WHO (the cast Sneak Peek):
Sylvia Zerbini—for the first live show since 2019, Sylvia pulled out all the stops creating POWER OF YOUR DREAMS exclusively for BreyerFest. During the past two years as BreyerFest pioneered its wildly successful virtual events during Covid, Sylvia produced and directed the shows which were then streamed during the virtual event. Now, after months of preparation and rehearsals, the magic is about to unfold. Sylvia, who is known for her beautiful partnership with her horses, will perform her signature Grande Liberté act. Look for 12 Arabians abreast in a mesmerizing display described as the “quintessential equestrian ballet!” Sylvia’s stunning Andalusian/Arabian stallion Rico, who became a 2019 Breyer portrait horse, will add enchantment. Born in Sarasota, Florida, Sylvia grew up with her parents on tour. She took to the air (trapeze!) as a girl, but horses were her passion. Sylvia has enchanted more than 10 million people throughout Europe, North America, and South America since her stage debut at five.
Fairland Ferguson—always an audience favorite, Fairland started her successful performing career at Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede. A standout performer, trick rider, and Roman rider, Fairland next set her sights on Cavalia, touring with the production and performing at points around the globe from 2009 to 2018. After leaving the tour, returning to the States, she continued training and riding for herself and clients. Focused now on training the next generation of up-and-coming trick riders, Fairland calls on her fearless riding style to rehabilitate horses and find them safe homes.
The Diaz Family—a true Charro, Jerry Diaz continues the grand tradition of his Mexican heritage performing horsemanship skills and rope artistry at events throughout the country. Wife Staci Diaz, a 3rd generation entertainer known for her Roman riding skills, grew up training and raising horses for performances. Their son Nicolas is now performing alongside both parents in many of the family productions they do together.
Kansas Carradine—she comes from a Hollywood acting legacy, but horses have defined her career. As a trick rider with the Riata Ranch Cowboy Girls, she performed at National Finals Rodeo, to NFL halftimes, to the Queen of England’s Diamond Jubilee Celebration. In 2000, her trick riding horse Arapaho became a Breyer model horse. Kansas twirled her lasso for Reba McIntyre’s music videos and worked on films and television like Hidalgo and Heartland as a stuntwoman. She’s been featured in Sports Illustrated, the LA Times and Cowboys and Indians. Kansas toured more than a decade with Cavalia as a trick rider, roper, and horse trainer. Her daughters Phoenix and Bodhi are carrying on the family tradition, trick riding, roping and performing. Watch them spin their ropes in the show!
Renowned for their musical performances, Canadian Cowgirls started dazzling audiences across North America with precision riding, stunning costumes, and daring maneuvers in 2003. Hailing from the municipality of Chatham-Kent, Ontario, Canadian Cowgirls is an elite precision riding team of 28 spectacular women and their horses.
Dusti Dickerson—Growing up in a rodeo family, Dusti plunged into barrel racing, carrying flags, and competitive gymnastics at a young age. After Dusti’s first performance at 11, she became one of the best-known Roman riders in the country, showcasing her unique style—standing bareback and barefoot atop very fast horses! A featured Roman rider at Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede for 13 years, she moved back to her hometown in St. Peter, Illinois before hitting the rodeo road full-time! She’s now performing throughout America with trick rider husband Justin and their boy Cruz.
Now age 11, Maddy Garter and Liberty Cunningham are award-winning performers, known as the Pegasus Riders. The dynamic duo specializes in trick riding, Roman riding, dance, aerial hammock, and liberty. Already performing alongside top equestrian talent, Maddy and Liberty’s videos go global!
Ascent Equestrian Vaulters—This 501c3 non-profit supports high-performance athletic development of equestrian vaulters. They achieve it too! Lead by coach Mary McCormick, Ascent’s Junior Squad Vaulters brought home the silver medal from 2021’s FEI Junior World Championship in Le Mans, France. Look for gravity-defying routines when Emma Milito, Lilly Belinski, and Helen Mills, who were part of the championship team, take the spotlight.
