Handmade with Love

Smokey FAQs
What is a Connemara pony?
The Connemara is Ireland's only native horse breed, known for its kind nature, strength, and natural jumping talent. Grey is the most common colour for Connemaras, which is why Smokey's soft grey coat was inspired by them.
Why does Smokey have dark shading around his eyes?
Real grey horses have dark skin underneath their pale coat, which often shows around the eyes and muzzle. Smokey's smoky eye shading copies this natural detail for a realistic and gentle look.
What is a white blaze on a horse?
A blaze is a wide white marking that runs down the front of a horse's face, often reaching the nose. Smokey's white blaze stands out beautifully against his light grey coat.
