 video I'm going to be giving you an updated 2023 collection tour. So I'll put a disclaimer that this is a good 15 years of collecting and a lot of my customizing journey has funded this hobby for me. I understand I have a lot of horses but I've worked very hard for all of them and they all hold a very special place in my heart. And with that I only collect horses that I like. So you'll see a lot of congas here but congoing isn't my desire at all. I also predominantly only collect matte finish horses and in realism but I do have a handful of glossy models and I've been acknowledging glossy a little bit more. I also have a few models scattered around the house so let's get started. Starting over here I have two bobby joes out of the blue, a collector's club online exclusive, paint me a Pepto, three classic reigning horses so these aren't traditional scale. I really like this mold since buying Drifter. Reigning horse association horse Slider who was a web special. I really am a sucker for buckskin so I took the gloss on this one. I think it really accentuates the model and Hollywood done it. A few foals here, a premier club foal when it was released on this sculpture. Briar Fest special run set, Chico. Briar Fest special run foal from the Julep and Pym set and I really like him. Smoke from the JC Penney smoke and mirror set and the original as Just a Dream. Quad conga of Misty. Phantom and Misty gift set, sorry the original Misty and Stormy but like the updated 2000s version. There from the Pony family set that was released in the 2000s as well. I think they did a superb job of her coloration. And then my favorite Briar mold ever is the Nicota mold and you can tell because I have a very large conga of him. This is the longest Briar conga that I have. Cannaretta Cheveo who was a collector's choice. Probably my favorite childhood Briar. I find this mold very dynamic and very fun. I have a lot of memories with this guy even though he's not perfect. Isidore Cruz Toro. The Briar Fest special run pop the cork in Palomino Pinto in Chestnut Ovaro. This one is really rare and hard to find. Briar Fest special run Sundance Nicota horse which was the original release for this mold and I feel like this is probably my all-time favorite Briar ever. I just love the dynamicness of the sculpt and this is quite possibly one of Briar's best paint jobs. The Briar Fest pop the cork special run in the Bay variation. I've got a small conga that matches my Misty conga in the Stormy full Phantom and Misty gift set. This is an older Stormy. I don't exactly know his history but he's very orange. He came in a body lot and I didn't have the heart to customize him just because he looks like a Cheeto. Waiting for Santa gift set horse who's very hard to find as well but I love this mold. I find it so sweet. The original Stormy from the gift set. I also have a strong draw to the Roxy molds. I really like the mold. She's got a very soft gentle face so I've got quite a few on this mold as well. Briar Fest celebration horse the original release of the mold who is Stacey Westfall's Roxy and I really liked Stacey Westfall at the time so it was very exciting to have this horse. Bet Your Blue Boons. Briar Fest special run CC Shuffle surprise horse and this particular one is the Blue Roan Ovaro variation who is very rare hard to find. She's got a really cool face. Cody, Constellation, another CC Shuffle surprise horse but in Grula and this don't look twice. Briar Fest celebration horse Nicholas. Large Secession and Leafire conga. This is a mold that I really really adore. This set is a very rare hard to find set as well. It was a web special from the Great America series Deon and Moab. I then have the original Secession and Leafire. This wasn't the original original set. This was the reboot edition that the Briar launched online. This is probably my favorite set of this conga. It's the JC Penney Buckskin Marenful and it also came with the Huckleberry Bay Stallion. Briar Fest special run Naomi and Wyona. A web special unicorn Marenful. I didn't buy these guys for the collection. I actually bought them as bodies but I'm just keeping them here until I decide to customize them. My very first Secession and Leafire set which is the color crazy treasure hunt that was my fourth Briar ever. That's kind of my era and these guys were definitely played with and were part of my carpet herd so they're not in mint condition but I love the set. I have a handful of Weather Girls. This is the original sunny Weather Girl treasure hunt. Briar Fest Jasmine. Partly cloudy from the treasure hunt and Thunderstorm from the treasure hunt. I've got a few foals here on the Warmblood mold. Child Star from the Briar Fest special run set. Heartbreaker from Gigi Valentine and Heartbreaker set. Zenyatta's Foal Warmblood full set that they released a little while back. I do not remember their names. A Premier Club mare in full set. Astrid from the Premier Club. These guys I'm not super keen on. