-
I am still working out the kinks of an online artisan shop, so in the meantime the best way to purchase is by contacting me directly.
Each available stable has a contact me link. Once you contact me, I will send you an invoice, and then work out the details to get your dream stable delivered to their new home.

No, they do not. I have a limited number of Bandito molds that I paint and offer for sale alongside my dream barns. Bandito was carefully sculpted with a unique style to fit the charm of my stable designs. However, I do not offer made-to-order custom model horses at this time.

Custom model horse design is not something I offer at this time. However, I am happy to incorporate your horse into the design of the stable. I can include a framed portrait of your horse in the stable, their name on the stall door, their favorite treats, etc.

At this time I do not have any official artist recommendations, but feel free to reach out and ask! I am happy to point you in the right direction on your search to find a model horse artist that can create your dream horse.

If my Bandito molds aren’t the right fit for you, there are many options for custom and off-the-shelf model horses that look adorable tucked away in their stall or hanging out in the cross ties.
As long as the model’s body fits into a 5”X5” area, and the tip of the horse’s nose to the end of its tail measures about 6” or less, you should be fine.
My stable is built to be roughly 1:24 scale. Off-the-shelf brands like Schleich or Collecta should work, but if you are looking of something higher quality to adorn your stables, there are plenty of custom model horse artists that can create something for you. Or you can browse sites like eBay or Model Horse Collection for beautiful models.

For anything in my shop, once I send you an invoice, you have 48 hours to complete payment. If you miss that deadline, please reach out to inquire regarding availability and to receive a new invoice. Products will only be shipped once the invoice is paid.
For custom stables, payment in full is required for new customers up front. If you are a repeat customer, a deposit to cover the cost of materials is required to begin, and the rest is due once the stable is complete and ready to ship.

I spend countless hours on each stable, carefully piecing together every detail. I try not to think about how it all breaks down and what my hourly rage really is lol.
But if you are wondering how long it takes from ordering a custom stable to completion, it depends. The more complicated the request, the more time I will need to perfect the design.
On average, it takes 3-4 weeks to create a stable and 1-2 weeks to paint a horse. However, it has taken up to 3 months for some projects to reach completion. The time frame for your specific request is something we will discuss before any agreements are made or invoices are sent out.

All sales are final. No returns, no exchanges, no refunds. If the product is damaged in transit, I will provide a shipping label and ask you to ship the product back to me free of charge. I will make any necessary repairs, and then return it to you.
