Meet Bonnie the Percheron!

Those of you who have been around from the beginning will recall Stone's early focus on draft horses! Indeed, two of the very first sculptures to be released were the iconic Standing Drafter and the Trotting Drafter, both of whom were immediately put to work immortalizing some of the Draft world's most special individuals.

For our 30th anniversary, we're heading back to our Drafty Roots! If you've had the chance to take a scenic buggy ride around Shipshewana, there's a decent chance you may have already met our guest horse, Bonnie! She's a stunning dappled steel grey Percheron mare who lives here in Shipshewana and makes her living trotting visitors about town in a variety of seasonally decorated carriages. She thinks she's the most photographed horse in Shipshewana, and we are inclined to agree.

Carly Kudalis will be Bonnie's friend and handler for the day, as our Amish neighbors don't work on Sundays! As her owner put it, Bonnie is still allowed to come get treats and pets on her day of rest, it'll be a vacation for her and she's earned it. 

We will be portraiting Bonnie in a very cool way that blends New and Vintage, and we're not quite ready to unveil her model, but she will truly be a release you won't want to miss!

Shopping Details:

FRIDAY 5.22

One trip through the store per person with a wristband, shopping limit of one OOAK and one Run per person.

Second Chance Corral models count as an OOAK even if they were originally sold as a run.

Once all wristband groups have shopped, we will open for anyone with no wristband and for wristband folks to go through a second time, and all Friday shopping hours have the one OOAK and one Run purchase limit in place.

We plan to have all inventory available on Friday with nothing held back for Saturday, however, we will likely be restocking Run and OOAK inventory as shopping on Friday progresses, so there may be ‘new’ OOAKs put out throughout the evening. 

SATURDAY 5.23

The Stone Store will be open all day with no wristbands needed and no purchase limits.

SUNDAY 5.24

We will have even more blank sculptures available than we did in 2025, at even further reduced pricing! We need our model storage space back, help us clear these out! They range from second/third quality blanks (rough seams, no manes or tails, misalignment issues, etc) to partially prepped models with manes and tails applied, to beautifully customized models with a spot of plastic contamination, and everything in between! Our standards for models in our processes are sky high, so we flunk models out often for things that could be fixed simply with apoxie or other materials we don't use, so our strict processes are your gain! There are no purchase limits on the blank sale, and these are only available in person.
