Some folks have grand and unusual pieces that would be a real plus in the decor of the Cowboy Home. While not many use these old ways anymore, too time consuming and slow, the methods plus the consideration of the horse and how he thinks, apply to the modern horse regardless of the use to which he is put. Anyone who has ever heard Sheila do any of her talks, know what a treat this is. She is absolutely hilarious and yet imparts the ideas and ways of the old Vaqueros with great sincerity and serious conviction. The Vaquero Show is held at the Santa Ynez Historical Museum, Sagunto and Faraday, across from the Chevron Station in Santa Ynez.
Events begin on Friday Night with a BBQ and early preview privileges.
The show opens Saturday and Sunday at 9a.m. and a 2 day ticket is available. BreyerFest is to model horse enthusiasts what Scottsdale or the Nationals are to those involved with Arabian horses. It includes model horse shows, seminars and workshops, as well as huge swap meets and even auctions. People from all over the US, Canada and abroad make the yearly trip to Lexington for this event. Customized models frequently sell for several hundred dollars, with some going for thousands of dollars.
