Do you or someone you know collect Breyer Horses?

Salvino is one of the newest additions to the Breyer Model Horses stable! Salvino, owned by Betsy Juliano, had a remarkable competitive career under the skilled guidance of rider Adrienne Lyle. Together, they achieved significant success, including winning the Team Silver medal at the 2020 Summer Olympic Games.

At the request of Betsy Juliano, a longtime supporter of TDF, Breyer Horses will donate $1 of every purchase of this Salvino model to TDF.  Order here, or wherever Breyer Horses are sold, and you’ll help support TDF!
