[LPSLover13]

Please pm me because I have a TON of Qs

[Horseteen14]

I wish I could go!

[FoxdaizySisters]

Thanks for the advise!! I've only been there once, it was me, my mom, big sister & lil brother. It was the birthday bash one, it was fun. . . . even though my baby brother had the flu. . . But I'm determined to go again! Possibly this up coming one. :)

[applesandcherriesinc]

this is sooooo confusing and im going 2 my first breyerfest this ssummer and this is already confusing

[poeticussomnibus]

@applesandcherriesinc look at my newer vid about this. I slowed down alot more and I am doing it in sections

[applesandcherriesinc]

@poeticussomnibus yay 4 me being less confused(:

[crosbyjeans]

where is the hampton inn hotel place and are there any hiltons around

[breyerhorselover5]

where do you get the tags to show them? Can you show retired horses?

[poeticussomnibus]

@breyerhorselover5 you can show any breyer model you want! Doesnt matter if its retired or brand new :) Of course condition still needs to be pristine but other than that it doesnt matter if its retired! I get my tags from Staples but any office supply store or craft store would have them

[h0rseluvr]

kay thanks!

[h0rseluvr]

where do u get tickets to go to breyerfest?

[poeticussomnibus]

@h0rseluvr please check out my video "Survival Guide to Breyerfest 2.0 ep.1" That covers everything you need to know about tickets

[LQvideos1]

Hey with the picture of the white horse getting tack put on him can u please tell me if there's a dark mark on one of the sides of his neck? I just bought him off of eBay or amazon I don't remember but he had a dark spot, thank you :)

[poeticussomnibus]

@LQvideos1 yes its supposed to be there. I think its ugly but its based on a real horse or something :)

[Riogirl223323]

thanks



[thehorselover1235]

question please:so, are those four models you can get with the tickels free? and also, can you only buy four? I would like to buy a few more- and where do you....carry them? sorry for all of these questions, its just that I am going to breyerfest for my first time in 2012 and am a little worried about how we will manage....

[poeticussomnibus]

@thehorselover1235 each ticket lets you get 2 special runs. They give you a bag to carry it all in. They are not free and usually range from 55-65 dollars

[thehorselover1235]

@thehorselover1235 thank you so much:D

[horseXing1]

snickersrox24 they are almost ALWAYS held at the kentucky horse park lexington kentucky around the 10-20 of july but it is only 3 days

[painthorsesrock10]

what if they call 45 and your also 45 on your ticket ?

[poeticussomnibus]

@painthorsesrock10 then you are first in line and get whichever models you want :)

[infrcowgirl112]

i cant wait till i get to go 2012!!!!!!!!!! my first year

[JustinBieberluver794]

Do they sell the classic breyer horses also or only the traditinals?

[poeticussomnibus]

@JustinBieberluver794 they sell EVERYTHING you could imagin there, in other words yes they have tons of classics

[breyerloverboo1214]

wow

[breyerloverboo1214]

When is breyerfest this year? and how much is a three day ticket? How long does breyerfest last? How much is alot of breyers maybe we cud meet up there if i go!

[poeticussomnibus]

@breyerloverboo1214 the 15th-17th, three days

[breyerloverboo1214]

When is breyerfest this year?

[HeadstrongHorses]

What hotel should stay in

[breyerloverboo1214]

Thanx 4 the tips!

[catbus7horselover11]

OK so please don't laugh at this question but there will be lots of lines at the stores and how much do traditinioals usaully cost? How much did you pay for all the horses you got?

[poeticussomnibus]

@catbus7horselover11 its very crowded in the morning especially on friday but it usually thins down a bit when people start going to sit in the arena or to hotels. Traditionals really depend on what you are looking for. Regular runs usually go for 20-75 dollars.

