Breyer Traditional Buckeye

Traditional Series (1:9 scale) model horse.  Measures approx. 12" long, 9" tall.

When you think of a mule, does an image of a stubborn pack animal come to mind?  Well, Buckeye is here to show the world otherwise!  A flashy 2008 leopard Appaloosa John mule owned by Christina Gregory, Buckeye is making a name for himself in the dressage arena. 

Buckeye is trained and shown by Sammi Majors, who shars, "The wonderful thing about dressage is that any breed can do it."  When it comes to training mules, Sammi points out that not much differes except that mules don't care for repetitive exercises, and they retain their training well.

The pair also does a lot of cross training, including over fence classes at mule shows.  Currently competing at 2nd Level, one of their proudest achievements was scoring an impressive 70.3% in their 1st Level freestyle at the 2017 National Dressage Show in Tyron under an "O" rated judge.

While their appearance may differ from that of their typical dressage competition, Sammi and Buckeye are happy to share the mule love and add some fantastic floppy ears to the show ring.
