Let Me Introduce You...

Elaine Stone

Peter Stone

There's someone you need to meet before we go any further!!  Let me introduce you to Peter Stone and his lovely wife and partner Elaine Stone! 



The Peter Stone Company was founded in 1996 and is located in the beautiful Indiana countryside village of Shipshewana, Indiana.

Stone Horses are finely finished and most are hand painted at this site. Artists travel great distances to work in this bucolic setting where oftentimes the lights in the painting studio burn into the wee hours. Fellowship among the artists and Stones are highlights as meals are shared, experimentation in technique apparent, and the whirls of horse color real and surreal typify each new creation.

"I always wanted it to be like this," says Peter Stone, President and founder along, with his wife Elaine, of their mutual effort.

Not only is Stone Horses the “Left Bank” of the model horse world, but also a place where live horses roam for riding pleasure and artistic study.

Peter comes by his connection to model horses in a most explicit way: His father, Sam Stone, was the founder of the first model horse company in 1950...Breyer. And for Peter who was ten at the time, model horses were the “stuff” of which dinner table talk was made.

Peter wanted to take his dad's dream back to it's beginnings...  He wanted to create the models by hand, and in the United States.  Stone horses are never mass produced, each piece if finely hand crafted. 

The Stone Horse legacy continues...
