Eco Sensitive
This is an eco-conscious product and workshop. The horses are cut from locally sourced Leitrim windfall timber. All practices, materials and procedures from design to delivery favour eco-sensitive options wherever available.

Paints & Finishes
Finishes are all non-toxic and certified for use on children's toys.
Horses and dragons shown in the Gallery are all finished in bright acrylic paints.
Also available for an additional €5.00 are some more traditional, natural, gentle colours from the 'Old Fashioned Milk Paint Co.' finished with a coat of Auro natural lacquer. Look for the blue, the red and the black Milk Paint finished horses in the gallery.

Care of your horse
To clean, wipe with a damp cloth. Do not leave outdoors. Provide plenty of imagination and exercise often!
