Peter Stone

About Peter Stone

Peter Stone model horses, now known as Stone Horses is an American brand of model horses started during the 1960s. They specialise in producing a limited amount of moulds in a large number of colours with a focus on individually artistry. Pieces are often produced in very limited runs, as one of a kinds or with heavy modifications from the original piece.

Stone Horses are produced in three different scales: Chips, Pebbles and Traditional. The Chips are around Stablemate scale, the Pebbles a little larger than Paddock Pal and the Traditional models around 1:9 scale.

There is a limited selection of moulds sold either as regular runs, one of a kinds, special runs, factory customs or Design a Horse. Equine artists are often invited to the Stone factory to paint models creating variation in the different colours and designs.

The Ranges

There are several different types/ranges of Stone Horses. As well as the there scales models can be purchased either in standardised colours or to the owner's exact requirements.

Regular Runs

For several years Peter Stone produced a range of regular run catalogue models. These models were made in larger or open runs on nearly all moulds. These were available direct from Stone or through dealers.

One of a Kind

One of a Kind pieces are not unusual and are regularly produced and sold by Stone Horses. These could be unique paint jobs but they are often factory customs with extreme re-working of the original mould.

Special Runs

Special runs are produced for different events or retailers. Special runs are produced in a very limited run.

In 2011 Chestnut Ridge commissioned a special run, King Arthur. He can be seen at the top of this page.

Factory Customs

Stone Horses produce a selection of standardised moulds. When these moulds are varied they are known as Factory Customs. Factory Customs can vary from a slightly different mane or tail to an extreme body custom that barely resembles the original model.

Design a Horse

The Design a Horse scheme has been run by Peter Stone for several years. This allows people to place an order for a model online choosing the colour and markings. The moulds available vary from time to time as do the patterns and markings. Although most models are unique it is obviously possible for duplicates to exist.

Where to Buy

Stone Horses can be purchased and ordered direct here: www.stonehorses.com/

They can also be purchased second hand from other hobbyists. They are frequently for sale on specialist model horse selling sites such as Moel Horse Sales Pages and Facebook Groups. They can also be found on generalised sale sites such as eBay.
