For ages, the horses lived in the "everything else" collection. Tucked between the giraffes, the dinosaurs and the goats. Perfectly happy there, but slightly under-served.
Then the requests kept coming. "Do you do a horse mug?" "Something for my daughter's riding instructor?"
Yes and yes — but you had to dig to find them. So we've given them their own shelf.
Leading the pack: the Funny Horse Mug
Our runaway bestseller in the range. Comical, wide-eyed, slightly ridiculous — which is fair, because anyone who's spent five minutes with a horse knows they're absurd animals underneath the elegance.
It's the mug that horse people buy for other horse people. The in-joke, printed.

Who this is for
Horse people are — and we say this with love — a very specific bunch. The horse is family. The name matters. The breed matters. The personality really matters.
So the range is built for that: for the horsey mum getting a birthday present, for the daughter who's just left Pony Club, for the riding instructor whose leaving gift needs to be right, for the retired hunt follower, for the person whose Instagram is 80% muddy fetlocks.
Buy one for someone. Or, honestly, buy one for yourself. We won't tell.
Coming next: bespoke horse portraits
The Pawtrait Mug launched this weekend for dogs — upload a photo, get a stylised illustration of your specific dog on a mug. It works because the tooling behind it is the same one that powers our Sipfull Portraits range.
Guess what's coming next.
Same premise, four legs and a mane instead of a wagging tail. Upload a photo of your horse, we redraw it, you get the mug. We're already testing. If you'd want one, reply and tell us — every range we launch starts because someone asked.
The practical bits
- Free UK shipping when you order two mugs or more. Tracked delivery from £1.99 otherwise.
- 1-year fade guarantee. If the print fades within 12 months, free replacement.
- Hand-pressed in England. Every mug, every time, in our Sussex studio.
- 10oz bone china variant available on most designs — recommended if it's a gift.
- Personalised means non-returnable. If there's a name involved, we'll send a proof to approve first.
One Last Thing
Eighteen horse designs isn't a launch, really. It's what happens when you take a request seriously twenty times in a row and one morning look up to find you've got a proper collection.
Have a browse. And if the horse you're after isn't there yet, tell us. That's how the shelf keeps filling.

P.S. — The Pawtrait Mug for dogs is live this week. The horse version isn't far behind.
