Gunner
Named 2002 USET Breyer Model Horse
|
Gladstone,
NJ—May 9, 2002—The United States Equestrian Team (USET)
is pleased to announce that Gunner, owned by Debra Sloan and ridden
to the 2001 USET Reining Championship by Bryant Pace, has been
chosen as the 2002 USET Breyer model horse. Gunner is the seventh
Breyer model in the popular USET series.
With
three different riders proving his versatility and athleticism,
Gunner was the 1996 NRHA Futurity Reserve Champion, the 1998 National
Reining Breeders Classic Reserve Champion, and the 2001 USET Champion.
He is currently 2nd in NRHA lifetime money earnings.
The
Breyer Hollywood Dun It sliding stop mold was used to create the
Gunner model. The specially designed Gunner horse will be limited
to a run of 750. Purchase of this special edition model is limited
to two (2) per customer or address. In the past, these models
have sold out quickly and become true collectibles for horse enthusiasts.
The price is $50.00 per model horse with a $5.00 shipping and
handling fee.
Since
1950 when the Breyer Molding Company was first commissioned to
produce a horse adorning a mantelpiece clock, Breyer model horses
have become more popular than ever. Their realistic appearance
and attention to detail make the models ideal treasures to keep
for generations. Additionally, model owners take great pride in
showing their horses in various classes offering a real horse
show experience without a real horse.
The
model will first be available for sale at the Bayer/USET Festival
of Champions, presented by State Line Tack, June 20 - 23 at the
USET Olympic Training Center in Gladstone, New Jersey. All models
remaining after the initial Festival sale will be filled from
mail/fax requests in the order in which they were received. If
you have any questions or would like a mail/fax request order
form, please call the USET Store at (908) 234-1251, ext. 43, or
