There’s a new Breyer model coming, and it’s none other than Will Coleman’s former 5* horse, Tight Lines!
“Phish” was a horse that finished as high as fifth at the 5* level (Maryland – 2021) with Will, and also had a talent for finishing on his dressage score, doing so twice at the top level of the sport. While he no longer competes as an eventer, he does still reside with the Colemans and has been ridden by Will’s wife, Katie, in pure dressage as well.
Tight Lines’ Breyer will become available for purchase early in 2025 and will be formerly unveiled at Breyer Fest at Kentucky Horse Park, July 11-13, 2025.
