Liquorice FAQs
What is a Fell pony?
The Fell pony is a hardy native breed from Cumbria in north-west England. Fell ponies are mostly black, strong, and sure-footed, which inspired Liquorice's classic all-black look.
What does the word "fell" mean?
"Fell" is an old word, from Norse, for the hills and high moorland of northern England. Fell ponies are named after these hills, where herds have roamed for centuries.
Why are Liquorice's face markings black instead of white?
Fell ponies traditionally have very little white on them, so Liquorice's face markings are made in black faux leather instead. This keeps her classic all-black look while adding a special detail that shines in the light.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product & Materials
What's included in the box?
Each hobby horse comes exactly as shown in its product photos. If the halter, bridle, or reins are visible in the images, they are included with that specific horse. If a design's photos show the horse without a halter, that accessory is not included — please check the product gallery carefully before ordering.
Are your hobby horses handmade?
Yes. Each horse is hand-stitched, with the wooden stick hand-shaped and hand-painted by our skilled artisans. Small natural variations in stitching, mane, or markings are part of what makes every horse one of a kind.
What size is the hobby horse?
Our hobby horse head measures 35 cm in length and 30 cm in height, with a 40 cm wooden stick, and weighs approximately 800g — perfectly sized for both younger children and teens who enjoy hobby horsing.
What materials are used, and are they safe?
We use soft, child-safe plush fabric, a smooth wooden stick, and high-quality synthetic mane fibres. All materials are safety tested and meet international toy safety standards.
Do you offer different horse breeds or colours?
Yes, our collection includes designs inspired by real horse breeds — including Percheron, Haflinger, Shetland Pony, Welsh Pony, Connemara, and more — with new designs added regularly.

Our hobby horses are designed for children aged 3 and up, and are also widely enjoyed by older kids and teens involved in hobby horsing as a sport.
Can I order a custom hobby horse?

How do I clean my hobby horse?
