Breyer Fest and Goffert 369 |
July 27, 2006 - 8:22 AM |
 Two straight blogs in a row! For the occasion everyone should check out the Breyer website, also because Breyer Fest is coming up later in the week. We are going with my aunt and are going to have some fun. For those who have no idea what Breyer Fest is, you are missing out. Breyer Fest is an enormous yearly gathering in Lexington KY where you can enter you Breyer models in classes and try to win, kind of like a real horse show. You tack up you models and you may set up a scene to go with them. We're going as spectators this year. You can enter in dressage, show jumping, western pleasure, or one of the other classes. It is really cool and if I were to tell you everything about it this would go on for ever. I've also decided to add a fact of the day and a behind the model section in my blog. FACT OF THE DAY: Did you know each zebra has its own personal striping pattern? This makes identification of individuals easy for researchers! BEHIND THE MODEL: Roy Rogers' Trigger Trigger was often billed as "the smartest horse in the movies" during his heyday with singing cowboy Roy Rogers. Though Rogers was the real star of the show, Trigger became a popular public figure right along with him. The pair starred in dozens of westerns in the 1930s and 1940s; Trigger even shared the title in two, My Pal Trigger (1946) and Trigger, Jr. (1950). (Rogers's wife and co-star Dale Evans had her own favorite horse, Buttermilk.) After his death in 1965, Trigger was mounted and placed in the Roy Rogers-Dale Evans Museum in California.
