Winners to Receive Special Custom Breyer Model for Breyer’s 75th Anniversary Celebration Deadline for entries: July 31st, 2024
It’s the million dollar question! How can you get a Breyer model of your favorite horse? The answer could be in your hands—or words! As part of Breyer Animal Creation’s 75th anniversary celebration in 2025, we’re throwing a “Why My Favorite Horse Would Love to be a Breyer Model” essay contest. Three winners will be honored with a personal copy of their very own genuine Breyer model in the likeness of their entry when Breyer’s Diamond Anniversary happens in 2025!
The contest is open to essays about real horses and ponies of all breeds, types, and abilities—whether they’re a show ring champion or a solid-citizen lesson pony. You don’t even need to own a horse to write about it! Tell us about that precious pony you own, a horse that you ride, or a horse you admire.
To enter, describe in 250 words or less why your favorite horse is the hands-down choice to be honored as a Breyer model. Be sure to include a photo with your submission. Essays will be judged on the character of the horse and the creative expression of the writer. One of the three winning entries, with the permission of the horse’s owner, may even have the opportunity to become part of the Breyer stable and available at your favorite Breyer retailer in 2025!
Don’t let your favorite horse, or pony, get left in the field – saddle up and write! We can’t wait to hear your stories!
While many will enter, only three will win. No purchase necessary to enter or win. Contest is open to legal residents, ages 5 and above at the time of entry, of the U.S. and Canada (excluding Quebec), where allowed. Void where prohibited or otherwise restricted by law.
For more information and to enter, go to www.BreyerHorses.com/blogs/news/Essay for details. Deadline for entries is July 31, 2024.
Founded in 1950 in Chicago, Illinois, Breyer Animal Creations’ storied history traces back to an F.W. Woolworth commission to create a horse statue to adorn a mantel clock. When, a deluge of orders poured in for the horse only—now known as the # 57 Western Horse—Breyer took the bit and ran. Celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2025, Breyer has championed the horse and animals for decades.
