BreyerFest Holiday Inn

Just got back from the Holiday Inn. If you haven't been before, that is one of the great places to go during BreyerFest. TONS of Breyers!! And it is a sure way to make yourself TIRED!

Over the next few days, we will talk about our BreyerFest trip. Of course, we will tell you all about our new Breyers! We are really happy with our new models! We can't wait to get them to their Blue Oak Stables home!

Breyer Mare and Foal Painting Kit

We just finished up two Breyer customs! We started off with the Breyer Mare and Foal Painting Kit #4158. These are great to use for practice because they are fairly inexpensive (around $10). The only thing we don't like is that they have the imitation hair for their mane and tail. We prefer the regular material that you find on Traditional Breyers.

Anyway... we are really happy with how they turned out. We named the mare Dragon Fly and the foal Waterdrop.

Chincoteague Island Pony Swim

Stormy is excited to announce that Chincoteague Island was just named America's Best Beach Town by AOL Travel! According to Stormy, the most exciting thing about Chincoteague Island is the Annual Pony Swim and Auction!

The annual round up of wild ponies from Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge on Assateague Island on Virginia's Eastern Shore has captured the hearts and minds of visitors for years. Volunteer firemen round up the ponies on Assateague Island and on the last Wednesday in July (before the last Thursday), swim them across the channel to Chincoteague Island where they rest before being herded down Main Street to the carnival grounds. On the last Thursday of July, from 8:00 a.m. until noon, there is an auction held at the Carnival grounds to sell the foals born this year. - Virginia Tourism Corporation

For more information on the Pony Swim and Auction, visit Virginia's Tourism Site.

Oh... don't forget to visit Stormy at Blue Oak Stables!
