The celebration horse for next year has been announced, and he's a Dutch Harness Horse, or KWPN. The breed is not only common as a carriage horse, as with the celebration model, but also the Amish use them as buggy horses. This is Bravour 54 whose model we will be able to add to our collections come July 2023! Just look at that sweet face! The choice of mold is causing complaints on social media because he looks too similar to last year's celebration horse, but the owner is happy with the mold, and that's all that matters. Personally the breed fits the horse well, although I understand the want for a more modern mold. I think Totilas or Idocus would have been a better fit, but maybe not Idocus since he is also a standing mold similar to Nikolas. Whatever we think though, the mold has been chosen and is what it is. At least they gave the Trakehner the modernized tail. While we won't see the Breyerfest special runs until after the first of the year, we still have club models yet to be revealed. I'm still waiting for Vintage Club to open (hopefully there will be at least one more sneak peek for that club before then) but am holding off on the Stablemate Club until they show the rest of the lineup, usually the last week of the year. Premier Club doesn't usually have any sneak peeks, although last year they did tell us about mini Georg and teased us with Anamar's head so who knows?

Agreed. As long as the owners are happy with how model turned out, thats is all that matters, at least they get a say in how their horse translates into a model. I do like the mold and i was surprised it wasn’t used sooner for a celebration horse or portrait model for breyerfest in general. When I looked up a few more photos and videos of Bravour, when I saw him standing I thought “my god! No wonder the owner’s thought it was a great mold for him. It does really seem to capture his essence.” Comments are closed.
