Meet Shadow – a striking slate-grey hobby horse with a long black mane, inspired by the rare grullo, also known as the blue dun or mouse dun. With his soft dark grey coat, subtle neck shading, glossy eyes, and a sleek all-black stick, Shadow is the coolest partner in the stable for leading, grooming, and every adventure.

Why You'll Love Shadow

Handmade with Love
Every Shadow is carefully handmade and hand-shaded, which means each horse is truly one of a kind. Small variations in coat shade, neck shading, and mane length are part of its handmade charm – so your horse may look slightly different from the photos, making it uniquely yours.

Shadow FAQs

What is a grullo horse?
Grullo, also called blue dun or mouse dun, is a rare horse colour with a slate-grey or mouse-grey coat and a black mane and tail. Grullos often have darker shading on the neck, just like Shadow.

Where does the name "grullo" come from?
The name comes from the Spanish word "grulla", which means crane – a bird with slate-grey feathers. In the UK, the same colour is often called blue dun or mouse dun, and it's even found in the Highland pony.

How rare are grullo horses?
Very rare! Only around 0.7% of the American Quarter Horses registered each year are grullo. That makes Shadow's colouring truly special.

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.
