Hello! Each entrant should read this entire show packet carefully. Any questions should be
directed to Show Manager Michelle Masters at breyerfestopenshow@gmail.com.
Please supply aprimary email when you purchase the show entry - it will be used by me only. I will periodically
be sending newsletters via email with reminders and announcements – be sure to add the show’s
email address to your contact list. If you are attending this show for the first time or coming
back after a hiatus, you should read the “Guide to Showing in the BreyerFest Open Show”; just
email me for it. If you are brand new to showing model horses, email me for the "What is a Model
Horse Show?" packet. You are also welcome to participate in Breyer Boot Camp, which is an
online model horse photo show hosted by Breyer on their partner platform, PonyBytes, whose
purpose is to prepare new showers for showing in person at the Open Show.
➢ Important Updates for 2024:
• I am very excited to announce a few changes to the show that should mean more
reasonable class sizes in some divisions and will definitely mean more prizes!
• First, in response to the explosion of entries in the Special Run division over the
past few years, I have split that division into TWO subdivisions, which means two
sets of Sectional prizes and two sets of Overall prizes! Please read the information
in the Special Run section of this packet carefully to know how this will work.
• Secondly, many of you asked for it, and I heard you! You will see that I have
expanded the CM Mini section into two sections with almost double the number of
classes we’ve had before and the addition of another set of Sectional prizes!
• Third, a special little surprise: there will now be TWO Overall champions in the
Collectibility division! After the first three sections, we will name an Overall Champ
and Reserve, then the next three sections will have their own Overall Champ and
Reserve. I have always thought that choosing between vintage/rare/unrealistic
models and modern/realistic/LR models for one major championship was such a
difficult challenge (apples vs. oranges, if you will), so now they will each have their
own championship, and the judges will confer to decide which model will win the
Shirley Ketchuck Memorial Trophy.
• One more fun surprise: The KHP has installed a new wireless projection screen over
the stage, which should improve the functionality of the show’s tracking chart, AND
there are two new screens on the short walls of the hall!
• NEW: Run documentation is now required in the Regular Run division. This is to
reduce the number of models entered in the wrong division. Refer to the divisions’
rules for specifics. And don’t be surprised if it’s required in the Mini and Foal
divisions next year!
• Some classes/class numbers have been adjusted, classes have been added &
rules/info updated; be sure to use this year’s classlist and read everything!
2024 BreyerFest©
Open Model Horse Show
Information Packet
➢ The hall will open at 6:00 AM; judging starts at 7:00.
➢ The roster of judges for this year's show will be finalized sometime in February and will be
emailed to everyone with the first email newsletter.
➢ There are concession stands in the Alltech Arena building, but the choices are limited and
somewhat pricey, and the lines can be long and slow. Breyer has no control over this; they
are run by the KHP. I strongly recommend that you bring your own breakfast/lunch,
snacks and beverages. We will take one 20-minute "stop everything" break when the staff
lunch is served, but you will not have time to leave the building to get food.
➢ DIRECTIONS to the show hall: after you enter the park, go about 2/3 of the way around
the traffic circle to turn right on Cigar Lane. Go straight down that road to the end (before
it becomes a private drive) to a left turn onto Walt Robertson Road. This is the side of the
Alltech Arena where our hall is; it’s marked “North Exhibit Hall”. If there aren't any
parking spaces right outside the hall, you can park at the curb to unload but then you
must move your vehicle to the main parking lot in front of the building.
With tales of triumph and survival, this year’s BreyerFest promises to be an inspiration
as well as the wonderful celebration of the horse that we love. See you there!
Michelle Masters,
BreyerFest Open Show Manager

