Wooden horse V1 to paint – horse cutout, 5–40 cm

The kids' party has a riding stables theme. The stable aisle still needs a name sign. Or you're looking for a small gift for a horse lover. All that's missing is the right motif. This wooden horse is made for moments like these. It's a clear horse silhouette in 3 mm plywood, untreated and ready for your ideas. Paint it, decorate it or leave it natural. A simple cutout becomes a piece that is all yours.

What changes for you

• You can start straight away if you want to paint, decorate or write on your wooden horse. The wood is untreated and takes paint, oil and wood glaze well.
• You'll find the right size for your project, from a small hanging decoration to wall decor. The height can be chosen from 5 to 40 cm in 1 cm steps.
• Your finished piece has clean, smooth edges, with no sanding needed. That's because the cutout is laser-cut.
• You give something individual rather than mass-produced. Every wooden horse has its own grain and is one of a kind.
• You also have the right material for larger groups, for example when crafting with children. You order each size individually in the height you need.

Why this wooden horse makes a difference in everyday life

A ready-made decoration is quick to put up. But a wooden horse you've designed yourself tells your story. On a shelf in a child's room, on the stable door or as a name sign: the natural wood makes a room feel cosy. It shows that someone made it with care. And often the crafting is the best part – together at the table, with brush and paint.

Material & finish

The horse is laser-cut from 3 mm poplar plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge, which outlines the silhouette. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean. You can pick up the cutout and carry on working, without any sandpaper. The surface is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. That makes it ideal for painting, oiling or decorating. As a natural material, wood is never completely uniform. Variations in shade, fine textures and small knots are part of it. They make every piece unique and are not a defect. Every horse is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the wooden horse

• For the stable door sign: paint on the horse's name and hang it up. Every stall gets its own sign.
• When crafting with children: every child decorates their own wooden horse. At the end they take home something they made themselves.
• As a gift for horse lovers: add a name or date and the cutout becomes a keepsake. It can mark a show, a birthday or that first pony.
• In a child's room: on the wall, a shelf or a garland, the horse silhouette brings a favourite theme into the room. Calm and natural rather than bright and loud.
• For riding schools, stables or farm shops: as signage or counter decoration, the motif shows the same image across all sizes. Choose the size you need, from small to large.

Good to know about horses

The horse has long been a symbol of freedom, strength and good luck. There's a reason a horseshoe hangs over many a door for luck. So the motif suits stables and horse lovers. It also works as a small good-luck wish for a birthday, a first day at school or a new home.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do: just wipe with a dry cloth when needed. As the wood is untreated, avoid constant moisture. If you want to use the horse outdoors, for example as a stable sign, protect it with paint, wood glaze or oil. That way it will look good for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the wooden horse? Yes. The wood is untreated and can be painted, oiled, glazed or decorated. It's ideal for your own design ideas.

Why does the cutout have a brown edge? The horse is laser-cut, which creates the typical dark edge. It gives the silhouette a clear outline and is not a fault.

Does every horse look the same? The shape does, the wood doesn't quite. As a natural material, it shows variations in shade, fine textures and small knots. Every piece is one of a kind.

How wide is the horse? The width is roughly the same as the chosen height. At a height of 10 cm, the width is also 10 cm.

Is the horse suitable for outdoor use? Untreated, it belongs in sheltered areas. With an opaque coat of paint or a wood glaze, you can also use it outdoors, for example as a stable door sign.

What counts is not the wooden cutout. It's the moment the finished, painted horse hangs on the stable door or stands in a child's room. And you know: someone made this themselves. Just choose your size and get started.
