VERY Image Intensive~ Please wait for photos to load, and I apologize for the inconvenience! Please read the entire description on this horse before placing your bid.
Up for auction is the 2008 Breyerfest Volunteer model. This model was only given to volunteers at
this years Breyerfest (I taught a workshop).
This is a very limited run, though I do not know exact numbers (It would
be safe to say under 100). This model
does come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Done on the Traditional scale Breyer Indian mold, she is a glossy deep
dappled bay tobiano. Her markings are
not mapped but she is still lovely.
About the condition
of the horse: I do not collect or
show OFs. However, there are a few
things on this horse that I personally see as flaws. Some of the stuff I managed to get off with
just a moist q-tip. Some of it appears
under the gloss coat though. Of the
variety of issues I see a few specks here and there, a hair or two under the
gloss coat, what looks like a speck on the hip that paint was missed (but it
has gloss over it), a few beige and black small blemishes on the legs and a
couple of black specks on the snip. She
also has a couple of paint runs (appears to be the gloss) and some areas on a
front hoof that appear rubbed but are under the glossy finish. Again, I tried to wipe what I could off, but
I dare not do anything else as I don’t want to damage the OF finish. It is
these flaws that are the reason she is priced so low. I have tried to photograph the flaws as best
as I could, but it is difficult to photograph these glossy horses. She is exactly how I received her from Breyer
(except for the blemishes that rubbed off).
If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact me. Though I have tried to document all of the
flaws there may be a few that I missed or did not show up in photos. On
some of the close up photos I have darkened it considerably so that you could
see the flaws through the gloss. The
first series of photos more accurately shows the color of the horse. I have tried to photoshop in some arrows to
point out the flaws I see.
The following show the horse’s color to the best of my
ability.
The rest of the photos highlight the flaws. There were a couple of hairs in the finish
that I simply could not get to show up in photographs and I apologize.
