Description: A sturdy
(15.3 hands) liver chestnut Thoroughbred/Irish Draught-cross
ridden by Lucinda Fredericks, Headley Brittania's career has
been one for the record books. A true champion, she
recovered from a life-threatening virus in 2005 to become
the first mare in 33 years to win three-day eventing's
four-stage Burghley Horse Trials, and the next spring,
rewrote history again when she became the first mare in 53
years to win the four-star Badminton Horse Trials. In 2008,
the same year that Brit carried Lucinda to an Olympic team
silver medal, two of her foals were born via surrogate. Brit
celebrated motherhood with another first-place finish in
Lexington's Rolex Kentucky CCI**** and is favored to find
the winning path to the medals podium again in many upcoming
competitions.
Introduced
at the 2010 Games and now available nationwide: Breyer model
portraits of Lucinda Fredericks Eventing mare, Headley
Britannia ("Brit")! Beautiful liver chestnut Brit was the
first mare in 33 years to win the 2006 Burghley Horse Trials
and the first mare in 53 years to win the 2007 Badminton
Horse Trials.
Since its start in 1990, the
World Equestrian Games has become the largest and most
prestigious horse competition, rivaling the Olympics in
importance to the equestrian world. Breyer joins the 2010
Games in celebrating the courage, athleticism and beauty of
the horse at its pinnacle of achievement and is honored to
be the Official Model Horse Maker. In these special, highly
collectible keepsake models, Breyer captures the spirit,
grace and power of the horses of the World Equestrian Games.
