Coming attraction: Next week I get to ride a Breyer horse

There are some things you want to do before you die, and one of the things on my list is to ride a Breyer horse. Not the toy, but the real-life model for the toy. Or perhaps I should call it a collectible. (We treat them like toys in our house.) There's a real-live Breyer horse model not far from here, at the barn where I haul Buddy and Lily for lessons. I asked the owner yesterday if I could ride her "Breyer Horse," and she said yes. Next week.

The horse is retired now. Should be just my speed.

In fact, she's going to let me do a whole story about her, her horse and her experiences at Breyer Fest in the Kentucky Horse Park, etc. Wouldn't that just be about the coolest thing to have your horse made into a model, and have people stand in line for you to sign it?

Stay tuned. There will be pictures.

Absolutely, I'm with you! As a breeder there's nothing more that I'd like than to have bred a horse that becomes famous enough to be a Breyer horse!!

That is so cool! I can't wait to read about it.

That would be quite cool! Looking forward to hearing about your ride!

Ugh!! You are leaving me hanging! Which Breyer is it? I have over 400 models I started collecting way back in the 70s--I was obsessed as a kid and still keep my eye out at garage sales--I like the old ones. I love your idea of riding a Breyer Horse---I will have to do that in my life time--I did meet Capello, the Abaco Barb Stallion. Looking forward to reading more:-)

I put a post up about your idea on my blog, wwww.equinemine.blogspot.com I think that is a such a great idea. IDEAL lives about 10 minutes from me, you got me thinking:-)