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them. A Felpony. I can't remember the name. This was a Briar Fest special run mare in full set. The New Set. I can't remember the name either. Web Special Christmas Horse. The original Premier Club Rhian and Caddall set. Small Conga of Bouncer's. Gingerbread which was a Web Special. Applejack. JC Penney special run in Buckskin and this one I believe came with a Cleveland Bay as a set. I named this horse Twizzler and I feel like that suits him so well but it's Brickside's Pink Magnum and the original Bouncer. I just love how cheeky the mold is. A Icelandic Pony here and Justin Morgan. Going up to the next shelf I have a small newsworthy conga. I don't remember this one's name. I want to say Baloo Hanamara who has really terrible tuffle. The original newsworthy. The name slips me as well. I don't remember Indian Pony conga as well. Briar Fest special run stent double. Savannah D'Al. This is an older one with kind of that splatter painting. I just thought she was really unique. Saddle Club Bell. The 70th anniversary Apollosa. I cannot pronounce the name of this one so I will write it on the screen but this is probably my favorite Indian Pony. She's just really well executed for the time. I also really enjoy Shasta Moon here. She's very pretty. Three strapless models. Original strapless. JAH special run party girl. Fueling my inner buckskin cravings. One of the most beautiful buckskins Briar has done for sure. Briar Fest special run Epona. The legendary Briar Bristol who needs a different spot somewhere to better display him. He is a lovely. I love him so much. Two horses on the Esprit mold. I find him very whimsical. The Briar Fest Samba surprise in black and white and then my favorite. Same model in the Dunn Tobiano. I also really enjoy the kind of account mold. Another mold that is kind of overseen. He's fun. I really, really like him. Pottery Barn special run. That's actually quite rare. This is the JC Penny special run. Not the regular run that they later released in a similar colorway. Chilly and the original kind of account. Paroy Damsha Khonga or Dancing Heart. And this is the original Premier horse that was released on the mold. And when I saw the promo photos for this horse, I had to have it. I was like, that's the most beautiful sculpture, most beautiful buckskin I've ever seen. When the factory models started arriving, it fell flat. So I didn't originally want this model, but this one came up for sale at a really reasonable price. And she actually has really decent shading in my opinion. So I do have her. And then I have Bramble, who was a web special. Very sought after. Unicorn, who I don't collect fantasy things, but this is just too fun to not have. Beechcomber, Starlet, a web special, Banks Vanilla, Briar Fest, special run Chanel, and the Sable Island pony. Another really special mold to me is the Andalusian mold. I find that sculptures by Kathleen Moody have a lot of personality. Gala had a Briar Fest special run. Calliente was a briar tour model. JC Penny, a special run. And this is perhaps one of the best grays Briar has ever done. Nobel 2, Celebration Horse. Look at the shading. And he has like a metallic-ness to his coat, so he glistens in the light. Hero's Surprise. This is Krypton's Senai 2, and the original Black Andalusian, who is equally as gorgeous as Nobel 2. Two on the Akultekke Akultik mold, however you pronounce it. The original Premier Club Altonai, who I repainted the eyes from Blue to Brown. Atomic. Ethereal mold is another one that I have a very long conga of Christmas Horse, which was named Noche Bueno. And then I have the original Ethereal set. So this is Water. This little series was some of the best paint jobs that Briar did in a regular run. So that's Wind, Earth, Fire. This is a regular run, guys. This looks like a one-of-a-kind raffle horse, but this was, you could buy this in the store. I remember seeing these in the store. Wilder, which was a tractor-supply company, Special Run. This is a regular run, just a Grilla O'Vero. Super nice too. Briar Fest Special Run, Spun Gold Surprise in Buckskin Blanket Apollosa. Clearly I had to have this one. This checks all of my boxes. I'm not a decorator person, but this color is so loud. It's my favorite shade of teal, and my favorite shade of red. So the model name was Anthem. Got a few drafters here. Briar Fest Benelli. He did a really superb job of him. The regular Gray Shire Briar Fest Special Run Vahalla, I think his name was, and the Christmas Horse Woodland Splendor. I've also got quite a Flash Conga, Little Texas Starlight from the Saddle Club. Briar Fest Stoneley Surprise in Bay Tobiano. The Fun with Model Horses Collecting in Gray. Briar Fest Volunteer Model Ben Nevis, Nevis, and this is the liver chestnut variation. That was my first Briar Fest I got to do work for, so he's a really special horse. This is the original Flash Tractor Supply Company rider list, but a really lovely shaded dun. And this is Chardonnay. Another old mold I really admire is the San Domingo mold. An old Cheeto horse that I'm going to customize. This one was from the Let's Go Riding Set ELCR Benefit Model, which was a special run that they released where the proceeds went to land conservation. And that was the liver chestnut variation, and I also have the Palomino variation from the same promotion. Sport, the Bonanza series. Vintage Club Rowan, and I love this