Imagine bringing the horse of your dreams to life, perfectly sculpted and painted to your exact vision. With Peter Stone Horses’ Design-A-Horse (DAH) program, this dream becomes a reality. This unique opportunity allows enthusiasts and collectors to customize their very own model horses, ensuring a truly personal and special addition to any collection.
How the Design-A-Horse Program Works
Creating your custom Peter Stone Horse is a straightforward and exciting process, broken down into simple steps:
-
Body Selection: On the first business day of each month, Peter Stone Horses releases a selection of available DAH horse bodies in their online Stone Store under the “New Releases” section on www.stonehorses.com. This is your starting point – choose the mold that captures your imagination.
-
Purchase Your Base Model: Purchase the unpainted horse body at its base price directly from the Stone Store. At this stage, you don’t need to specify colors or patterns; you are simply securing your blank canvas.
-
Design Consultation: After your purchase, the Peter Stone Horses customer service team will contact you via email ([email protected]). This is where the magic begins! Their dedicated concierge service will guide you through the available customization options, helping you select the perfect colors, patterns, and finishes for your model.
-
Finalize and Invoice: Once your design is finalized, Peter Stone Horses will send you an invoice for any additional costs beyond the base price, reflecting your chosen customizations.
-
Production of Your Custom Horse: Your unique Peter Stone Horse will then be expertly produced according to your specifications. Enjoy a streamlined process without the pressure of rapid online builders or constant page refreshing.
-
Utilize the Online Builder for Inspiration: The Peter Stone Horses website features a builder and price lists that remain active for you to explore color combinations, visualize your design, and estimate costs. While purchases are not made through the builder, it’s an invaluable tool for planning your dream horse. Simply select a model and follow the steps to experiment with different looks. Note that models may appear “out of stock” in the builder as it is intended for design exploration only.
-
Drawing-to-Purchase for Popular Models: For highly sought-after horse bodies, Peter Stone Horses may offer a drawing-to-purchase system in some months. This provides a fairer opportunity for everyone to acquire these popular models. Information and links to these drawings will be available on their website when applicable.
For example, the February Design-A-Horse event took place on February 3rd, following the outlined plan. Available models included the Stone Irish Cob, Heavy Draft Mare, Running QH, Palouse, Arabian Yearling, and Pebbles Arabian Mare. Color options for January to March included regular colors like Black, White, Buckskin, Chestnut, Bay, and Palomino, alongside new exciting options such as Dark Dun, Xemochromic, Blue Roan, Dominant White, and Chestnut Rabicano.

Important Considerations for Your Design-A-Horse Order
Shipping Note: Please be aware that if you order “Ready to Ship” merchandise along with your Design-A-Horse model, the “Ready to Ship” items will be held and shipped together with your custom horse when the entire order is complete. If you require immediate shipment of your “Ready to Ship” items, please place a separate order for those items.
Order Adjustments: Kindly note that Peter Stone Horses is unable to accommodate changes to your DAH order after 10 days from the purchase date. If any adjustments are needed, please communicate them within this timeframe to ensure your model is produced exactly as desired.
Color Representation: Peter Stone Horses strives to provide accurate representations of horse colors in their illustrations. However, please remember that these are approximations. As each Peter Stone Horse is hand-painted by skilled artisans, slight variations in color are to be expected. Even when ordering the same color as in previous DAH offerings, minor differences may occur due to individual artist techniques, material variations, and finish changes over time.
Potential Delays: While Peter Stone Horses is committed to delivering your custom model horses within the estimated timeframe, unforeseen delays may occasionally arise due to factors such as material procurement or unexpected challenges. They are dedicated to keeping customers informed and will make every effort to ensure your horses arrive as promptly as possible. Your understanding and patience are greatly appreciated.
