☀️ Outdoor Care Recommendations
To ensure the longevity and vibrant finish of your life-size fibreglass horse statue, we recommend applying a transparent gloss UV-resistant varnish before placing the model outdoors. This protective coating helps guard against sun damage, fading, and weathering.
For best results, we advise bringing the statue indoors during winter months, where possible. This precaution helps preserve the paintwork and structural integrity during harsh weather conditions.

HORSE GALLERY
🎬 Charlie the Horse on BBC’s Dragons’ Den
In December 2007, our best-selling lightweight hunter horse model made a memorable appearance on the hit BBC TV show, Dragons’ Den—a platform where aspiring entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to five of the UK’s top venture capitalists.
Accompanied by a spirited entrepreneur named Aline, “Charlie the Horse” stood proudly at 16.2 hands high, captivating the Dragons with his realistic fibreglass form and majestic presence. Aline was seeking investment to launch a revolutionary limpet pad designed to fit under the saddle—an innovation she believed would take the equine world by storm.
While the Dragons admired Charlie’s craftsmanship and commanding presence, they weren’t quite sold on the pad concept. And so, Aline rode out of the Den… and into the sunset… without a deal—but with a very handsome horse by her side.
THE TWO PRINCES by Meredydd Barker and directed by Phillip Breen
Our life-size fibreglass horse model took centre stage in a production by Clwyd Theatr Cymru, a renowned professional theatre company based in North Wales. The play, The Two Princes, written by Meredydd Barker and directed by Phillip Breen, explored themes of identity and artistic ambition through a compelling narrative centered around a public arts grant.
On the instructions of the set designer, one of the theatre’s experienced prop makers modified the horse’s head and neck position to suit the dramatic vision. In addition, a sculpture of a boy—identical to the lead actor—was created to complete the final scene’s symbolic centrepiece: a sculpture of a horse and boy, representing the heart of the story.
Thanks to the rapid delivery of our fibreglass horse model, the props team was able to execute the necessary alterations swiftly, allowing them to focus on sculpting the boy and bringing the production’s artistic concept to life.
THE RECRUITING OFFICER by George Farquhar
🎭 William III Rides Again – Abbey Theatre’s Creative Twist
William III was having a bad day—he didn’t have a horse to charge at his enemies. Fortunately, we were able to provide a noble steed to save the day.
In 2007, The Abbey Theatre in Dublin, Ireland wrapped up a successful season with The Recruiting Officer by George Farquhar, directed by Lynne Parker. This classic comedy of romance, intrigue, and military mischief—first performed over 300 years ago—featured a memorable moment involving William III on horseback. Or rather, a statue of William III on horseback.
The props team needed an equestrian statue but couldn’t source one that fit the bill. So they got creative: using one of our life-size fibreglass horse models, they constructed a custom figure of William III. A mannequin was reassembled, dressed in period costume, and paired with a felt saddle and bridle. The entire ensemble was then fibreglassed and painted to resemble stone, creating a striking centrepiece for the final scene.
“The Horse Statue looks great when the villagers finally get him up onto the plinth in the end.” — Eimer Murphy, Abbey Theatre Property Master