horse. And this particular model was a chestnut that was released in the 2000s when I started collecting, and I remember seeing him and always wanting him, so I'm very happy to have him. Black Beauty, Let's Go Riding Playset. And this guy, Collector's Club, and his name was Nanoma. Came in a couple different variations with war paint on him. Stock horses over here on the Cody mold. Let's Go Riding Playset. This Bonanza Coach Eyes is like a giant place that you bought, and this was the horse that came with it. Another Bonanza horse, really nice little Apollosa. It's one of Briar's best paint jobs, I think. A really intense Sabino. This is Salpidica, Salpicata. I don't know how you say it. And then I've got this Lady FaZe, who they did a really good job on her. I'm not a Lady FaZe fan, though. My Adios Conga. This is the Old Style Vintage kind of splattery way that they used to paint. This guy, I don't remember what he is, but he's some form of special run. But I really liked the Old Style Apollosa patterning that they did on him. Merritt, Buttermilk. It was a really nice lineback done. Champagne Toast, who was executed amazing. He's Briar Fest's special run. Poker Joe, J.C. Penny's special run in Dunn, so he's linebacked as well. I've got a handful of the Marwari mold here. Nazarden Celebration Horse, the regular Marwari, Collector's Club, Raja, Hot Couture, Briar Fest special run. He's really cool, and he has the regular horse ears instead of the curly ears. And this is Briar Fest's special run, Tisili. Then I've got a couple Big Ben Nautical, who's an older special run. He's very, very yellowy. Double Exposure, who's a lovely gruylla color. He comes in glossy RCMP portrait model from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He's got Canadian flag on his bum there. Briar Fest, Once Upon a Time, and Milton. Two Andalusian Mares, Premier Club, Hermosa. She's a really well done black and white. Briar Fest's special run. Mamacita, Zippo Pine Bar. Store Special, Zipped in Black Magic. They did a really superb job on him. Another favorite is Impress Me Shannon, rugged painted lark. Picture Perfect Quarter Horse. This was a set that was in the 2000s at some point, where they released a model and it came with a disposable camera and a guide on how to photograph your horse. So he's kind of cool. Zipp's Chocolate Chip, Little Rikki Rocker, and Fleet Street Max. This is my Giselle Conga, JAH Limited Edition Millang. The original Heartbreaker, Briar Fest stage mom. Web Special Hera from the Briar Goddesses series. They did a really great job of her roning and the shadings in her black. Slate Surprise in Leopard Apollosa. A trio of the Cannery Moorblood, Ichabod Crane, Store Special, and Denisha's Northern Temptist or Danny. Probably one of the best oppies they've done. I don't remember what this guy's name is, but he's a nice Palomino Apollosa. A trio on the Trubidor mold, Briar Fest Special Run Ansel, and the Christmas Horse Snowbird, and Morgan Quest's Native Sun, as well as Bluegrass Bandit. Color is probably one of Briar's best apple grays. A trio of Salonero. This is Briar Fest Ray's Ling, Special Run. He's a really basic chestnut, but a really well done chestnut. Collector Choice Cloudknife. And then I have a singular sham, which is the Black Stallion. This is Briar Fest Tobon Effect, Tractor Supply Company, Special Run Travis, and Cortes C. Then I have a decent conga of the Idychus Idychus Mold. This is Rabble, Special Run Wapiti, Snowman, Briar Fest Buttercream, who's a really light done, Brinello, Briar Fest Shebley, and Idychus or Idychus Christmas Horse, Dominante. And then I have a couple of the Proud Arabian Mare, because it's another vintage mold I really admire. This is Karma, a JH, Special Run from 1993, and it is Steel Dust. And then this is my favorite Bennett Arai. She's a tour model from, I believe, the year 2000. She's a really cool shaded done. And then I just have a bae, limited edition Carinosa, who is another really nice chestnut. She is number 8,838 out of 10,000. And then I have some Smarty Jones models, Wind Talker here. He has one brown eye and one blue eye. The 70th anniversary surprise model, Briar Fest Special Run Rushmore. The original Smarty Jones, which is when the mold was released. This is the first horse that came with it. And one of the nicest chestnuts. Secretariat and Tractor Supply Company, Special Run, who has a blank beat bump. Briar of Ruffians up here. Rachel Alexandra, Puku, Mid-State Special Run, and Rags to Riches. Show Jumping Wormblood. Mon Dammon, who is really lovely. Christmas Horse Jewel, who I won from a Briar drawing contest back in the day. Briar Fest Special Run Wish Upon a Star in Matt. He's a really pretty blanket upalooza. Ideal. This guy, I'm unsure of exactly who he is. He has remarkable shading. Briar Fest Rocket Winx, Tractor Supply Company Eclipse. I also really love Silver. Tractor Supply Company, I don't remember his name, Matrix. I got him at the same time I got Cheveo. Webb is Special Reboot of Black Beauty and I've had Dalgo. This one is one of my favorites ever. This is Hobo. He is a lovely buckskin done, but he has a little heart on his butt. Treasure Hunt in Sabino and Blue