It still feels like we just got done with Breyerfest 2021 and we're already jumping into 2022 hitting the ground running. Prost is a German theme so it only makes since that the Celtic horse comes from a German background too, doesn't it?

"Imported as a two-year-old from breeder Ingrid Schmidt, who is based out of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, this handsome, gentle buckskin gelding has spent his whole life since training and competing under Lauren Chumley. This dynamic pair has gone up through the levels to the Grand Prix ring, but along the way Nikolas has competed up to Training level Eventing. In dressage, he’s brought home numerous championships from the National Dressage Pony Cup show, regional and all-breed titles, and a top 12 finish at the USEF Festival of Champions in 2021 in the Developing Grand Prix. This talented German Riding Pony has just started his career in the Grand Prix ring and is already giving his fans a reason to toast and say Prost! In addition to this, BreyerFest is giving fans another reason to cheer. This year’s Celebration Model is mold #815, the German Riding Pony, a from Brigitte Eberl making its debut for BreyerFest: Prost!" ~ Breyerfest Blog.

Nikolas is an adorable Pony with a plethora of achievements under his belt, well worth deserving of being a Celebration Horse! Not only is cute in person, his brand new model looks just as attractive. He reminds me a little of the Idocus mold so I'm excited to see more pictures of this guy from different angle. As if he isn't cool enough, Lauren Chumley also the rider and trainer for a horse previously already made into a Breyer, Avatar's Jazzman! Both Nikolas and Jazzman will be at the Kentucky Horse park to celebrate in person and virtually as Breyerfest 2022 will be hybrid meaning you can attend in person AND virtually.

So far I am still recovering from BF this year so the excitement hasn't quite sat in but I do plan on grabbing a ticket just for Nikolas at very least. How excited are you for the theme this year?