[poeticussomnibus]

@shelbyandlucy they are $55 for kids 7-12, and $85 for 13 and up

[poeticussomnibus]

@shelbyandlucy nope you can just sit and watch :) Or just walk around and check out all the other cool things going on

[Schleichlvr]

i cant wait to go how much money do you think u spent and how much should i save up cuz i know im at least getting 6 horses and a bunch of accessories

[poeticussomnibus]

@Schleichlvr if the six horses you want are regular runs you should bring around 300 dollars (guessing that they may be around 40 each) But prices really vary and you could find a model for 40 one place and 25 in another. But save as much as possible. Its better to bring too much and come home with money then bring too little and be unable to get the horses you really want.

[Schleichlvr]

@poeticussomnibus

ok thank u sooooooooooo much

its my 1st time goin and i want everything to go smooth

[Schleichlvr]

@poeticussomnibus

ok thanks yay it is my 1st time goin and i want everything to work out right

[snickersrox24]

ok ok i love breyers so much and i only have 3 its crazy were are these breyerfests held at normaly and when and what time of year?!!

[Schleichlvr]

@snickersrox24

breyerfest r held in the Lexington Kentucky horse park every year around july

[Mosely10]

@snickersrox24 I Know this is from a long time ago, so you probley already know. It's Usally Held in summer, July around the middleish/end. It's In Lexington, KY. You can Google it for more info :D

[classicbreyerhorses]

@snickersrox24 July (Or June forgot) Kentucky horse park in Lexington, Kentucky.

[classicbreyerhorses]

@snickersrox24 They are always held there at that time!

[breyerhorserock]

i have a question, how do you survive if you have to stay at the HIN?

[poeticussomnibus]

@breyerhorserock staying in the HIN is actually really nice (unless you are a very light sleeper) People do walk around and stuff late into the night but mostly it doesnt bother people trying to sleep. I think its part of the deal that as long as HIN doesnt get a ton of complaints about noise then everyone can shop there

[breyerhorserock]

@poeticussomnibus ok b/c that is where i have to stay

[poeticussomnibus]

@breyerhorserock haha if you dont want to stay there I will happily take your room xD I would give you a free model if you did!

[breyerhorserock]

@poeticussomnibus no XD i already have my tickets. and i just found some classics that i don't want so i am gonna sell them there too.

[breyerlover2448]

how much money did u need to buy all thoose breyers

[Jianna1397]

I have a question...how much money should someone bring for JUST buying models?

[poeticussomnibus]

@Jianna1397 as much as you can save up :) 

[LivandApollox]

Hi how do you pay for breyerfest? Do you pay for flights, accomadation, tickets then just..go? And of course buy LOADS of Breyers! :)

[poeticussomnibus]

@LivandApollox yeah you can buy tickets through breyer and then the rest of the stuff you just get like a normal trip (flight, hotel,...)

[medib2]

Are you going to Breyerpeep's meet?

[poeticussomnibus]

@medib2 yep probaably

[medib2]

@poeticussomnibus awesome! I'm going there too!! And thanks for this video! It really helped me!

[poeticussomnibus]

@carlycb20 yeah if you want to go to the meet or something

[MultiZenyatta1]

[JumpingRider13]

@MultiZenyatta1 its at teh kentucky horse park in Lexington, KY

[lilim98]

Do you get any for free and how much is it for the traditionals?

[poeticussomnibus]

@lilim98 yeah you get the celelebration horse free for every 3 day ticket you buy

[FancyHorseLover]

Did I count correctly? You got 27 breyers from Breyerfest? WOW!!!

[breyerlover2448]

[poeticussomnibus]

@carlycb20 they will look at all the horses' conditions including hoofrubs in order to place them

[BreyerCool]

candy penguin19 yes it is in kentucky BUT it is at the kentucky HORSE PARK...so aha! lol

[BreyerCool]

thumbs up if your going to breyerfest 2012

[Beturblueboonsluver]

@BreyerCool I am glad I'm not the only one who has to wait.

[CandyPenguin19]

@carlycb20 If you bought a horse and then found it cheaper somewhere I think you would regret it

[BreyerGals678]

Where is breyer fest????

