Kissimmee, Florida- When you think of a celebrity, you rarely think of a horse, but at Arabian Nights one of the four-footed stars is more than a staff favorite. Confederate Gold, more commonly known by his nickname Confetti, is not only one of the most recognizable horses in the Arabian Nights show with his beautiful golden coloring, but he is also receiving special attention from horse fans outside Orlando.
Confetti has recently been chosen by Breyer Animal Creations®, a division of Reeves International Inc., to be transformed into a collectible portrait model to commemorate the 2011 Breyer Sunshine Celebration in Florida. Representatives from Breyer chose sunny Florida as the location for their April Breyer collector event, and have an exclusive itinerary featuring a private cocktail reception at Arabian Nights on April 2, 2011. During the planning of this event, staff members from Breyer indicated their interest in choosing an Arabian Nights horse to become a Special Run model for the event. Confetti was the obvious choice with his good looks and great personality, as well as his status as the “poster horse” for Arabian Nights. Confetti is featured on most of Arabian Nights’ promotional materials as the prince’s horse.
Breyer collectors who attend the 2011 Breyer Sunshine Celebration will enjoy a special meet and greet with Confetti during their exclusive cocktail reception prior to watching him strut his stuff in the Arabian Nights show.

Confetti is trained in Haute Ecole, or high school, Dressage, where he performs advanced maneuvers like the high-stepping Spanish Walk and stylish Passage. Confetti is also trained to perform at liberty, with no physical connection to his handler, as well as being trained to perform tricks like rearing or bowing on cue. His many talents make Confetti a stand out in the Arabian Nights show, and have gained him more notoriety than his recent attention by Breyer.
Confetti has been featured in many equestrian publications, including the Equine Journal and Blaze Magazine for Kids, as well as appearing in national and international features about Arabian Nights in travel and tourism publications.
In addition to his new status with Breyer collectors, Confetti will also be a featured performer at the Gene Mische American Invitational show jumping event at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on April 9, 2011. Confetti and his rider Zach Becker will be performing as the half-time entertainment at this prestigious event. For more information about this event visit: www.stadiumjumping.com.
