Before you buy, and after
A horse topiary is a full-bodied horse on welded, galvanized steel, finished in moss or outdoor foliage: grazing, standing or rearing. Everyone knows how a horse is proportioned, so it is one of the hardest animals to get right. It is also one of the pieces we are most often asked to build, for paddocks, entrances and equestrian venues.

Small pieces ship by UPS Ground. Large pieces travel by freight, and the delivery is quoted with the piece, so you see the full cost before anything is charged.
Pieces marked ready to ship leave within a few working days. Pieces built to order take 4 to 10 weeks, plus the delivery. Have a date? Send it with your request and we confirm it before you order.
A price on a card is what the piece costs. Custom and large pieces are quoted with delivery, usually within hours. Every custom piece is made for one client, so the schedule, deposit and any changes are agreed with you when you approve the quote.
A rearing horse needs a base heavy enough, or fixed firmly enough, to hold it up. The whole body sits on the two hind legs, several feet in the air, and that load has to travel down through the legs into the base. A grazing horse spreads its weight over four legs and is simple.
So we engineer a rearing piece before we shape it, and the base specification is part of the quote.
Horse frames and finished pieces are in wire frame topiary and mossed animal topiary.
A mossed horse needs misting through dry spells and new moss every year or so. A bare frame needs nothing until you plant it. Turf and artificial pieces need an occasional rinse and nothing more.
The steel underneath decides how long the horse lasts, and galvanized steel lasts for decades outdoors.
The care pages go through each material in full, and this eight-year-old swan shows what a restoration looks like.

A horse is hard to get right, so every large one is drawn before it is built. These concept renderings show three pieces we make to order on welded, galvanized steel.
A full-size horse with its head down to graze, in sphagnum moss over welded steel. Four legs share the weight, so it is the simplest large pose to install, and it travels in sections. Send a photo of the horse you want copied and a photo of the spot.
A bare galvanized mare with a foal at her side, left open for vines to climb or for moss to be packed in later. Powder coat in a color is an optional upgrade. Tell us the heights you want and whether they stand on lawn or paving.
A horse up on its hind legs, finished in sphagnum moss. The whole weight sits on two legs, so we engineer the frame and the base before shaping it, and the base is part of the quote. Send a photo of the pose and of the ground it will stand on.
Mossed animals and wire frames start as welded steel, galvanized before any moss goes on. See all six stages, start to finish →
Yes. Life-size is the scale most often requested for paddock entrances, equestrian centers and driveways, and it can be built to order.
Both. A standing or grazing horse is easy to site almost anywhere. A rearing horse needs a proper footing because of where its weight sits, and we specify it with the quote.
The horses in stock are mossed or bare galvanized frames. Artificial outdoor foliage can be made to order, and it suits full sun where nobody will look after the piece.
Yes, on a level, anchored footing rather than a spike, and away from anything that will lean on it. Livestock and topiary do not mix well.
Four to ten weeks, depending on size and finish. Delivery and installation are quoted with it where the piece needs them.
