Happy Friday, everyone! After just releasing Breyerfest tickets, Breyer then decided to finally release Cooper, a gorgeous leopard appaloosa, to Collector Club members. He looks amazing without his tack on, and I wish I could purchase him myself because I love his loud color, but since we will be in between addresses next month, I'm offering him for sale in my store to someone who will cherish him. Next up is a test run available to Collector Club members only. I was a bit saddened to find out that Breyer had intended to release this guy as a regular run as a gold medal series, but they never ended up doing so, probably because gold Valegro didn't sell well. I love anything Thoroughbred and the gold tone shading is just stunning on this guy. I wouldn't have hestiated purchasing him at his regular run price but I can't afford his current asking price of $1200 right now. I'd much rather buy a real horse with that kind of money. Good luck though to anyone who enters! You only have until February 28th to put your name in. Collector Club members should have received the latest newsletter, and seen the sneak peek for the new Birds of a Feather series coming next month. This one looks promising, looks like either a stocky or draft mold. I'm hoping they'll release it later in the month so we'll have a mailbox put in by that time at our new house, because I do plan on entering for this one. I'm a sucker for anything flashy. The only "bird" I've won so far is Goldfinch, so I'd love to have another. I'm probably the last person to get him, but Dax is here! I'm astonished by how much the quality of the Stablemates Club horses keep improving year after year. I mean honestly it seems as if they'd eventually run out of colors! In the case of Dax, they may have. Doesn't he look like a shrinky of the variation Quill from Breyerfest 2019? (Picture used from IDYB for reference) My guy also had an oopsie in the form of the star on his forehead. It... well... is hard to explain but it is a little lighter than his chestnut color but not completely white like it should be. It isn't masking either. There is nothing to pick off. It just looks like the artist accidentally oversprayed the star with a lighter brown during one of the many layers it takes to make a dun colored horse like him. It's cool, and I love it. Sorry for the horrible picture (it was taken on my phone which doesn't have a macro setting) but you can see it on his forehead. He will be a keeper for sure.

I wonder if it'll be a Magpie since it's a pied color...I'd about die for an Old Timer in this color 😍
