But I am not going to get too upset if I don’t get picked because I seriously have way too much going on right now: one more pretty pony might push me over the edge.
Speaking of, my little Brabants arrived the other day and I love my Drafty Unicorn Solaris:
Just be your own color folks, whatever color that is. (Mine appears to be… ecru? Kind of a yellowy-gray beige? Sounds about right.)
The newly announced BreyerFest Plushie is cute and the swag – tee-shirts et al – are nice, but I’m not really sure how the Game of Thrones references are particularly relevant. But then again I’m about as Celtic as Chinese Take-out, so none of it is particularly doing it for me, other than the basic BreyerFest tee.
(And people are reading way too much into those “House Brighty”, “House Bristol” shirts: it’s just four popular and somewhat on-theme molds that happen to have names that start with the letter “B”.)
Incidentally, after giving the matter entirely too much thought, I’ve compiled my Special Run preference list, running from most to least wanted:
Slainte Surprise
Hamish (Bull)
Thorn (Trakehner)
Oak (Georg)
Lugh (Sham)
Brighid and Beltane (Welsh Mare and Foal)
Epona (Strapless)
Ash (Othello)
Boudicca (Andalusian Mare)
Technically my first two choices are the Bull Hamish and the Trakehner Thorn, but I don’t think those will be in particularly high demand. This way if I end up with one good spot in the queue I’ll get a Surprise. If not (very likely) I should still get the rest of what I want anyway.
I hope. It’s another one of those things I’m trying to not think about too much.

I actually like a couple of the swag designs this year, which is saying something. I don't know if it's my design training, personal tastes, etc, but I am usually very underwhelmed by BF designs. I do like the shirt you mentioned (though I wish there were more colorful versions) & the double horse head heart design, which, of course, is kids' wear. Welp, maybe other items with it will be added later. Or not, which is ok, I will take the chance to wear my '05 BF polo, which is the warmest piece of clothing I own that has short sleeves, while plopped in the AC during whatever happens online. It's all good (as long as I get my Lugh)!
