 also sculpted by Jane Luger, as a miniature Viajero, the Saturday Raffle model from BreyerFest's Global Gallop in 2008. This little traveler can't wait to find his place on your shelf." ~ Breyerfest Blog

I'm really excited that they did use Corbin this year and that his a clearware decorator but I wish he was a realistic bay overo. If I have the money during Breyerfest I will be glad to pick him up but the Series 1 set of miniature raffle models is definitely my first choice! My favorite from this new Breyerfest set is a tie between Kochab and Vaije, they look absolutely incredible and I hope I have the chance to snag them! If not I'm going to be pretty upset, there after market value is most likely going to be absolutely insane.
