Animal commission

Horses, and every other animal.

Not everything with a face is a dog. Horses, ponies, rabbits, parrots, reptiles, livestock with names — we have painted all of them.

£176£220— smallest canvas with code WELCOME20. Up to £549 for the largest, plus £59 per extra subject.

A chestnut horse hand-painted in oil on stretched canvas from a photograph

Horses are the ones people worry about, and rightly — the head is long, the proportions are unforgiving, and a portrait that is slightly off reads as wrong immediately even to someone who knows nothing about horses. We paint them from a three-quarter view wherever possible, and we will ask for a second photograph from a different angle so the painter can build the head properly rather than guess at it.

Rosettes, tack, yard colours, a particular field, the show ring — say what matters and it goes in. If the only decent photograph you have is from a competition day with a hundred people in the background, that is fine; the background is the easiest thing in the picture to replace.

What to send us

  • Two photographs if you can: one head-on or three-quarter, one from the side.
  • Overcast daylight beats bright sun — hard shadows hide the shape of the head.
  • Tell us the markings that matter. A blaze or a sock in the wrong place is the one thing owners always spot.
