Wooden horse decoration – running horse in plywood, 5–50 cm

The birthday party invitations are written and the theme is set – all that's missing is the table decoration. A wooden horse that seems to gallop across the table with its mane flying brings exactly the liveliness you're after: made for your craft table. The galloping horse arrives as an untreated wooden cutout, and with paint, decoupage or simply left natural, it becomes your very own wooden horse decoration.

What changes for you

• You can design it however you like – the plywood is untreated, so you can paint it, stick things on it, varnish it or oil it.
• Your project gets exactly the right size, because you choose the width from 5 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps – from a little table scatter pony to a large wooden horse decoration.
• No more tedious sawing by hand: every horse is cleanly laser-cut with smooth edges – little hands love to pick them up too.
• You can kit out whole craft sessions, school classes or market stalls without having to reorder – thanks to sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces.
• You are holding a piece of honest natural material. It is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this galloping wooden horse makes a difference every day

Ready-made decorations often look the same everywhere. A wooden horse you design yourself carries your own signature. Use it as a wooden horse decoration on a gift, as a hanging decoration in a child's bedroom window or as a stand-up figure on the festive table. The horse in motion brings movement to any decoration. It tells young and grown-up horse fans a story straight away. You choose the size and design yourself. So everything matches in the end – from the place card to the large wall decoration.

Material & finish

The galloping horse is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood, which gives it the typical, slightly browned edge that nicely accentuates the silhouette. The edges are smooth and the finish is clean – so the cutout sits comfortably in your hand and takes paint evenly. Wood is a purely natural material: it varies in shade, shows different grain patterns and may have small knots. That's exactly what makes every piece unique – it isn't a flaw.

How to use the galloping wooden horse

• At the craft table with children: each child designs their own horse with paint and glitter – and you have an activity that leaves them with something lasting.
• At the riding club or stables: large cutouts as a big wooden horse decoration on the door or counter – and visitors can see at a glance what it's all about.
• As a gift tag: write a name on it and tie it to the ribbon – and even a simply wrapped present looks lovingly made.

Good to know about horses

The horse has always stood for freedom, strength and new beginnings – no wonder it gallops across countless coats of arms and good-luck traditions. That's why a wooden horse decoration isn't just for the nursery, but also suits occasions that mark a new chapter: starting school, a club anniversary or as a little lucky charm on a present.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do: keep the untreated wood dry and avoid constant moisture, and it will keep its natural look for a long time. If you paint, varnish or oil it, you give the surface extra protection and decide on the colour effect yourself.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the wooden horse or stick things on it? Yes. The plywood is untreated and can be painted, decorated, varnished or oiled – just as you like.

How tall is the horse at a particular width? As a guide: at a width of 10 cm, the height is 6.5 cm. The proportions stay the same for all sizes.

Why is the edge brownish? The horse is laser-cut – the fine brown edge is typical of this process and also ensures smooth edges.

Does every horse look exactly the same? The shape does, the wood doesn't: as a natural material, it varies in shade and shows its own grain patterns – every piece is unique.

Are there quantities for larger projects? Yes, as well as single pieces, there are sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 – for craft groups, clubs or shop displays, for example.

In the end, it's not about a wooden cutout. It's about the moment a child holds up the horse they've painted themselves and beams – or when your table, your window or your stall gets exactly the touch you had in mind. Just choose your size and quantity, and you design the rest.