➢ 2024 FUN CLASSES! These classes truly are for fun; any models brought for these
classes do not count toward your limit & do not need to be registered. One entry per
person per class, staff members are allowed to enter, Your Show Manager will be judging
and there will be "fun" prizes!
* Ten Year Reunion: from 2014’s Silver Jubilee; celebration horse Gooitzen fan
Teakesyl – model can be shown with program, collector’s card, button, photos, or any
other celebration horse memorabilia.
* Manager's Special: Black Out! 2024 will bring us a total solar eclipse on April 8th.
Let’s commemorate this rare occasion with your favorite solid black model. OF or CM, all
scales are welcome, minimal white markings are okay, but no paints, pintos or appys. And
no cross-entry of Gooitzens!
* It’s a Leap Year Too! For this class, bring your favorite leaping (jumping) model! OF
or CM, all scales are welcome. To add to the fun, show your model jumping over
something creative or crazy, like a pile of candy, another model or maybe a cactus!
* CollectA ExtravaganzA: since the CollectA section has been eliminated, we’ll have an
open CollectA class here. Any CollectA model (doesn’t have to be a horse) is allowed to
enter, and the 1st and 2nd place will get a new CollectA horse!
General Show Rules and Guidelines:
1. This show is for Breyer models ONLY.
2. Each entrant that purchases a full table is limited to registering 60 models total. Each
entrant that purchases a half table may still register up to 60 models, but no more than 40 can
be Traditional size (this does not include ponies or foals). Full table space is 30” x 8’; half table
space is 30” x 48”. If you purchase a half table, it is strongly recommended that you mark out
this space at home to determine how your models will fit comfortably; include any other items
you might need with you on the day of the show. Keep in mind that half table entrants are also
limited to half of the space under the table as well.
3. Each entrant is limited to showing two models per halter class (the SR subdivisions have their
own limit rule) and two models per performance class.
4. Each model is limited to one halter class, whichever class is most appropriate for them.
5. Models made of porcelain/china, resin, bronze or crystal are not eligible to show in halter or
performance, but you are encouraged to consider entering those models in the BreyerFest
Breakables show or the Resin Renaissance show. More information about these shows can be
found on the Breyer website.
6. Any model that won any Overall Division Champion or Reserve at any past BreyerFest Open
Show must be retired from that division and cannot show again at a BreyerFest show, even if
ownership has changed. Overall Champ/Reserve in Halter can still show in Performance and vice
versa. Sectional Champs/Reserves do not retire, and BreyerWest overall champs can still show at
BreyerFest. Overall Champs/Reserves from the 2020/2021 Virtual Shows do not need to retire.
7. All models registered for the show must be wholly owned by the individual entering them. No
co-owned or syndicated models are allowed to enter. The only exception to this rule is for familyowned models; any member of that family may show the model.
8. There is no proxy showing at this show. Proxy showing is defined as registering and/or placing
a horse in a ring that does not genuinely belong to you. All entrants must put the horses they
have registered as their own in the show ring. If you need to leave the hall for a while, you can
have someone enter/remove your horses; please notify the Show Manager if you do this.
9. Immediate family members of a judge may not enter the division that she/he is judging.
10. Entrants may not show any model that has ever been owned by the judge of that model’s
division.
11. No dogs or other animals are allowed in the hall, except for service animals, and they must
be properly certified and kept on a leash no longer than 6’ in length.
12. All Divisions (all Halter and Performance) will run at the same time, in different rings.
Please plan your entries so that you are not overwhelmed by the size or pace of the show.
13. It is the entrant’s responsibility to keep track of which rings you are showing in and which
classes are being held. Two announcements are made for each class (a first call and a last call),
there is a tracking chart to assist you, and each division has a ring steward that can answer
questions. Once a class is closed by the ring steward (there will not be a “class closed”
announcement), you cannot put a horse in the ring, and we cannot repeat a class. There will be
green Open signs so that you will know the class in the ring is being set up and red Closed signs
so that you will know when they are being judged.
14. It is the entrant's responsibility to put their models in the appropriate class according to
their breed, type, run, etc. You should get all of your questions about class placement answered
before the show. If you still have a question after checking the Breed and Run Classification
Lists, email the Show Manager.
15. Models entered into an incorrect class will be disqualified, and a DQ marker will be placed
near the model. If the correct class for the model has not been held yet, you can re-enter the
model as long as you don’t exceed the two horse per class limit. The ring steward can explain the
disqualification if they have time.
16. It is the entrant’s responsibility to be sure every model placed into a showring has a proper
tag with an assigned number. Instructions for making tags will be included in the registration
information. If a model is in the ring with no tag, it’s very likely that it will be overlooked.
17. You should expect that many of the classes will be very large. All entrants are expected to be
considerate of others when setting up entries - do not take up more space than needed and do not
put a model in a place that blocks the judge's view of another entrant's model. You may have to
set up your entry down the middle line of a table; don’t worry – the judge will be able to see your
entry. Notify the ring steward if you can't find a spot for your model. Do not touch or move
anyone else’s model to make room for yours.
18. Entrants and spectators must not linger around the show rings when a class is being judged.
Once the class is closed, please move away from the ring so that the judge is free to move around
the tables.
19. Asking questions of a judge is only appropriate in performance classes and must be about
your entry only. Questions should be specific and intended to assist you in improving your entry,
not to force the judge to justify the placings.
20. For the purposes of this show, the terms “Classic” and “Freedom Series” are interchangeable.
21. NO sales of any items are allowed at the show. Additionally, flyers and/or signs promoting or
advertising sales are also prohibited.
Awards: Flat ribbons are awarded 1st – 10th in all classes. 1st – 6th in Collector’s Class receive
rosettes. Rosettes are awarded to all sectional champions and reserve champions. Overall
Divisional champions and reserve champions receive large rosettes. Breyer prize models for
sectional and overall champions & reserves to be announced.
The BreyerFest Open Show will be re-applying for membership in the N.A.M.H.S.A. and should
be a NAN qualifying show for 2024.
Definition of Original Finish: An Original Finish (O.F.) model is any Breyer that has not been
altered in ANY way after leaving the factory. Changes that are not allowed include but are not
limited to: application of a glossy finish, any product intended to make the finish shiny, clear nail
polish or black paint to eyes or hooves, or any removal of paint. Minor touch-ups, like those done
to rubbed ear tips or hooves, are acceptable but many judges will disqualify models if the
restoration is obvious or extensive.
Halter Class Rules
1. Classes may be split at the judge's or show manager's discretion and could be split for reasons
other than the number of entries in the class. The two-horse limit would still apply; you can only
enter two horses total between the two new classes. If a class number is split (A/B, etc.) in the
classlist, that is considered two separate classes.
2. Halters and other tack/accessories are NOT allowed unless it is part of the mold.
3. Horses are not to be shown in or with their box (except in class #310), or anything else that
they came with (except bases). Horses are not to be shown in halter classes with props
(backdrops, fencing, scenery, etc.), or "footing" (pieces of felt, cloth, etc.), with leg wraps,
blankets, etc. Any type of base used to make a horse stand is acceptable.
4. If a model has a tendency to tip over, you may show it lying down. You can use a piece of
felt/towel/cloth/pony pouch for the model to lie on, no larger than 12” x 14” Solid colors are
recommended. Please note that when you lay a model down, you are giving the judge (and only
the judge) permission to pick the horse up to look at both sides.
5. There is a Breed Classification List that you must follow to determine where to show your
horse (which class), based on the breed(s) you’ve assigned to it. It should be posted on the Breyer
site, on the Model Horse Shows page, and I will email it to all registered entrants.
6. All horses must have a specific breed on their ID tag. "Pony", "Draft", "Warmblood", or
"Mixed", for example, are NOT breeds. You must state what specific breed of pony, draft, or
warmblood. For Mixed breeds, you must state what specific breeds the horse is a mix of, as in
Quarter Horse/Thoroughbred.
7. Uncommon breeds, as well as unusual/rare colors or patterns on a common breed, may be
accompanied by a description and/or photo no larger than 8 ½ x 11”. Lamination or page
protectors are allowed.
8. When preparing documentation to put in the show ring, do not plan to put a whole book on the
table. Please make a copy (black & white is fine) of the single page you wish to use. Whenever
possible, name your source on your breed documentation (the name of the book/website where
you got it). Note that breed documentation is not the same thing as run documentation or a
Certificate of Authenticity, and breed documentation is not required in any class.
9. There is a Run Classification List to assist you in determining which division/section is correct
for your Traditional model (other scales are not on the list yet). It will be posted on the Breyer
site, on the Model Horse Shows page, and I will email it to all registered entrants. For Freedom
Series (formerly known as Classics) and Stablemates, the website www.identifyyourbreyer.com
can help you determine your model’s run, or you can email me (Show Manager) before the show
and I’ll be happy to help you. Our info table will have reference books and catalogs if you need to
check something on showday, but please do not wait to determine which class is correct for your
horse. Horses that are in the wrong class will be disqualified.
10. "Longears" refers to donkeys and mules.
11. “British Isles” refers to England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Ireland.
12. For clarification of “Mustang” breeds, refer to the Breed Classification List.
13. “Source” (in reference to documentation) refers to where to model was originally made
available.
Regular Run Halter Division Rules & Info:
1. The Regular Run OF Halter Division is for Traditional and Freedom Series (formerly known
as Classic) scales.
2. This division is for models listed by Breyer in their yearly and mid-year catalogs. Models that
qualify for the Special Run or Collectibility division are NOT allowed in this division.
3. The Run Classification List will clarify classification for many runs of models, but most
Regular Runs are not listed. Check there first; if you are still unsure, contact the Show Manager.
4. Models considered to be “variations” of a regular run model should be shown in this division.
Please email the Show Manager to confirm your model qualifies to show in Regular Run if: a
model is a major variation (obvious goofs, factory releases or uncommon variations), a rare
Regular Run (especially vintage models), or if your model is an uncommon “Warehouse Find”
(most of these models are variations rather than small runs, but it doesn’t hurt to double-check).
5. Breed documentation is allowed (but not required) in this division.
6. Model run documentation is required. All you need is the Breyer name of the model and
year(s) produced. This should be no smaller than a business card and no larger than 8 ½" x 11"
and may be laminated or in a page protector. Handwritten is fine, as long as it’s neat and easy
to read. You can add a brief explanation if the model is a variation or an oddity. Please follow the
honor system when representing your model as a variation, such as not showing it as a regular
run variation when it is actually a reissue or prize model.
Special Run Halter Subdivisions Rules & Info:
1. Think of this as one division with all split classes when you plan your entries: you may only
show two models total in any class. For example, you can show one horse in class #201A and one
horse in class #201B, or you can show two horses in class #201A OR two horses in class #201B.
The two subdivisions will run simultaneously in their own rings.
2. The “A” subdivision is for models from All sources EXCEPT BreyerFest and BreyerWest. The
“B” subdivision is for models from BreyerFest and BreyerWest, including celebration horses,
Store Specials, Online Specials, and ticketed Special Runs. The “A” subdivision includes all other
sources, such as Collector’s Club or Web exclusives, Connoisseur series, Premier Club, Brick and
Mortar/ Flagship, Tractor Supply Company, Breyer events, QVC, JC Penney’s, etc.
3. The Run Classification List will clarify classification for many runs of models. Please check
there first to confirm that your model is a Special Run and determine which subdivision is
correct (A or B); if your model is not on the list, contact the Show Manager.
4. The Special Run OF Halter Division is for Traditional and Freedom Series (formerly known as
Classic) scales.
5. This division is strictly for models that are limited in number and availability, and do not
appear in the regular catalogs. Models that qualify to show in Regular Run or Collectibility
(especially Limited Run) are NOT allowed in this division.
6. Special Runs, Store Specials, and Celebration horses exclusive to 2024 BreyerFest are not
eligible to enter.
7. Breed documentation is allowed (but not required) in this division.
8. Model run documentation is required. You may show models with their original (no copies
allowed) Certificate of Authenticity (COA) or other documentation that provides background
information on the model's origin. However, COAs are not required; all you need is the Breyer
name of the model, the source of the run, year produced, and number of models in the run, if
known. This should be no smaller than a business card and no larger than 8 ½" x 11" and may be
laminated or in a page protector. Handwritten is fine, as long as it’s neat and easy to read. You
can add a brief explanation if the model is a variation or an oddity or if it's an older or obscure
run that a judge may not be very familiar with.
Collectibility Halter Division Rules & Info:
1. All models must be factory original finish. Any model that qualifies to show in this division
may not show in any other halter division.
2. The One-of-a-Kind (OOAK) classes include test colors, BreyerFest or other event Auction
models, “Create Your Own” models, factory/artist proofs/prototypes and major goofs.
3. “Limited Run” is defined as models that were produced in runs of 160 or less. Note that prize
models are not eligible to compete at BreyerFest until the year after they are awarded.
4. Any Volunteer models exclusive to 2024 BreyerFest are not eligible to enter. Volunteer models
distributed at 2024 events held prior to BreyerFest are eligible to enter. Note that all Volunteer
Models should be shown as Limited Run, even if the run is known to be more than 160.
5. The Run Classification List will clarify classification for many runs of models. Please check
there first to confirm your model’s run; if you are still unsure, contact the Show Manager.
6. Breed documentation is allowed (but not required) in this division.
7. Model run documentation is required. You may show models with their original (no copies
allowed) Certificate of Authenticity (COA) or other documentation that provides background
information on the model's origin. However, COAs are not required; all you need is the original
source of the model, year made, name (if it had one) and number of models in the run, if known.
This must be no smaller than a business card and no larger than 8 ½" x 11" and may be
laminated or in a page protector. You can add a brief explanation if the model is a variation or an
oddity or if it's an older or obscure model that a judge may not be very familiar with.
8. Horses may not be shown with their box; judges are aware that having the original box with a
model does add to its collectibility, but they have asked to judge the model on its merit alone.
Models in their original package may opt to show in class #310.
9. Due to the wide variety of breed-correct molds and detailed finishes used in Limited Run
models, the Limited Run sections will be double-judged (except class #326 A/B). One judge will
judge for breed standards and one for collectibility, and a sectional champion & reserve will be
named for both categories.
10. Documentation of provenance is required for all random or OOAK clearware pieces.
11. This division will have two subdivisions; the first three sections will be awarded an Overall
Champion and Reserve, and the last three sections will be awarded an Overall Champion and
Reserve. The Shirley Ketchuck Memorial Trophy will be awarded in a judge-off between the
Overall Champs and Reserves of both subdivisions.
Specific Collectibility Class Rules:
Classes #303, 304, 305: for all Regular Runs and Special Runs. Limited Run cows, calves, dogs,
cats and other realistic animals should show in class #326B
Class #309: for models with tack that is part of the mold or with plastic saddles (such as the
Western Prancer), not holiday horses with their costumes/decorations
Class #311: for models made before 1995 that are in their original blister pack or in/with a rare
or collectible box
Class #312: models shown in this class cannot enter another halter class
Class #313: for realistic color models that are generally not competitive in the breed classes of
the Regular Run or Special Run divisions, such as the Family Arabian or Running Stallions/
Mares, Grazing Mares, Old Timers, etc. You can show these models in their breed class or this
class, but not both.
Classes #316-319: “Vintage” is defined as models produced from 1950 - 1979. “Modern” is defined
as models produced from 1980 – 2024.