[CandyPenguin19]

@BreyerGals678 Kentucky

[BriNStar4ever]

LUV the pic at 2:48 !!! lol...WISH i could go to breyerfest...but i live in Fl...grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! XD

[poeticussomnibus]

@carlycb20 yep I will be there :)

[ScarletGirl11]

@poeticussomnibus hay can u show stablemates in the model shows?

[poeticussomnibus]

@carlycb20 I just bring as much as I can save

[poeticussomnibus]

@carlycb20 it actually doesnt matter as much now cause they are getting alot better at not being super rowdy, so if you want you could stay at the inn

[breyerluver789]

how huch is it to enter the youth show at breyerfest i have 1 horse i want to show

[poeticussomnibus]

@breyerluver789 its 30 I believe to enter as many classes as you want

[RainbowZebra99]

•Do you need labels for performance classes in the youth show?

•What do you write on the labels?

•Does the info on the labels need to go in any particular order?

•Hold old do you need to be to enter the youth show and what is the oldest you can be to enter?

Thank you xx

[poeticussomnibus]

@RainbowZebra99

1) yes you do

2) yeah they will let you know exactly how it needs to look

3) 16 is the oldest. I think 13-14 is the youngest

[horseyluver2447]

This'll be my first year going. Do you have any more tips for newbies??

[poeticussomnibus]

@horseyluver2447 yeah when I have time I am making a new vid

[horseyluver2447]

@poeticussomnibus OK thanks!

[barebackgirl1]

Ok,This is my First Year going to Breyer Fest. and I have Some very needed anwsers!

I know it Cost 75$ for the Ticket,and you get the free Breyer. But im wanting to enter some of my breyers.Ok,

1)How Many Horses can I Enter?

2)How Much Money does it Cost for Each Horse to be Entered?

3)Should I Make Up Names?

4)Do I get Judged higher if i add Scenery,or is that a differnt class?

5) Please Just Give Me Some Tips About BF!

[poeticussomnibus]

@barebackgirl1 tickets dont include shows, you have to sign up for those seperatly. It is all one price and you can enter 1 horse per class and enter as many classes as you want! Yes make up names. No scenary is allowed in halter but you can for performance and scene classes

[breyerluver789]

how much are 3 day tickets PLEASE reply!!!!!

[poeticussomnibus]

@breyerluver789 I think they are around 60-70 dollars for adult tickets but thats not exact

[horsesaywhat]

@poeticussomnibus i dont get the special run thing PLEASE REPLY O AND HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU THIink i need!!:)

[poeticussomnibus]

@horsesaywhat I think I am going to redo this to explain it better. I would bring as much as you can. Usually around 200-400 dollars

[ArabianGal2019]

in the warehouse where you buy them is it full of every breyer ever made and could you buy really anything? also if you get a 3 day pass do you automatically get a special run? please answer! :)

[poeticussomnibus]

@ArabianGal2019 Its not every breyer ever made but you have a very good chance of finding what you are looking for. Yes you automatically get a chance for a SR if you buy a 3 day ticket

[JumperPrincess105]

Hi, thanks for the video. Is the holdiday inn "room shops" only open Friday or everyday?

[poeticussomnibus]

@JumperPrincess105 I think they do open on saturaday and maybe even thursday, but thats just some of the rooms. They all are open Friday

[2009breyerfan]

Lets just say if I bought a ticket for me and my mom. Is each ticket a 3 day ticket or do you have to choose a 3 day ticket?

[poeticussomnibus]

@2009breyerfan there is 2 options. you can get a 1 day ticket or 3 day ticket

[2009breyerfan]

@poeticussomnibus do they cost the same?

[poeticussomnibus]

@2009breyerfan no 3 day tickets are more expensive

[2009breyerfan]

@poeticussomnibus Ok thanks!

[Horsewisperer1998]

Could u explain getting a Celebration Model to me? I didn't under stand

[poeticussomnibus]

@Horsewisperer1998 if you buy a 3 day ticket then you automatically get a free celebration horse. So when you get your little packet of stuff there will be tickets for the celebration model (however many 3 day tickets you bought)

[templadoluver45]

Do the tickets ever get sold out??

