Those of you who attended the Spokes and Spurs event... I'll admit I'm jealous of you all! This was the one event I really wanted to attend ever since Chasing the Chesapeake. Alas, it wasn't to be, but I sure do hope to attend an event one of these years. I'm hoping for something a little closer to Kentucky that isn't 9 hours or more away, but I think I'm hoping for too much since Breyerfest takes place in Kentucky and I think the wonderful people at Breyer are trying to include people in the hobby from around the country that maybe can't attend Breyerfest. I'm sure there are people that feel the same about Breyerfest, which I'm blessed to be able to attend, so I get it. I'm just mad about it :P Anyways I'm loving the pictures that people are taking. The horses are breathtakingly beautiful and the barns... oh my goodness! You could literally eat off the floor! Well, maybe not, but you get what I'm saying. These horses live in a better home than I do, and I'm always mystified at the architecture of each different facility. I've been to those fancy stallion barns here in Kentucky, and let me tell you, they are magnificent! As Red Pollard said in the Seabiscuit movie when he saw War Admiral's barn "I want to be a horse!" Amongst the photos of the amazing faciilities, I saw a pamphlet shared of the special runs available at this event. Each were $250 and, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that you were able to pick two of them per ticket, just like at Breyerfest. I don't have a picture of Wimpy in hand, but he is just as yummy as I thought he'd be! He was the main reason I wanted to attend this event to add him to my Bobby Jo conga, but after seeing the special runs, I could've used a few more. Usually I only like one, maybe two, of the event special runs. This year, I'm falling in love with that rose grey Esprit, the John Henry and especially the Misty/Stormy set. Not being able to have those is going to hurt, as I collect all of those molds. I'm really surprised at the vintage molds in this lineup, with only Faded Love and Ozark being newer. Maybe because of the cowboy and old west theme?