Huckleberry Bey, Leif, the "Pink Ribbon Horse", etc.

If a model is translucent AND has a design (such as Old Glory or Sugarmaple), it shows here.
Class #324: chalkies & pearlies may choose to show here for collectibility, or they may choose to
show in their breed class, but they can't show in both; these classes include chalky/pearly nonequines. Note: “pearlies” are models whose basecoat is shimmery/pearly. They were made of an
experimental plastic in the 1970s and are totally different from the pearlescent paint that Breyer
has been using more recently.
Class #325: models released from the factory unpainted or unfinished, can be whole body or
part(s) that are unpainted

Class #328: includes unrealistic pattern (for example, wild/splatter dapple gray/black)
Class #328-#329: “Vintage” is defined as models produced from 1950 - 1979. “Modern” is defined
as models produced from 1980 – 2024.
Customized Halter Division Rules & Info:

as repainting, adding hair mane/tail, sculpting, repositioning, removing paint, remaking in any
way, adding resin or other parts, or extensive restoration.

4. This section does award the sectional prizes for champion & reserve, but winners are not
eligible for the overall divisional championship.
5. This section will be held in Ring #19 as time allows. An announcement will be made in
advance of the start of the section. These classes will be held if an entrant is showing a model in
an Open CM class since these models are allowed to enter both.
6. NEW: Beginning with the 2023 show’s results, the Champion and Reserve Champion of this
section must retire from the A/O section but are still eligible for the Open CM division.
Foal Halter Division Rules & Info:

the Regular Run or Special Run division, such as the Scratching, Grazing, and Lying Foals.
Foals entered in this class may not show in any other class with the one class per model limit.
4. Class #537 is for foals in their original package or with a collectible box.

Mini Halter Division Rules & Info:
1. The Mini division is for original finish Little Bits/Paddock Pals, Stablemates, and Mini

porcelain or resins allowed to enter; customized porcelain/resin models are allowed to enter.
3. No set-ups are allowed in pleasure classes (English, Western, saddleseat or harness). A “setup” is defined as any fence, arena wall or other vertical backdrop, and/or any decorative props.
“Footing” (cloth, board, etc. designed to resemble arena footing) is allowed but should be no

but should not block the judge's view of both sides of your horse and must not block the view of
other entries.
4. Cross-entry is limited to two classes outside of the horse’s main section. For example, a horse
may show in all of the classes in the English section, plus two classes in the Western section or
one in Western and one in Miscellaneous.
5. There will be a basket of wooden disks on all performance rings; the disks are red on one side,
and green on the other. Every entry should have a disk in front of it turned to the red side while
the entry is being set up, then flipped over to the green side when the entry is ready to be judged.
The performance judge will have the option of looking at entries as soon as the green side shows
they are ready. You will still have the entire set-up time, and there is no penalty for taking all of
the time allowed.
6. Performance entries are limited to a 24”x24” or 18”x30” space; Over Fences and Stockwork
entries may use a 24" x 30" space. The only exception is a multiple-horse (more than 2) hitch
harness or a draft harness entry with a large wagon/cart. Any other entry that does not meet
these space limitations must be approved in advance by the Show Manager.

chance to move horses over from the previous class. Once a class has been pinned, there will be
ten minutes to finish setting up the next class. The ring steward may allow extra time if it seems
necessary and reasonable, but classes will not be held for one entrant.

