For the first post, Combined Driving, was an obvious reference to Bravour 54, the celebration model. I do expect to see something else in this discipline (it is so popular), but Bravour seemed to be the model hiding in the illusions of this post.
The second post, Harness Racing, completely thrilled me. Harness racing is not my thing, but Constantia is! I would love to have one on her mold, but her original PC color was not what I was hoping for (this was a good thing for my wallet!). I know it would be a pretty short time period between her PC release and next BF, but it is possible, and certainly seems to be the only reasonable mold to use in this circumstance (I swear I'm gonna cry if it ends up being the old Hess Pacer for the vintage SR).
Therapeutic Driving was the unexpected third post. I knew about it, but I certainly wasn't expecting Breyer to choose it. I'm really glad they did! It definitely needs more recognition. This discipline leaves the door wide open for nearly any mold, so I don't have a (public) guess.
In fourth position was Show Driving. This one was fairly expected. My first thought was Hamilton, but other collectors suggested Rejoice. I think Rejoice is probably more likely (as our vintage SR) because I am of the opinion that Hamilton will be our silver filigree model for Christmas.
Pleasure Carriage Driving was an assumed candidate. I can imagine Astrid in this category (oh please!).
The final post was Draft Hitch. For this one I am really hoping to see a solid colored long mane Shannondell. Particularly in palomino, but I won't get my hopes up too high.
I did expect to see mini pony driving post, but none appeared. I still assume we will see something of that ilk pop-up somewhere along the way. I was hoping for an Amish horse post (with a Giselle model), but I suppose Breyer wouldn't do that since they couldn't get a demo at the KHP to go with (too many cameras around).
Very interesting theories!
ReplyDeleteI really hope Constantia is a SR, I'd love to have one in a more common Standardbred color. :)
Excellent theories! It’s always so exciting when Breyer starts revealing details about BreyerFest releases, I can’t wait!
ReplyDeleteAs much as I would love horses along these lines, it is briar were talking about. They’re probably going to give us a cow pony and a jumping horse 😂
ReplyDeleteI can only assume they are going to use Constancia in some capacity. I just hope it’s a special run and not something more limited like the raffle horses. Since it will be a full year since her release, hopefully it’s a special run. I really want her in a nice bay or Chestnut.
