Happy New Year from the Hobby Horse Toys workshop. The order books are now open again. At the end of 2007 we had to turn away a few customers as Dans order book was full. In these cases we encourage people to think about placing the order for a birthday instead. Placing orders in advance will ensure delivery in time for Christmas, ideally at least 3 months in advance.

Dan works alone on his hobby horses, he is a one many show. He loves the work that he does and he has no ambition for Hobby Horse Toys to grow any larger than it is now … small is beautiful, and enjoyable. He keeps order down to a level that leaves time for him to enjoy each and every creation, to take pride in his work. He never wants his Hobby Horses to become a production line item, or a chore to complete. This is part of the attraction of a Hobby Horse gift. If you think you may wish to order a gift for Christmas please email Dan at dan@hobbyhorsetoys.com with an ‘expression of interest’, there is no obligation whatsoever to go ahead with an order, but it will help Dan to plan the year ahead in terms of when to close his order books. You would need to get back in touch to place a firm order two months in advance for the majority of the year, or 3 months for Christmas order. If you haven’t placed an order, still do get in touch, just in case we have one or two in stock.

Dan now works direct with customers and has decided not to sell via shops anymore. He will continue to supply two prestigious outlets who have been extremely supportive … The Leitrim Design House, and the Shaker Shop. To view hobby horses go to the Hobby Horse Toys website at www.hobbyhorsetoys.com

Here is the latest personalised horse sent out over the Christmas period.