Novice Performance Section Rules & Info:
1. The Novice Performance division is designed to be a learning experience for those who are new
to showing performance at the open level. The judge will be giving a constructive critique, helpful
hints, and answering questions after each class has been judged.
2. The Novice Performance entrant MUST do all of the tacking-up and setting-up of entries
entirely themselves. They may receive NO help on the day of the show from any other person. If
an entrant is seen receiving assistance from another person, they will be permanently
disqualified from this division.
3. Breyer tack/props or tack/props made by the Novice shower are acceptable in this division.
4. Novice performance showers may show original finish Breyers or models customized entirely
by themselves only; any scale is allowed.
5. A Novice is defined as an entrant who A) has never shown performance at any NAMHSA
National Championship (NAN) show, B) has never shown performance at the Open level of any
BreyerFest or BreyerWest show, C) has never won an Open performance champion or reserve at
any live model horse show, and D) has not won an Overall Championship in the Novice
Performance division of any BreyerFest show

this division if you do not qualify. You should enter the Open classes if you do not honestly meet
the requirements above.
8. A shower cannot enter the Novice section and Open Performance division in the same year.
Once you move up to Open, you cannot go back to showing Novice.

is called, a ring steward will monitor to determine when it appears everyone has had sufficient
time to set up before the class is closed.
13. No classes will be held for horses showing in Halter. It is recommended that you do not try to
show a horse in both Halter and Performance.
Collector's Class Guidelines:
The Collector's Classes are four special classes where exhibitors display a group of models. These
classes are not the same thing as the Collectibility classes; they are separate from the other
divisions and have their own rules & guidelines.
You must pre-register on your original registration form to enter. If you do not pre-register, there
will not be a space for your entry on show day. If there are any changes to your plans, please
contact the Show Manager before July 5th. You may only show one collection per class, but you
can enter Commonality, Variety and Stablemate, or any combination of the three. Novice
entrants can also enter the Stablemate class but cannot enter Commonality or Variety. All
classes will be judged at the same time; there is NO cross-entering of the same model in more
than one collection.
Commonality Class: This class is for models that have something in common about the way that
they were made, such as collections of the same mold (including variations of a mold, such as
models with modified manes or tails) OR collections of models in the same color (including glossy
& matte versions of the same color, random variations such as different leg or face markings,
and families of colors such as wedgewood/copenhagen or solid silver/filigree). This class would
include entries of all flocked models, all clearware/translucent, all chalky, etc.
Variety Class: This class is for collections with any assortment of molds and colors, such as
collections of models from the same event of different years, different molds representing the
same breed, random vintage models, etc. Collections in this class should represent the “variety”
of models that Breyer has produced over the past 70 years. Ideally, judges would like to see
models from several decades, a variety of sources, and more than one type of run. The inclusion
of at least one non-equine model is encouraged.
Stablemate Collector’s Class: This class is for Stablemates ONLY, but the collection can be
either Commonality or Variety. Any original finish Stablemate scale model can be shown,
including porcelains.
Novice Collector's Class: Entrants in this class must not have won a Collector's Class at ANY live
model horse show, nor shown before in the Open Collector's Class at any BreyerFest show. The
winner of any previous BreyerFest Novice Collector's Class must now show at the Open level.
Novice entries can be in the style of either Commonality or Variety.
NOTE: all collections may have a "theme" - all appaloosas, all mares, all raffle models, decorative
motif, etc. They should still be shown in the class best suited for the collection of models being
shown. If you are not sure which class to enter, please contact the Show Manager before the
show.
Collector's Class Rules & Guidelines:
1. Your reserved space will have your entrant number on it; leave your entrant number on your
collection. Do NOT put your name anywhere on the entry.
2. You are allowed to enter Collector's Class models in the regular Halter classes, but classes will
not be held. Any model that is entered in a regular Halter classes must be registered and
included in your limit. Models that show in Collector's Class only do not need to be registered.
3. The Collector's Class will consist of 10 - 12 models per entry. Collection with more than 12 or
less than 10 will not be judged. Any combination of regular run, special run, discontinued, test
run, etc. may be presented. NO customized models are allowed. Lamps, clocks, etc. may be
entered. Sets of models will be counted individually (mare and foal = two models), even if they
are mounted together on a base or lamp. Models may be non-equine.
4. Collections can include any medium of original finish model, including plastic, china/porcelain,
resin and crystal.
4. Collections will be limited to a 30” deep x 36” wide space on the showring table as indicated on
the master schedule. No free-standing set-ups (off the table) will be allowed. You may bring
shelves, risers, etc. (there is no height limit), as well as table covers/dressings, but you MUST
stay within your allotted space on the table.
5. Any extras shown with a model (boxes, hang tags, pins, dolls, tack, etc.) must be Breyer
products. COA's may be shown with models but are not required. Items used as decorations may
be non-Breyer products. Any models used as props or decoration will count toward the limit of 12
unless marked that it is not to be judged.
6. You must provide documentation (on a small card per model) for each piece as to its
history/origin and the year(s) it was produced.
7. Collector's Classes will be judged by a panel of three judges and a total point score used to
place the classes 1st through 6th. Ties will be broken by a judge-off with all three judges.
8. In all classes, rosettes are awarded to 1st – 6th place. In the Commonality and Variety classes,
1st & 2nd place receive divisional prize models. In the Stablemate and Novice classes, 1st and 2nd
place receive sectional prize models.
9. Since Overall Champions and Reserves of other divisions are required to retire from showing,
there is a similar policy in place for Collector's Class. If your collection places 1st or 2nd, you will
need to choose half of the models in the collection to permanently retire from showing in the
Collector's Class they were in. They are still eligible to show individually in regular classes and
can be used in the other Collector's Classes. You may submit your list of retired horses any time
before the next year's show.

