Horse Collectors
Horse love usually starts early, with one pony ride or one dog-eared library book about a wild stallion, and it never really ends. Limoges horse boxes are made for riders, show-ring regulars, Derby partygoers and grown-ups who still daydream about a barn of their own. Each one is hinged, hand-painted in France and arrives gift-boxed, ready for a birthday, a first ribbon or a first lesson. Best of all, this horse never needs its stall mucked out.
The stable here is wonderfully varied. Look for a horse standing at a fence, one grazing on grass, a pair on a small oval and a mini horse with a removable brass horseshoe. Riders may spot a dressage horse with rider, a jumper with jockey, a polo player mid-swing and an equestrian outfit complete with saddle. Carousels spin in pastel green, purple and festive Christmas styles, and rocking horses add nursery charm. There is even a horse barn and a jockey's racing cap.
Horse collections tend to grow at a gallop. Start with a horse in the coat color of a favorite mount, then add carousels for whimsy and riding gear for flair. A cluster of boxes looks right at home on a shelf above the tack trunk or beside show ribbons and photos. Carousel boxes grouped in a circle make a darling little fairground centerpiece. Tuck a snip of ribbon or a lucky charm inside, and hold your horses for the big reveal.
