Bouncer ~ Hope 2022 - Benefit Model for PATH
Low stock: 5 left
Sweet Bouncer has been transformed into a mare who wears a special bay pinto pattern that includes a hidden image of a girl giving her a hug around her neck, and of a heart with a child's handprint in it. But she's more than she seems! She wears a pink sheen on her body and a blue sheen in her mane and tail... They show only in some light, so she may look like your normal, everyday pinto inside, but out in the sun, she becomes a decorator! All of this coolness is covered in beautiful high-gloss, making her a lovely model.
This Hope, first in the "Hope of the Year" series, was originally going to be a single-year release in 2022, but due to production delays, she was available in late 2022 through 2023.
She is also the first Breyer model to be shipped in plastic-free packaging! This is a brand-new, eco-friendly concept that Breyer is trying. Her box is cardboard and her ties are paper-based, so she's also going to always be a special part of Breyer history!
Breyer is donating $1 from the purchase of each of Hope model to the wonderful organization PATH International (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship), an organization that teaches and certifies instructors in using horses to heal. Clients may be physically or mentally challenged, have PTSD, or other life issues, and horses can be wonderful healers! Some work with horses on the ground, others learn to ride, but having a therapeutic riding facility in your area is a great help to the community. This girl was retired in 2023.
We're lucky to have Riding To The Top in our area, and the designer of this beautiful Bouncer release was a volunteer there! In-hand photos below are of the sample piece we were able to see at Riding To The Top in June of 2022. You can read more about it, and our visit with Breyer's VP of Creative, here.
These are new inventory, straight from the manufacturer to our store, in their sealed boxes.