Please supply aprimary email when you purchase the show entry - it will be used by me only. I will periodically
be sending newsletters via email with reminders and announcements – be sure to add the show’s
email address to your contact list. If you are attending this show for the first time or coming
back after a hiatus, you should read the “Guide to Showing in the BreyerFest Open Show”; just
email me for it. If you are brand new to showing model horses, email me for the "What is a Model
Horse Show?" packet. You are also welcome to participate in Breyer Boot Camp, which is an
online model horse photo show hosted by Breyer on their partner platform, PonyBytes, whose
purpose is to prepare new showers for showing in person at the Open Show.
➢ Important Updates for 2024:
• I am very excited to announce a few changes to the show that should mean more
reasonable class sizes in some divisions and will definitely mean more prizes!
• First, in response to the explosion of entries in the Special Run division over the
past few years, I have split that division into TWO subdivisions, which means two
sets of Sectional prizes and two sets of Overall prizes! Please read the information
in the Special Run section of this packet carefully to know how this will work.
• Secondly, many of you asked for it, and I heard you! You will see that I have
expanded the CM Mini section into two sections with almost double the number of
classes we’ve had before and the addition of another set of Sectional prizes!
• Third, a special little surprise: there will now be TWO Overall champions in the
Collectibility division! After the first three sections, we will name an Overall Champ
and Reserve, then the next three sections will have their own Overall Champ and
Reserve. I have always thought that choosing between vintage/rare/unrealistic
models and modern/realistic/LR models for one major championship was such a
difficult challenge (apples vs. oranges, if you will), so now they will each have their
own championship, and the judges will confer to decide which model will win the
Shirley Ketchuck Memorial Trophy.
• One more fun surprise: The KHP has installed a new wireless projection screen over
the stage, which should improve the functionality of the show’s tracking chart, AND
there are two new screens on the short walls of the hall!
• NEW: Run documentation is now required in the Regular Run division. This is to
reduce the number of models entered in the wrong division. Refer to the divisions’
rules for specifics. And don’t be surprised if it’s required in the Mini and Foal
divisions next year!
• Some classes/class numbers have been adjusted, classes have been added &
rules/info updated; be sure to use this year’s classlist and read everything!
2024 BreyerFest©
Open Model Horse Show
Information Packet
➢ The hall will open at 6:00 AM; judging starts at 7:00.
➢ The roster of judges for this year's show will be finalized sometime in February and will be
emailed to everyone with the first email newsletter.
➢ There are concession stands in the Alltech Arena building, but the choices are limited and
somewhat pricey, and the lines can be long and slow. Breyer has no control over this; they
are run by the KHP. I strongly recommend that you bring your own breakfast/lunch,
snacks and beverages. We will take one 20-minute "stop everything" break when the staff
lunch is served, but you will not have time to leave the building to get food.
➢ DIRECTIONS to the show hall: after you enter the park, go about 2/3 of the way around
the traffic circle to turn right on Cigar Lane. Go straight down that road to the end (before
it becomes a private drive) to a left turn onto Walt Robertson Road. This is the side of the
Alltech Arena where our hall is; it’s marked “North Exhibit Hall”. If there aren't any
parking spaces right outside the hall, you can park at the curb to unload but then you
must move your vehicle to the main parking lot in front of the building.
With tales of triumph and survival, this year’s BreyerFest promises to be an inspiration
as well as the wonderful celebration of the horse that we love. See you there!
Michelle Masters,
BreyerFest Open Show Manager