[poeticussomnibus]

@templadoluver45 no but you get alot more benifits if you get them early. The shows and worckshops do though

[templadoluver45]

@poeticussomnibus Thx!

[templadoluver45]

Do the tickets ever get sold out??

[SkatesNSaddles]

How much did you save for BreyerFest?

[BloodAuraHorse]

Thats a relief! Going to BreyerFest 2011 and didnt know how things work lol (first timer)

[SkatesNSaddles]

@BloodAuraHorse Ha ha ha, same. Have fun!

[BloodAuraHorse]

@SkatesNSaddles Haha XD Thank you you too! :D

[ruffianlol]

I'm going to Breyerfest 2011 .I saved up to 500 to 600 I think .

where are the SR?

[poeticussomnibus]

@ruffianlol They havent anounced any yet. But if you mean where at breyerfest they would be, they are at the breyer store at the far end of the indoor arena

[ruffianlol]

@poeticussomnibus Did you go all three day to Breyerfest? Do you think It's worth the money to go all three days or should I just go one or two?I don't get the part at 0:43. is it on the ticket. yes Im was talking about breyerfest.

[poeticussomnibus]

@ruffianlol I go all 3 days. I dont think Sunday is very important and I usually dont go that day. I think it is worth the 3 day ticket because of the benefits you get (special runs, workshops, etc...) What part is at :43? Is that the special run stuff?

[ruffianlol]

@poeticussomnibus thanks. I still don't understand , for  example IF they call 47 and you where 46 your in the back ,then if they call 45 and your 43 your in the front .That part I don't understand. sorry to bug you to much. i'm just asking you for help thanks :)

[poeticussomnibus]

@ruffianlol basically what ever number they call they start counting UP from there. So if you were 45 and they call 46, then you are the last person in line. But if you are number 47 then you are second in line

[breyerhorserock]

i took this advice, and it went smoothly, it would have been smoother though if the fire alarm didn't go off at the holiday inn though XD

[poeticussomnibus]

@breyerhorserock OMG i know!! That was soooo scary and weird! I didnt know what to do. I had just left my mom and was walking by myself. She was soooo worried about me

[breyerhorserock]

@poeticussomnibus i was down in the ball room waiting for 7, and heading to the swap meet, and there was this little kid there and he just started screaming his head off

[ridgeoakstables4441]

when you get the free model ticket where do you turn the ticket in so you can get the model?

[poeticussomnibus]

@ridgeoakstables4441 you line up when your time is and then when you are walking in you show the tickets to the people handing out the models and they mark it for you so you dont get more than 2

[fanappaloosa]

how much do you think everything would cost?including the plane the hotel and the entry cost?

[poeticussomnibus]

@fanappaloosa uhhh well it really matters where you stay and where you are flying in from. I never have this problem cause I live 1 hour away from the park so I cant really tell you how much it would be :)

[wildspiritwolfrun]

erm is it at lexington horse park every year

[poeticussomnibus]

@wildspiritwolfrun yes

[wildspiritwolfrun]

me needs new horsies xeyes grow bigx  evil muffin xxscreamxx diesxx XD

[horsefeathersgirl100]

I am new to this... :/ but anyway... but how do you get started with collecting?

[poeticussomnibus]

@horsefeathersgirl100 just start buying a horse or two :) I started out with stablemates when I was 7 and didnt start collecting traditional until I was around 13. I would highly recommend MH$P.com they have a HUGE selection of models being sold by different people so you get exctremely low prices

[mylittlesongbird1]

where is breyerfest 1011?

[wildspiritwolfrun]

@mylittlesongbird1 its at kentucky horse park july 15 - 17 theme is fairy tales

[oliviarose9]

Do you know which horses usually win each class at breyerfest? For example: War Admiral special run, judges love this model in the thoroughbred class

[RainbowZebra99]

I am saving up for BreyerFest, so don't expect me there for about a decade xD

[breyerfreek151]

i mite go this sumer with my friend do u think we should split up to get the speshl runs or stay together. if we spit up and take turns do you think it would help?

