In the July newsletter, we are officially introduced to Chadwick the gorgeous palomino Emerson that I photographed at Breyerfest. I can't wait for his release, which Breyer just said will be in the fall, because this is a pony that I need. I'm hoping they are all glossy and that he's not a split like Breyer has been throwing at us a lot lately. While I'm not typically a glossy person (especially when it comes to greys) I do like palominos in gloss. My glossy Seurat and Georg will tell you that. Also in the newsletter was the giveaway, pony pouches this month. I'm not planning on entering since I don't really have a need for them, however good luck to those that do enter! One final introduction is Johann, another other reveal in the Collector Club tent at Breyerfest. This gambler's choice will include four different colors: bay, palomino (they always seem to have to include a palomino in the gambler's choice), bay appaloosa and liver chestnut pinto. I have one from each of the past Classics gambler's choices so I'm going to need one of these too. I'm especially smitten with the pinto, and if not, I'll be looking to trade. The pinto is who I received with both Nayati and Slyder so I'm hoping to continue the trend. Although not in the Collector Club newsletter, entries are being taken on the Collector Club page on Breyer's website right now for this beautiful gal. I never thought there was a more fitting mold for the Birds of a Feather series than Bristol. While I did downsize on my Bristol conga a while ago due to a lack of flashy colors on this mold, I still have my glossy Josie from Breyerfest, and I submitted my name for Peregrine, the next in the series, because she would fit right into my flashy herd. The color is spot on for a dun, which is one of my favorite colors too, and being an appaloosa helps. I especially love the mottling around eyes and muzzle. So far I haven't been pulled for a lottery model this year, so fingers crossed it'll happen this time. She's a nice Appendix type horse, or Sport Horse. I hope to see Bristol as the surprise horse one year because there are so many colors that she hasn't been made into yet, however I don't see it happening for next year's theme. Once some new colors are made on her mold then I'll be more likely to add her mold back to my collection, just as I did with Hamilton, because I love this mold. While originally made as a Warmblood, she reminds me so much of a Thoroughbred steeplechaser because of her light boned body that I can't help but to hope Breyer will make her the surprise at Breyerfest one of these years.
