Salvino has just been released as one of the newest additions to the extensive Breyer model horse line. At the request of his owner Betsy Juliano, longtime supporter of The Dressage Foundation (TDF), Breyer Horses has announced that $1 of every purchase of the just-released Salvino model will benefit TDF.
Salvino had a remarkable competitive career under the skilled guidance of rider Adrienne Lyle. Together they achieved significant success, including winning the Team Silver medal at the 2020 Summer Olympic Games. Salvino’s legacy will now be perpetuated through his Breyer model, ensuring that his achievements and impact on the equestrian world are celebrated for generations to come.

“I support TDF because its programs provide opportunities for amateurs like me as well as professionals, including Adrienne,” Juliano said. “During his performance career, Salvino surpassed all of our expectations. TDF helps riders surpass theirs.”
TDF President and CEO Beth Baumert shared, “Betsy and Adrienne wrote the book on horsemanship and sportsmanship at its highest level. For that reason, Salvino was always a different kind of model: a role model. Breyer chose well when they picked Salvino.
“The Dressage Foundation thanks Betsy for the honor of being a part of this celebration of Salvino!”
Two-fold gift
“Betsy has given an incredible two-fold gift to TDF through this beautiful Breyer model of Salvino,” said Jenny Johnson, TDF’s executive director. “We are honored that she suggested a donation be made to our organization for each Salvino Breyer that is sold. Even beyond the financial support, the sales of this model will increase TDF’s visibility, introducing more equestrians and Breyer Horse fans to TDF and our mission.”
Breyer is the premiere brand of horse models and collectibles, with a commitment to authenticity, quality and realism that began in 1950. To purchase a Salvino Breyer Horse, please visit your favorite local retailer or go to www.BreyerHorses.com. The model will be available through retailers in late July.
