Yes, that's a BAY ROAN 75th Anniversary AQHA Horse. That everyone was sure didn't exist because of the cryptic nonanswers Reeves was dishing out on social media.
For the record, there are a lot of horse and model horse people who do work there. It's just that they are not always the ones to answer the questions.
I was still so excited after I bought him that I carried him with both hands to the 7-11 next door to buy a celebratory Big Gulp.
He already has a name, by the way - Roan Where You Want To! Because I am a dork.
The store had also just unpacked its Elskas, too, but I was too excited about the Roan to look at them clearly, so I took a pass on them.
This was one of the colors I was hoping for, so it was a very happy ending to a very crazy week.
Two scoops in one week!
You are lucky! I stalked our Tractor Supply for weeks only for them to get in two AQHA horses....a bay and a sorrel of course!
ReplyDeleteThey did get in two Jesse's, but at $50 a pop, that was a little rich for my blood.
So Tractor Supply was a disappointment this year.
At least CAL Ranch got in some Mystery Foal stablemate sets....the new QH/Reiner and the Icelandic. So that was a consolation prize.
You have AMAZING luck finding things. I never find anything at swap meets either. You must be living in Breyer central!
I love that color! Congratulations and thanks for giving us a picture.

ReplyDeleteAs for living in a Breyer hotspot, yeah, I sort of do. Lots of TSCs, independent toy and hobby shops, tack shops, flea markets and thrift stores. Good pickings!
ReplyDeleteI think the Roans will probably be concentrated in smaller locally-owned stores, not national chains. But it's still too early to tell.
Congratulations! I have only one TSC that is barely close enough to visit and they don't have the roan or the grill, two I want very much. Neither has my regular local dealer gotten these colors. I went today to look at Elska and ended up passing on him, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat luck! I stalked my local TSC and caught them putting out Breyers but they only got one bay AQHA in. A very nice employee checked and said they were not expecting anymore in. *sigh*