➢ 2024 FUN CLASSES! These classes truly are for fun; any models brought for these
classes do not count toward your limit & do not need to be registered. One entry per
person per class, staff members are allowed to enter, Your Show Manager will be judging
and there will be "fun" prizes!
* Ten Year Reunion: from 2014’s Silver Jubilee; celebration horse Gooitzen fan
Teakesyl – model can be shown with program, collector’s card, button, photos, or any
other celebration horse memorabilia.
* Manager's Special: Black Out! 2024 will bring us a total solar eclipse on April 8th.
Let’s commemorate this rare occasion with your favorite solid black model. OF or CM, all
scales are welcome, minimal white markings are okay, but no paints, pintos or appys. And
no cross-entry of Gooitzens!
* It’s a Leap Year Too! For this class, bring your favorite leaping (jumping) model! OF
or CM, all scales are welcome. To add to the fun, show your model jumping over
something creative or crazy, like a pile of candy, another model or maybe a cactus!
* CollectA ExtravaganzA: since the CollectA section has been eliminated, we’ll have an
open CollectA class here. Any CollectA model (doesn’t have to be a horse) is allowed to
enter, and the 1st and 2nd place will get a new CollectA horse!
General Show Rules and Guidelines:
1. This show is for Breyer models ONLY.
2. Each entrant that purchases a full table is limited to registering 60 models total. Each
entrant that purchases a half table may still register up to 60 models, but no more than 40 can
be Traditional size (this does not include ponies or foals). Full table space is 30” x 8’; half table
space is 30” x 48”. If you purchase a half table, it is strongly recommended that you mark out
this space at home to determine how your models will fit comfortably; include any other items
you might need with you on the day of the show. Keep in mind that half table entrants are also
limited to half of the space under the table as well.
3. Each entrant is limited to showing two models per halter class (the SR subdivisions have their
own limit rule) and two models per performance class.
4. Each model is limited to one halter class, whichever class is most appropriate for them.
5. Models made of porcelain/china, resin, bronze or crystal are not eligible to show in halter or
performance, but you are encouraged to consider entering those models in the BreyerFest
Breakables show or the Resin Renaissance show. More information about these shows can be
found on the Breyer website.
6. Any model that won any Overall Division Champion or Reserve at any past BreyerFest Open
Show must be retired from that division and cannot show again at a BreyerFest show, even if
ownership has changed. Overall Champ/Reserve in Halter can still show in Performance and vice
versa. Sectional Champs/Reserves do not retire, and BreyerWest overall champs can still show at
BreyerFest. Overall Champs/Reserves from the 2020/2021 Virtual Shows do not need to retire.
7. All models registered for the show must be wholly owned by the individual entering them. No
co-owned or syndicated models are allowed to enter. The only exception to this rule is for familyowned models; any member of that family may show the model.
8. There is no proxy showing at this show. Proxy showing is defined as registering and/or placing
a horse in a ring that does not genuinely belong to you. All entrants must put the horses they
have registered as their own in the show ring. If you need to leave the hall for a while, you can
have someone enter/remove your horses; please notify the Show Manager if you do this.
9. Immediate family members of a judge may not enter the division that she/he is judging.
10. Entrants may not show any model that has ever been owned by the judge of that model’s
division.
11. No dogs or other animals are allowed in the hall, except for service animals, and they must
be properly certified and kept on a leash no longer than 6’ in length.
12. All Divisions (all Halter and Performance) will run at the same time, in different rings.
Please plan your entries so that you are not overwhelmed by the size or pace of the show.
13. It is the entrant’s responsibility to keep track of which rings you are showing in and which
classes are being held. Two announcements are made for each class (a first call and a last call),
there is a tracking chart to assist you, and each division has a ring steward that can answer
questions. Once a class is closed by the ring steward (there will not be a “class closed”
announcement), you cannot put a horse in the ring, and we cannot repeat a class. There will be
green Open signs so that you will know the class in the ring is being set up and red Closed signs
so that you will know when they are being judged.
14. It is the entrant's responsibility to put their models in the appropriate class according to
their breed, type, run, etc. You should get all of your questions about class placement answered
before the show. If you still have a question after checking the Breed and Run Classification
Lists, email the Show Manager.
15. Models entered into an incorrect class will be disqualified, and a DQ marker will be placed
near the model. If the correct class for the model has not been held yet, you can re-enter the
model as long as you don’t exceed the two horse per class limit. The ring steward can explain the
disqualification if they have time.
16. It is the entrant’s responsibility to be sure every model placed into a showring has a proper
tag with an assigned number. Instructions for making tags will be included in the registration
information. If a model is in the ring with no tag, it’s very likely that it will be overlooked.
17. You should expect that many of the classes will be very large. All entrants are expected to be
considerate of others when setting up entries - do not take up more space than needed and do not
put a model in a place that blocks the judge's view of another entrant's model. You may have to
set up your entry down the middle line of a table; don’t worry – the judge will be able to see your
entry. Notify the ring steward if you can't find a spot for your model. Do not touch or move
anyone else’s model to make room for yours.
18. Entrants and spectators must not linger around the show rings when a class is being judged.
Once the class is closed, please move away from the ring so that the judge is free to move around
the tables.
19. Asking questions of a judge is only appropriate in performance classes and must be about
your entry only. Questions should be specific and intended to assist you in improving your entry,
not to force the judge to justify the placings.
20. For the purposes of this show, the terms “Classic” and “Freedom Series” are interchangeable.
21. NO sales of any items are allowed at the show. Additionally, flyers and/or signs promoting or
advertising sales are also prohibited.
Awards: Flat ribbons are awarded 1st – 10th in all classes. 1st – 6th in Collector’s Class receive
rosettes. Rosettes are awarded to all sectional champions and reserve champions. Overall
Divisional champions and reserve champions receive large rosettes. Breyer prize models for
sectional and overall champions & reserves to be announced.
The BreyerFest Open Show will be re-applying for membership in the N.A.M.H.S.A. and should
be a NAN qualifying show for 2024.
Definition of Original Finish: An Original Finish (O.F.) model is any Breyer that has not been
altered in ANY way after leaving the factory. Changes that are not allowed include but are not
limited to: application of a glossy finish, any product intended to make the finish shiny, clear nail
polish or black paint to eyes or hooves, or any removal of paint. Minor touch-ups, like those done
to rubbed ear tips or hooves, are acceptable but many judges will disqualify models if the
restoration is obvious or extensive.
Halter Class Rules
1. Classes may be split at the judge's or show manager's discretion and could be split for reasons
other than the number of entries in the class. The two-horse limit would still apply; you can only
enter two horses total between the two new classes. If a class number is split (A/B, etc.) in the
classlist, that is considered two separate classes.
2. Halters and other tack/accessories are NOT allowed unless it is part of the mold.
3. Horses are not to be shown in or with their box (except in class #310), or anything else that
they came with (except bases). Horses are not to be shown in halter classes with props
(backdrops, fencing, scenery, etc.), or "footing" (pieces of felt, cloth, etc.), with leg wraps,
blankets, etc. Any type of base used to make a horse stand is acceptable.
4. If a model has a tendency to tip over, you may show it lying down. You can use a piece of
felt/towel/cloth/pony pouch for the model to lie on, no larger than 12” x 14” Solid colors are
recommended. Please note that when you lay a model down, you are giving the judge (and only
the judge) permission to pick the horse up to look at both sides.
5. There is a Breed Classification List that you must follow to determine where to show your
horse (which class), based on the breed(s) you’ve assigned to it. It should be posted on the Breyer
site, on the Model Horse Shows page, and I will email it to all registered entrants.
6. All horses must have a specific breed on their ID tag. "Pony", "Draft", "Warmblood", or
"Mixed", for example, are NOT breeds. You must state what specific breed of pony, draft, or
warmblood. For Mixed breeds, you must state what specific breeds the horse is a mix of, as in
Quarter Horse/Thoroughbred.
7. Uncommon breeds, as well as unusual/rare colors or patterns on a common breed, may be
accompanied by a description and/or photo no larger than 8 ½ x 11”. Lamination or page
protectors are allowed.
8. When preparing documentation to put in the show ring, do not plan to put a whole book on the
table. Please make a copy (black & white is fine) of the single page you wish to use. Whenever
possible, name your source on your breed documentation (the name of the book/website where
you got it). Note that breed documentation is not the same thing as run documentation or a
