From the Ultimate in Elegance - to the Totally Tacky - A Few Thousand Equine Designs
Here's your portal to thousands of equine designs on a range of products - T-shirts and Polo Shirts to Teddy Bears and Tote Bags - Framed Art to Coffee Mugs to Wall Clocks, with plenty of items in between.
You can even give a gift featuring a design of your own creation! Just go to the bottom of this page to explore this idea further.
The designs range from attractive photographs and works of equine art to cartoons, clever quotes, logos, and attention-getting statements. You'll find everything from designs of true beauty and elegance to the downright tacky and tasteless.
Yes we do on occasion like to give someone a rather tacky gift don't we?
To give you a hint of the various products available see the illustrations of several of the items found in our own GIFT SHOP (which I hope you'll visit if you haven't already done so). Our product line features the stylized silhouette of a Norwegian Fjord Horse - the same silhouette found in steel sculpture on our ranch house shown at the top of the page.
These products are provided by CafePress, whose business is to provide on demand a product featuring the design of your choosing. They usually ship within 24 hours, and their products are of excellent quality (cheerful exchange or refund if you ever do have a problem).
We've ordering several of our "own" products as a quality check and have always been pleased with the results.
Now depending upon what you're after (a horse lover's gift I presume) and how much time you have to spend, you can do one (or more) of several things on here.
Clicking on the above banner takes you to the main CafePress shopping page where you'll see the huge scope of available designs - dogs, cats, horses, politics, art, jazz - you name it. Not a bad place to start if you have others than horse lovers to shop for. Not the best place to start if you're looking for equine themes only although you can always use their search engine to zero in on what you want.
Since you more than likely are looking for something with equestrian theme, simply Click Here. You'll have several thousand designs to choose amongst (would you believe 23,000?). OK if it's a rainy day and you've nothing much else to do. Still, staring at a computer monitor gets to the eyes after a bit. But you'll get a sense of the huge variety available at this "horse" portal.
I wish I could offer a dozen or so of the "best" designs to make life easier for you but not knowing exactly what you're after I've done the next best thing:
Clicking on a breed, discipline, or other topic of interest will give you a selection of deigns related to that topic. In general the number of choices will be quite manageable though for several topics you may have a large number of choices to contend with.

And, in case I've missed something or there is a special topic you'd like to visit, just type it in this Search Box and you'll be able to view designs matchiing your choice.
A note of caution:
Sometimes it helps to be a bit specific. For example, if you type in arabian, besides horses you will also see many designs featuring the arab culture. So type in arabian horse instead. The same would apply to racing, driving, etc..
Give A Gift Featuring a Design of Your Own Creation
If you want to give a "designed-it-myself" gift you can open your own shop at CafePress, submit your own images, and order from your own shop. It's free and if you want to sell to others you might consider the "premium" shop which isn't free but is quite inexpensive. This isn't difficult to do if you have image processing and/or logo creation software on your home computer. If this is something you'd like to pursue just click on the banner below for the details.
No obligation of course - just information you'd need to get started.

P.S. Don't want to stray too far off the subject but as long as we're looking at do-it-yourself ideas, our Cool Ideas page has a few. For example, consider our design for an inexpensive Round Pen. You can always modify our design and make your very own creation. Nice gift for a day's effort.)
