 Breyer has finally revealed our celebration horse for next year! Here is what the Breyerfest Blog says: We are turning down the girl power anthems here at HQ for just long enough to introduce you to this equestrian icon – the incredible BreyerFest 2024 Celebration Horse, who is a true “surviving against all odds” story. Meet –  Athenian Lady .   Amanda Delgado first met the neglected and abused chestnut paint mare in 2015, standing in the middle of a desolate pasture, but even as rough and starved as she looked Amanda saw that the mare carried herself with a regal, strong, and graceful presence. Named aptly after the Greek goddess of wisdom and war, Athenian Lady has proven the naysayers wrong and has transformed from a feral and dangerous rescue horse to stunning World Champion.   Before - Athena right after her rescue After - A beautiful, healthy Athena   Athena and Amanda have found their niche in Western Dressage.

 Well, you asked for it! Here is the reaction to  Mr. Cracklebones  in the barn! “Wew, glad that’s finally finished.” (Crinkle Crackle, Crinkle Crackle) “What’s that sound?” “Huh, I don’t remember seeing this here…” (Crinkle Crackle, Crinkle Crackle) “Where  is that sound coming from?!?” “What?!?!” (Crinkle Crackle, Crinkle Crackle) “Ahhhhh!!!!!!” (Crinkle Crackle, Crinkle Crackle) (Panting) “Hello” (Screaming) “Want a hand?” (Even louder screams) (Sighs) “Humans never change” “Now, to find my horse…” “Hmm” “Ah, this will come in handy” “Hello there, little one” “ Yes,  you are the one I want” “Don’t worry little one, we will not be gone long” “Come” “Steady now” “Off we go!”

 One month a year… that’s when it happens.    Mr. Cracklebones appears every October in barns throughout the world. He is a skeleton who rises from his grave every October. He has an uncanny ability to befriend any horse he lays his eyes on. He selects one horse in each barn.  Then sets out at sunset.   Across plains, Through forests, And meadows. Every horse he rides returns safely. In fact, there has never even been a report of any kind of injury or trauma. It’s only the humans who are haunted. The horses are more energetic and spirited than ever. If they could talk, they would have quite the story to tell. Well, I hope you guys enjoyed the Legend of Mr. Cracklebones!!! I found him in some Halloween decorations and couldn’t resist! Let me know in the comments if you want to see what happens when he comes to my barn…
