Après-Ski - The Art of Mountain Celebration

"Après-ski" (French for "after skiing") refers to the social activities and entertainment that follow a day on the slopes - the cozy lodge gatherings, warm drinks by the fire, and festive celebrations that make winter mountain resorts so magical! This Holiday Horse captures that spirit perfectly, complete with skis and poles for the day's adventures and a luxurious faux fur blanket for the evening's relaxation!

Bay Warmblood Elegance

The warmblood featured in this ornament represents the athletic, versatile sport horses bred throughout Europe for excellence in dressage, show jumping, and eventing. The rich bay coloring - reddish-brown body with black mane, tail, and lower legs - is one of the most classic and beloved horse colors. This elegant warmblood is the perfect choice for a sophisticated après-ski theme!

Miniature Skis and Poles

The attention to detail extends to the miniature skis and poles included with this set! These authentic winter sports accessories are perfectly scaled to the Traditional horse, allowing you to create realistic après-ski scenes. Position the skis beside the horse after a day on the slopes, or display them as part of a complete mountain resort vignette!

Luxurious Faux Fur Blanket

The faux fur blanket adds a touch of mountain resort luxury! This cozy covering keeps the warmblood comfortable after a day in the cold mountain air, just like the premium blankets used at exclusive ski resorts. The soft texture and elegant appearance make this blanket a standout accessory that enhances the après-ski theme perfectly!

Investment-Grade Annual Collectible

Breyer's Holiday Horse series has demonstrated strong secondary market performance, with early editions (1997-2010) commanding premium prices among collectors. As a limited-edition annual release, the 2024 Après Ski will never be reproduced once the production run concludes. The 28th anniversary milestone makes this edition particularly significant for series completists!

Nearly Three Decades of Holiday Magic

The 2024 edition marks 28 years of the Holiday Horse tradition! From the debut in 1997 to this anniversary release, the series has celebrated countless themes - from winter wonderlands to festive celebrations. Collectors who have followed the series since the beginning now have nearly three decades of beautiful horses documenting Breyer's holiday artistry!

Winter Sports Heritage

This Holiday Horse celebrates the long connection between horses and winter sports! Before ski lifts, horses pulled sleighs to transport skiers up mountains. Even today, many alpine resorts feature horse-drawn sleigh rides and equestrian activities alongside skiing. The Après Ski theme honors this heritage while celebrating modern mountain resort culture!

Display and Collecting

Perfect for holiday mantel displays, this Traditional horse also shines in curio cabinets alongside other Holiday Horses, winter-themed displays with the skis and blanket creating a complete scene, or year-round as part of your Breyer Traditional collection. The 1:9 scale provides impressive presence and allows for detailed appreciation of all accessories!
