Collector's Classes are one of the unique features of the BreyerFest Open Model Horse Show.
These classes are not a part of the Collectibility division. They are a separate entity with their own rules & guidelines.
Each Collector's Class entry must consist of ten to twelve Breyer models.
Non-equines, clocks and lamps are allowed. Customized models are not.
The first and second place winners in each Collector's Class receive sectional prize models.
There are four different types of Collector's Classes. The first is the Commonality Class. Previously known as the Theme Class, this is the class for collections with a common theme.
Commonality Classes may be collections of the same mold...
or collections of a single color.
The second class is the Variety Class.
This class is for collections composed of an assortment of molds and/or colors.
Variety Class collections may also have a theme. This year, beer themed entries were a popular choice.
or Variety.
The final Collector's Class is the Novice Collector's Class. As its name implies, entry is restricted to showers who have not have won a Collector's Class at any live model horse show, nor shown before in the Open Collector's Class at any BreyerFest show.
Novice entries can be either Commonality or Variety.
Regardless of the specific class, documentation should be provided for each piece in the collection.
The displays for all Collector's Class entries are limited to a thirty by thirty fsix inch table space. There is no height limit, however, and some of the displays were very elaborate.
Even though this is not my part of the hobby, I absolutely love these classes.
The creativity...
The models...
Congratulations to the winners and thank you to all the participants. What a wonderful celebration of model horse collecting!

I don't drink but I am fascinated by that last photo. I had to look them all up on IDYB.
