Gift ideas for horse lovers: what to give, and when to order
December 20, 20253 min read
For a rider or anyone who loves horses, the site offers original paintings: a large rearing horse at 190 euros, L'Écuyer in his top hat at 120 euros, or a portrait of your own horse from 90 euros. Only custom work needs planning ahead: it takes four to six weeks to paint.
A riding crop? A painting instead
We sell no crops and no riding equipment. What Camille paints is something else: an object that stays on the wall long after the season has passed and evokes the horse without resorting to a figurine. To mark a riding exam, a small portrait such as L'Écuyer can sit alongside equipment bought elsewhere.
Three ideas, all real
A large rearing horse. The Les Cavaliers collection brings together equestrian paintings for sale. Each horse is painted in acrylic with a palette knife on an Isorel panel cut to its silhouette, sized 60 x 102 cm, at 190 euros. It is a unique piece, signed, delivered with its certificate of authenticity. You can pay in one go, or with a 30% deposit that holds the piece for three months, the balance being due before shipping.
L'Écuyer, or another Gentleman. L'Écuyer is a bay horse in a red top hat, hand painted on an oval panel of 21 x 28 cm, at 120 euros, paid in full. He belongs to Les Gentlemen, eight animal portraits in costume. If the person prefers another animal, a hedgehog, a woodpecker, a Highland cow or a ram follow the same logic: choose with them in mind.
A portrait of their own horse. Camille paints it in acrylic with a palette knife, in relief, on Isorel cut to its silhouette: 90 euros for a head, 180 euros for a full body, 290 euros for a large full-body piece. It is the only gift that shows the animal the person truly loves.
Choosing by person and by wall
Think of the wall first. A 60 x 102 cm Cavalier needs a clear stretch, whereas L'Écuyer is looked at up close and fits on a shelf, a desk or a narrow wall. Then think of the person: for someone who rides without owning a horse, L'Écuyer or a Cavalier; for someone who has their own, the custom portrait. The eight Gentlemen are almost the same size, so you can bring several together on the same wall.
Before Christmas: the custom lead time
A piece shown as available is already painted: it ships after payment. Delivery in mainland France: 12 € per order, free on any order of 300 € or more (displayed prices, VAT included). Each online order covers a single work. Any other destination: quoted on request, write to us before ordering. Custom work is different. Camille indicates four to six weeks, as a guide, depending on the thickness of the paint and drying. You send two or three sharp photos of the animal, you approve an intention before the first stroke of the knife, and you receive a progress photo halfway through. Payment is made in full when you order, and delivery comes on top.
If the portrait is meant for Christmas, write now and state the deadline in your message: Camille replies within 24 hours and tells you the next available slot. No date can be promised before her answer. If the calendar is too tight, a piece that is already painted remains the simplest solution.