Certificate of Authenticity, and breed documentation is not required in any class.
9. There is a Run Classification List to assist you in determining which division/section is correct
for your Traditional model (other scales are not on the list yet). It will be posted on the Breyer
site, on the Model Horse Shows page, and I will email it to all registered entrants. For Freedom
Series (formerly known as Classics) and Stablemates, the website www.identifyyourbreyer.com
can help you determine your model’s run, or you can email me (Show Manager) before the show
and I’ll be happy to help you. Our info table will have reference books and catalogs if you need to
check something on showday, but please do not wait to determine which class is correct for your
horse. Horses that are in the wrong class will be disqualified.
10. "Longears" refers to donkeys and mules.
11. “British Isles” refers to England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Ireland.
12. For clarification of “Mustang” breeds, refer to the Breed Classification List.
13. “Source” (in reference to documentation) refers to where to model was originally made
available.
Regular Run Halter Division Rules & Info:
1. The Regular Run OF Halter Division is for Traditional and Freedom Series (formerly known
as Classic) scales.
2. This division is for models listed by Breyer in their yearly and mid-year catalogs. Models that
qualify for the Special Run or Collectibility division are NOT allowed in this division.
3. The Run Classification List will clarify classification for many runs of models, but most
Regular Runs are not listed. Check there first; if you are still unsure, contact the Show Manager.
4. Models considered to be “variations” of a regular run model should be shown in this division.
Please email the Show Manager to confirm your model qualifies to show in Regular Run if: a
model is a major variation (obvious goofs, factory releases or uncommon variations), a rare
Regular Run (especially vintage models), or if your model is an uncommon “Warehouse Find”
(most of these models are variations rather than small runs, but it doesn’t hurt to double-check).
5. Breed documentation is allowed (but not required) in this division.
6. Model run documentation is required. All you need is the Breyer name of the model and
year(s) produced. This should be no smaller than a business card and no larger than 8 ½" x 11"
and may be laminated or in a page protector. Handwritten is fine, as long as it’s neat and easy
to read. You can add a brief explanation if the model is a variation or an oddity. Please follow the
honor system when representing your model as a variation, such as not showing it as a regular
run variation when it is actually a reissue or prize model.
Special Run Halter Subdivisions Rules & Info:
1. Think of this as one division with all split classes when you plan your entries: you may only
show two models total in any class. For example, you can show one horse in class #201A and one
horse in class #201B, or you can show two horses in class #201A OR two horses in class #201B.
The two subdivisions will run simultaneously in their own rings.
2. The “A” subdivision is for models from All sources EXCEPT BreyerFest and BreyerWest. The
“B” subdivision is for models from BreyerFest and BreyerWest, including celebration horses,
Store Specials, Online Specials, and ticketed Special Runs. The “A” subdivision includes all other
sources, such as Collector’s Club or Web exclusives, Connoisseur series, Premier Club, Brick and
Mortar/ Flagship, Tractor Supply Company, Breyer events, QVC, JC Penney’s, etc.
3. The Run Classification List will clarify classification for many runs of models. Please check
there first to confirm that your model is a Special Run and determine which subdivision is
correct (A or B); if your model is not on the list, contact the Show Manager.
4. The Special Run OF Halter Division is for Traditional and Freedom Series (formerly known as
Classic) scales.
5. This division is strictly for models that are limited in number and availability, and do not
appear in the regular catalogs. Models that qualify to show in Regular Run or Collectibility
(especially Limited Run) are NOT allowed in this division.
6. Special Runs, Store Specials, and Celebration horses exclusive to 2024 BreyerFest are not
eligible to enter.
7. Breed documentation is allowed (but not required) in this division.
8. Model run documentation is required. You may show models with their original (no copies
allowed) Certificate of Authenticity (COA) or other documentation that provides background
information on the model's origin. However, COAs are not required; all you need is the Breyer
name of the model, the source of the run, year produced, and number of models in the run, if
known. This should be no smaller than a business card and no larger than 8 ½" x 11" and may be
laminated or in a page protector. Handwritten is fine, as long as it’s neat and easy to read. You
can add a brief explanation if the model is a variation or an oddity or if it's an older or obscure
run that a judge may not be very familiar with.
Collectibility Halter Division Rules & Info:
1. All models must be factory original finish. Any model that qualifies to show in this division
may not show in any other halter division.
2. The One-of-a-Kind (OOAK) classes include test colors, BreyerFest or other event Auction
models, “Create Your Own” models, factory/artist proofs/prototypes and major goofs.
3. “Limited Run” is defined as models that were produced in runs of 160 or less. Note that prize
models are not eligible to compete at BreyerFest until the year after they are awarded.
4. Any Volunteer models exclusive to 2024 BreyerFest are not eligible to enter. Volunteer models
distributed at 2024 events held prior to BreyerFest are eligible to enter. Note that all Volunteer
Models should be shown as Limited Run, even if the run is known to be more than 160.
5. The Run Classification List will clarify classification for many runs of models. Please check
there first to confirm your model’s run; if you are still unsure, contact the Show Manager.
6. Breed documentation is allowed (but not required) in this division.
7. Model run documentation is required. You may show models with their original (no copies
allowed) Certificate of Authenticity (COA) or other documentation that provides background
information on the model's origin. However, COAs are not required; all you need is the original
source of the model, year made, name (if it had one) and number of models in the run, if known.
This must be no smaller than a business card and no larger than 8 ½" x 11" and may be
laminated or in a page protector. You can add a brief explanation if the model is a variation or an
oddity or if it's an older or obscure model that a judge may not be very familiar with.
8. Horses may not be shown with their box; judges are aware that having the original box with a
model does add to its collectibility, but they have asked to judge the model on its merit alone.
Models in their original package may opt to show in class #310.
9. Due to the wide variety of breed-correct molds and detailed finishes used in Limited Run
models, the Limited Run sections will be double-judged (except class #326 A/B). One judge will
judge for breed standards and one for collectibility, and a sectional champion & reserve will be
named for both categories.
10. Documentation of provenance is required for all random or OOAK clearware pieces.
11. This division will have two subdivisions; the first three sections will be awarded an Overall
Champion and Reserve, and the last three sections will be awarded an Overall Champion and
Reserve. The Shirley Ketchuck Memorial Trophy will be awarded in a judge-off between the
Overall Champs and Reserves of both subdivisions.
Specific Collectibility Class Rules:
Classes #303, 304, 305: for all Regular Runs and Special Runs. Limited Run cows, calves, dogs,
cats and other realistic animals should show in class #326B
Class #309: for models with tack that is part of the mold or with plastic saddles (such as the
Western Prancer), not holiday horses with their costumes/decorations
Class #311: for models made before 1995 that are in their original blister pack or in/with a rare
or collectible box
Class #312: models shown in this class cannot enter another halter class
Class #313: for realistic color models that are generally not competitive in the breed classes of
the Regular Run or Special Run divisions, such as the Family Arabian or Running Stallions/
Mares, Grazing Mares, Old Timers, etc. You can show these models in their breed class or this
class, but not both.
Classes #316-319: “Vintage” is defined as models produced from 1950 - 1979. “Modern” is defined
as models produced from 1980 – 2024.
Class #322: for models with a scene or symbol(s), such as the Halloween horses, the "Romance"
Huckleberry Bey, Leif, the "Pink Ribbon Horse", etc.
Class #323: for models such as Illumination, Spice Drop, Patriot and the rainbow Weather Girl.
If a model is translucent AND has a design (such as Old Glory or Sugarmaple), it shows here.
Class #324: chalkies & pearlies may choose to show here for collectibility, or they may choose to
show in their breed class, but they can't show in both; these classes include chalky/pearly nonequines. Note: “pearlies” are models whose basecoat is shimmery/pearly. They were made of an
experimental plastic in the 1970s and are totally different from the pearlescent paint that Breyer
has been using more recently.
Class #325: models released from the factory unpainted or unfinished, can be whole body or
part(s) that are unpainted
Class #326: includes glossy charcoal/smoke models; these models can be shown in a breed class
instead if you have documentation
Class #327: for old-style unrealistic red roans
Class #328: includes unrealistic pattern (for example, wild/splatter dapple gray/black)
Class #328-#329: “Vintage” is defined as models produced from 1950 - 1979. “Modern” is defined
as models produced from 1980 – 2024.
Customized Halter Division Rules & Info:

