Customized horses from Picu
Taking commissions again!
Thank you for being patient because I am finally taking new commissions to the line. Please read terms of sale before ordering.
About Vapalo's hobby horses
Horses are handmade from the very beginning by an eighteen-year-old Finnish girl, Picu. I have eight years of experience sewing and over three years of experience selling hobby horses. The horses have already captivated several countries like Finland, Sweden and the United States!
Vapalo's horses are made with love and care, which makes them durable even for kids. Eyes, ears and mane are sewed, not glued, into the horse. Equipment is two-sided artificial leather made with a sewing machine which makes them look realistic and tidy. There's a link below to the page where you can see my earlier commissions since 2014 to this day. As you can see, every single horse is a unique and personalized work of art. Not even the sky is your limit when planning your dream hobby horse!
Note: Every horse is customized, unique horse and I won't make any copy of already existing hobby horses BUT I can make a hobby horse version of a real horse! If you want to have a hobby horse version of a real horse, just send me pictures added to your order form.
Sewing the horses may take some time because I attend school at the same time. The custom horses are done beside the school work. Studies are my first priority, then come hobbyhorses, so, please wait patiently for my finishing your horse. Questions about the progress won't make it any faster and I'll inform you when the custom horse is ready.

About ordering
Usually I am able to receive three commissions at the same time but if possible I can accept more commissions, I will let you know about it. If there're more than three persons who want to order, I'll raffle those who get into the line. Customers on the line will get a message from me and they can leave me their order forms. The custom horse is paid in two payments! Retainer is about 15% of the final price and it's paid before starting to make the horse. The rest 85% is paid after finishing the horse and after the last payment the horse is sent by post to you. The retainer will only be returned if the customer is unhappy with the custom horse.
The payment is paid as a bank transfer onto my bank account or using PayPal! The horse can't be paid in cash. Term of payment is one(1) week since the day the horse is finished. The horse is will be sent as soon as possible after the money transfer. Sending me a receipt of the payment will make sending the horse faster because then I don't need to wait that money arrives on my bank account first.
The custom horse is sent by post in a A4-sized envelope without a stick or fillings! Postage of the envelope is 3,00-5,00€. The horse can be sent with the fillings but with no stick as a package but the postage will cost +30-70€ depending on the place it's shipped. You can ask an estimate from me if you're interested.
Please, read terms of sale below before placing an order!
IF YOU'RE UNDERAGE, YOU NEED A PERMISSION FROM YOUR PARENTS!
