Equilocity: Art of the Horse • Lexington, KY
July 9-12, 2026
At Stone Horses, we deeply appreciate your time. To prevent long waits in line, be good stewards of attendee safety, and ensure no one misses out, we are again implementing a wristband entry system for shopping the opening night of the Stone Store on Thursday, July 9th from 5:00-11:00 PM! These wristbands are for Thursday/Opening Night Shopping Only.
On Thursday, each person can purchase one run and one OOAK. You can grab up to 2 pieces in total, but you cannot pick 2 runs or 2 OOAKs. The limit is one of each to keep things fair and fun! Each shopping group will have 20 minutes to make your selections and join the check-out line. You are not able to stay in the shopping area once it's time for the next group to begin their shopping time. Each shopping group will have two volunteers with you, let one of them know that you need assistance with an upstairs purchase and they'll be glad to help.
We know this feels complex - but for the safety of all involved, we must carefully manage crowds in the Mansion via the Paddock Pavilion on our busiest shopping night. We strongly encourage checking out our Facebook group to view albums of available models before the event, so you have an idea of what you might like before the evening of shopping arrives! We will be doing a video walkthrough of Thursday night's inventory and layout on our Facebook group so you can see ahead of time exactly where to find your hopeful purchases. If you need more time to consider, you are welcome to return on Friday evening for open shopping at 5pm, where you may browse all evening until the store closes at 11pm.
Wristband distribution is scheduled for Thursday, July 10th at the Equilocity Welcome Party in the Paddock Pavilion between 3-4:45pm. The Stone Store is located in The Mansion, but we will not allow lining up outside in the heat - all waiting to shop needs to take place in the Paddock Pavilion where there is air conditioning, seating, and friends! Visit comfortably while waiting to shop - no lines in the outdoor heat!
Wristband entry times for groups 1-16 will be assigned through a random drawing, guaranteeing each customer an equal opportunity to be at the front of the line for shopping regardless of the time you are able to come for your wristband. If you arrive after wristband pickup is over or if we run out, you may return at 10:20PM for open shopping until close. If you go through at your allotted shopping time and wish to return later, you may rejoin the line to shop again at 10:20 and buy an additional 1 Run and 1 OOAK model. The shopping limit of 1 LE and 1 OOAK is in effect for all of Thursday's shopping, but you may return to the store as many times as you like after 10:20 for 2 models per transaction.
Customers will be admitted in groups of up to 25 for shopping, with each group allotted 20 minutes to select their purchases and join the check-out line.
To receive a free wristband, customers must be present; wristbands will be attached to the customer's wrist at that time. One cannot pick up wristbands for others. Furthermore, it is not permitted to trade or exchange wristbands.
If you have further questions please email service@stonehorses.com and we will be happy to guide you through a positive shopping experience at the Stone Store!
Not to worry! If you draw a wristband for our 8:00-8:20 time slot and also wish to enter to win the costume contest prize model, you will be allowed to send a designated proxy to shop on your behalf.