[poeticussomnibus]

@breyerfreek151 well you may not get the same times as her. Where you are in line matters what number is pulled and what number you have. So you most likely wont have the same time/number than your friend.

[morgancreststables7]

How do u buy a three day ticket? And do u show ur models at breyerfest? I'm new to model horse collecting so ya!!:)

[poeticussomnibus]

@morgancreststables7 go to the Breyer website and buy them off of there. I used to show at Breyerfest and might start again but I am not planning on showing there any time soon. I hope you have a fun time collecting (but be careful once you start you cant stop!!) xD

[tam121479]

how does the special run thing go again i dont understand 

[HawkfeatherWarrior]

I dont get one thing... What do u mean by its your turn to go shop for special runs???

[poeticussomnibus]

@HawkfeatherWarrior They give you a ticket with a date, time, and number on it. So you go when your date and time is then they pull a number out of a hat and you line up in order. Its just so everyone has a fair chance to get the models they want

[magicmares24]

who is that pony at 1:49 ?

[poeticussomnibus]

@magicmares24 That's Appydaze. He was a special run at Breyerfest about 3-4 years ago

[supdood2]

i have a ?

i might stop buy for one day without staying at a hotel in 2012 does it cost to be there and would models be really expensive because im not buying a 3 day ticket??

[picco8998]

Your guide rocks! =D

1 question, what is the cheapest price for a breyer you have ever found?

[poeticussomnibus]

@picco8998 Free xD

[allthelovelybadones]

how do you join breyerfest i want to so bad i just dk how HELP ANYBODY!! :)

[breyerchick97]

for the youth and childrens show, would you reccomend setting up your "scene" at the park or in your hotel room? which is easier?

[Breyergal1]

thanks some of the material in this SAVED my life! and some other tips from my friends. thanks and check out my vids if you want! if you dont i totally understand. even someone not known like me is busy.

[88saddleseat88]

Why is it so important to pick up your celebration model later?

[saddlebread553]

I've all way wanted to go to breyerfest it's my life long dream for Breyer but for my golden b-day I'm going on a crouse not very exciting for an almost 13 year old girl how owns breyers .OH I have question do you have rascal.could you watch my videos plz no one because they can't find them or they suck:( it's under saddlebread553

[crzy4horses1]

[BreyerLoverforLife]

@crzy4horses1 no you haft to buy them

[Brenvenn]

@ForeverHoofbeats i mail alll my breyers i get at breyerfest back to my house

[carolynemmahurd]

so if u buy a three day ticket you get the celebration model for free????

[BreyerLoverforLife]

@carolynemmahurd really not free because you haft to buy the ticket to get, but yes you pay no money when you pick it up

[Showjumper1011]

[margohorses2]

[dmenkhau]

[xhidalgox24]

I think you forgot just one thing -

You will faint of the amazingness as soon as you walk through that gate ..

[SkatesNSaddles]

Thanks SO much! You are a huge help!

[poeticussomnibus]

@ForeverHoofbeats I would, although I drive. But just make sure you have ALOT of extra room in suitcases/extra to carry them home

[lovehorsesx1000]

I am selling my FVO at breyerfest!! If you are going to the meet I can sell him to you for probably cheaper then in the stores. LMK thanks!

[FeatherstheWildHawk]

Wait, so if I buy a three day ticket, I get 2 special run tickets and both are worth 2 each? Wow! I thought that I would only get 1 SR per SR ticket, but this is fantastic! Haha, unfortunately, if I DO go, I'll have to go to the Holiday Inn b/c its the cheapest host hotel and my friend is going there and since I'm going w/out parents, I gotta be in the same hotel as her!! :)

[gabby33384]

Should you pre order tickets online or should you just buy them at breyerfest when it starts?