Suede Shoes, who is also a really lovely model. Rhinish Draft from Briar Fest Theo and Honey Bear, a web special. Two Cleveland Bay models here. Oliver from Briar Fest and this was O'Leary's Irish Diamond. Aurelis, Tractor Supply Company Jasper, Picasso, and this is Briar Fest Thornicraw, volunteer model. Three of the Bollywood Surprise models. So this one in Dunn, in Bay Tobiano and Chestnut O'Vero. Briar Fest Special Run Platinum Star and Harley D. Zip. These guys are really lovely. I love this Dunn one. He's a really soft, butter-malky buckskin and I love the O'Vero one as well. He has really nice shading, flucking through his body. Then I've got a couple of little babies here. This is Boone. He's a little miniature horse in buckskin. Hadell from the Premier Club. This is the Mayor and Full Set from Briar Fest. The Regular Run Welsh Set. This little guy is like a classic baby, but I love his little spots. Briar Fest, Celebration Horse, Joker, Collector Club Special, Gideon, Collector Choice, Sierra Blanco, Mark Chicalina, Shining and Sassy, Garrett, the Legro, here. Collector Club for Limited Edition. Don't remember his name. Enchanted Briar Fest Special Run Total Ass and Adia HP. I have a few lonesome glories here. Wapasha, who has a bunch of war paint markings on him. Love, love, love this guy. This was the Briar Fest 2015. I don't remember what the Surprise Horse was called, but it was the Surprise Heart and this is another variation of that same model, but in a Chestnut O'Vero. Then I've got two banners, Traktor Supply Company Samson and the original Gypsy Banner. Don't remember his name, but he's like a buckskin paint. I don't remember this one's name either or this one's name. This is Ash Quar, I guess, was his name and this is the Premier Club original release of the sculpture and this is one of the best Chestnuts I've seen. And this particular copy of this is so nice. All three of the Seven Arts Surprise Pintelusa, which Briar doesn't do very often. Store Special, his name is Hal, the two other Seven Arts surprises. This one was the one that I wanted the most, Chestnut Splash. Then I have a very decent American Saddlebred Conga here. I also really love this mold. He's so handsome and harmony. This was a Christmas horse for one of the years. His name was Duke, J.C. Spenny Special Run. He's really lovely. Chebasco, the original Black and White Saddlebred when the mold was released and a Traktor Supply Company that I do not remember the name of, but the original is really fun. This is like classic Briar Saddlebred. Bozeman, he's really pretty. I have a hole here for a lone soldier that needs a new base. Black Tie Fair. Meringo was his name. This is the J.C. Penney Family Stallion, the original Huckleberry Bay. And this is the Treasure Hunt Prize model from the Colour Crazy Treasure Hunt. Briar Fest Special Run, Thorne, Pickstead, Passport to Model Horse Collecting, the Warehouse Special in Chestnut, is one of the best buckskins they've done too. So I really like him. I then have a couple new and box briars that are for mostly customizing. So I have a new and box Albaroso Illumination Nicoda that lives in my spare bathroom. I also have a few classics and stablemates that live over here on my windowsill. I won't go through them all, but here's an overview. I have this trio in my living room, which consists of Kylie Parks Sculpted and Painted Troubadour, Raven Maddox Sculpted and Painted Fireheart, and Lynn Fraley Sculpted Battlefield Angel. And these are kind of the three influential artists in my life. So I really admire Kylie Parks' style, and she's very inspiring to me. I'm very good friends with Raven, and she's given me a ton of advice through the years as well. And both Raven and Lynn Fraley taught me in a sculpting workshop recently. So I had to have a piece of lens as well, and this is her first Briar Sculpt too. So this trio in my living room to remind me of my roots. I also have this decorator distatto that lives in my plant window over there. Albarozo lives in my living room too. And I've got a couple in the TV stand as well. So this is Briar Fest Special Run Ringmaster and Lady Liberty. And then the original Spirit and Rain, Brady and Tennessee Titan, Pickery, something or other. And Briar Fest Special Run Oliver. I also have a handful of models here in my spare room, and these are just like carpet herd horses, and basically ones that didn't fit on the shelf downstairs. So I've got the porcelain one too, and a old rearing stallion and semi-rearing stallion. I've even got a couple scattered through my master bedroom. And then of course all of the custom models. More custom models and a couple more. Some of these will forever remain with me while others are for sale. And these two are two of my favorite Briar molds that I have just repainted with no customization. Thank you so much for watching. I hope that you enjoyed this collection tour. I've enjoyed sharing it all with you. And this is the first tour in the new studio set up, so that's also very exciting. Thank you so much for watching and happy collecting yourself. Don't put yourself at the standard that you do not need this many models. This is a long time. Long time coming.