years. 2. Must not have earned more than $500 in sales of customized work. 3. Must never have
won an Open level CM Halter Championship or Reserve at any live show with their CM work.

3. CM by A/O models may show in the Open CM classes as well as the A/O section.
4. This section does award the sectional prizes for champion & reserve, but winners are not
eligible for the overall divisional championship.
5. This section will be held in Ring #19 as time allows. An announcement will be made in
advance of the start of the section. These classes will be held if an entrant is showing a model in
an Open CM class since these models are allowed to enter both.
6. NEW: Beginning with the 2023 show’s results, the Champion and Reserve Champion of this
section must retire from the A/O section but are still eligible for the Open CM division.
Foal Halter Division Rules & Info:
1. Weanlings and Yearlings are considered Foals.
2. The Run Classification List will clarify classification for many runs of models. Please check
there first; if you are still unsure, contact the Show Manager.
3. Class #536 is for regular run models that are generally not competitive in the breed classes of
the Regular Run or Special Run division, such as the Scratching, Grazing, and Lying Foals.
Foals entered in this class may not show in any other class with the one class per model limit.
4. Class #537 is for foals in their original package or with a collectible box.
5. Foals entered in a collectibility class may not also show in a breed class due to the one class

sections in this division with regard to eligible models, COA's, breed documentation, etc.
Mini Halter Division Rules & Info:
1. The Mini division is for original finish Little Bits/Paddock Pals, Stablemates, and Mini
Whinnies only.
2. I did eliminate the CollectA section due to low entry numbers, but those models now have a
Fun Class, and 1st and 2nd will receive a new CollectA horse.
3. The Special Run sections of this division include all runs of at least 13 and includes models
available to Stablemate Club members only.
4. Class #633 is for all one-of-a-kinds and all runs of 12 and under.
5. In all the OF sections of the Mini division, the "Other Pure & Mixed" class in each section is
for mixes/types of breeds from that section.
6. Risers are allowed in this division. Use clear acrylic or solid colors risers only. Risers must be
no taller than 4.5" and must not block the judge's view of other entries. Risers may only be used
with models that are Stablemate size or smaller and are not required.
7. Refer to Regular Run, Special Run and Collectibility rules; the same guidelines apply to those
sections in this division with regard to eligible models, COA's, breed documentation, etc.
8. No holiday ornaments are to be shown in any class.
Open Performance Rules & Info:
1. The OF and CM Performance Division will run simultaneously, so please plan only as many
entries as you can handle. Classes will not be held for major tack changes or sharing props.
2. All performance classes are open to models of all scales, including CollectAs. No original finish
porcelain or resins allowed to enter; customized porcelain/resin models are allowed to enter.
3. No set-ups are allowed in pleasure classes (English, Western, saddleseat or harness). A “setup” is defined as any fence, arena wall or other vertical backdrop, and/or any decorative props.
“Footing” (cloth, board, etc. designed to resemble arena footing) is allowed but should be no
larger than 16” x 20” (this includes trays of loose footing). Backdrops are allowed in other classes
but should not block the judge's view of both sides of your horse and must not block the view of
other entries.
4. Cross-entry is limited to two classes outside of the horse’s main section. For example, a horse
may show in all of the classes in the English section, plus two classes in the Western section or
one in Western and one in Miscellaneous.
5. There will be a basket of wooden disks on all performance rings; the disks are red on one side,
and green on the other. Every entry should have a disk in front of it turned to the red side while
the entry is being set up, then flipped over to the green side when the entry is ready to be judged.
The performance judge will have the option of looking at entries as soon as the green side shows
they are ready. You will still have the entire set-up time, and there is no penalty for taking all of
the time allowed.
6. Performance entries are limited to a 24”x24” or 18”x30” space; Over Fences and Stockwork
entries may use a 24" x 30" space. The only exception is a multiple-horse (more than 2) hitch
harness or a draft harness entry with a large wagon/cart. Any other entry that does not meet
these space limitations must be approved in advance by the Show Manager.
7. Prop horses can be any finish (CM okay in OF / OF okay in CM) but must be Breyers. Prop
animals (calves, cows, etc.), tack, dolls and other props do not have to be made by Breyer. Prop
horses/animals do not have to be registered if they are only being used as props, and they can be
used in multiple classes.
8. Information cards on performance entries are not required, but they are recommended.
Explanations, photos, diagrams, and patterns should be no more than 8 ½" x 11" total per entry
and may be laminated or in a page protector.
9. Once a class has been closed, set-up will begin in another ring for the next class as space
allows. You can set up props for the next class, but it will not be closed until entrants have had a
chance to move horses over from the previous class. Once a class has been pinned, there will be
ten minutes to finish setting up the next class. The ring steward may allow extra time if it seems
necessary and reasonable, but classes will not be held for one entrant.
10. The performance division will start first thing in the morning and run independent of the
Halter divisions throughout the day. You may show the same horse in performance and halter,
but NO classes will be held for horses showing in both. It is recommended that you do not try to
show a horse in both Halter and Performance.
11. You must tag only ONE horse in entries such as Team Roping, Pairs, multi-horse hitch
Harness, etc. All other horses in the entry are considered props.
12. No horses, tack, dolls, props, or accessories created by the judge may be shown in her section.

2. The Novice Performance entrant MUST do all of the tacking-up and setting-up of entries
entirely themselves. They may receive NO help on the day of the show from any other person. If
an entrant is seen receiving assistance from another person, they will be permanently
disqualified from this division.

Collector's Class Guidelines:
The Collector's Classes are four special classes where exhibitors display a group of models. These
classes are not the same thing as the Collectibility classes; they are separate from the other
divisions and have their own rules & guidelines.
You must pre-register on your original registration form to enter. If you do not pre-register, there
will not be a space for your entry on show day. If there are any changes to your plans, please
contact the Show Manager before July 5th. You may only show one collection per class, but you
can enter Commonality, Variety and Stablemate, or any combination of the three. Novice
entrants can also enter the Stablemate class but cannot enter Commonality or Variety. All
classes will be judged at the same time; there is NO cross-entering of the same model in more
than one collection.
Commonality Class: This class is for models that have something in common about the way that
they were made, such as collections of the same mold (including variations of a mold, such as
models with modified manes or tails) OR collections of models in the same color (including glossy
& matte versions of the same color, random variations such as different leg or face markings,
and families of colors such as wedgewood/copenhagen or solid silver/filigree). This class would
include entries of all flocked models, all clearware/translucent, all chalky, etc.
Variety Class: This class is for collections with any assortment of molds and colors, such as
collections of models from the same event of different years, different molds representing the
same breed, random vintage models, etc. Collections in this class should represent the “variety”
of models that Breyer has produced over the past 70 years. Ideally, judges would like to see
models from several decades, a variety of sources, and more than one type of run. The inclusion
of at least one non-equine model is encouraged.
Stablemate Collector’s Class: This class is for Stablemates ONLY, but the collection can be
either Commonality or Variety. Any original finish Stablemate scale model can be shown,
including porcelains.
Novice Collector's Class: Entrants in this class must not have won a Collector's Class at ANY live
model horse show, nor shown before in the Open Collector's Class at any BreyerFest show. The
winner of any previous BreyerFest Novice Collector's Class must now show at the Open level.
Novice entries can be in the style of either Commonality or Variety.
NOTE: all collections may have a "theme" - all appaloosas, all mares, all raffle models, decorative
motif, etc. They should still be shown in the class best suited for the collection of models being
shown. If you are not sure which class to enter, please contact the Show Manager before the
show.
Collector's Class Rules & Guidelines:
1. Your reserved space will have your entrant number on it; leave your entrant number on your
collection. Do NOT put your name anywhere on the entry.
2. You are allowed to enter Collector's Class models in the regular Halter classes, but classes will
not be held. Any model that is entered in a regular Halter classes must be registered and
included in your limit. Models that show in Collector's Class only do not need to be registered.
3. The Collector's Class will consist of 10 - 12 models per entry. Collection with more than 12 or
less than 10 will not be judged. Any combination of regular run, special run, discontinued, test
run, etc. may be presented. NO customized models are allowed. Lamps, clocks, etc. may be
entered. Sets of models will be counted individually (mare and foal = two models), even if they
are mounted together on a base or lamp. Models may be non-equine.
4. Collections can include any medium of original finish model, including plastic, china/porcelain,
resin and crystal.
4. Collections will be limited to a 30” deep x 36” wide space on the showring table as indicated on
the master schedule. No free-standing set-ups (off the table) will be allowed. You may bring
shelves, risers, etc. (there is no height limit), as well as table covers/dressings, but you MUST
stay within your allotted space on the table.
5. Any extras shown with a model (boxes, hang tags, pins, dolls, tack, etc.) must be Breyer
products. COA's may be shown with models but are not required. Items used as decorations may
be non-Breyer products. Any models used as props or decoration will count toward the limit of 12
unless marked that it is not to be judged.
6. You must provide documentation (on a small card per model) for each piece as to its
history/origin and the year(s) it was produced.
7. Collector's Classes will be judged by a panel of three judges and a total point score used to
place the classes 1st through 6th. Ties will be broken by a judge-off with all three judges.
8. In all classes, rosettes are awarded to 1st – 6th place. In the Commonality and Variety classes,
1st & 2nd place receive divisional prize models. In the Stablemate and Novice classes, 1st and 2nd
place receive sectional prize models.
9. Since Overall Champions and Reserves of other divisions are required to retire from showing,
there is a similar policy in place for Collector's Class. If your collection places 1st or 2nd, you will
need to choose half of the models in the collection to permanently retire from showing in the
Collector's Class they were in. They are still eligible to show individually in regular classes and
can be used in the other Collector's Classes. You may submit your list of retired horses any time
before the next year's show.
