Peruvian Highland wool is my favorite yarn for these soft, squishy ponies. The yarn arrives in a natural shade, ready for me to hand dye each individual skein to match every horse. Once dyed, the skeins are wound into balls to prepare for crocheting. Each wool pony is stuffed with natural fibers — I strive to keep these ponies as environmentally friendly as possible and maintain a high quality level in all materials.

Each pony goes through several phases; from drafting ideas based on your submitted photos, to crocheting the horse, then to hand felting every dapple, face marking, or paint spot, and finally to your door. My process can take anywhere from six to eight hours for each pony — they’re designed and made with love all the way through.

My goal is to create more than a stuffed horse; I want to make art of your beloved horses for you to cherish for many years to come.

So, what all can be customized on your Plush Pony?

Just about anything! There are a few limitations because of the size of the canvas, but in general customizations can include:

• Any coat pattern, including any pinto or Appaloosa patterns, dapples on grays, roans, dun/dorsal stripes, brindle, somatic mutations

• Face and leg markings

• Birdcatcher/ink spots

• Brands, including BLM and Standardbred brands

• Major scars

After ordering your pony, I ask that you submit clear, full body photos of your horse from the following angles to caitboblittmedia@gmail.com:

• Front

• Left side

• Right side

• Behind

If your horse has any specific markings that you would like to make sure are captured in your Plush Pony, feel free to include additional photos. There can never be too many references!
