Why Stable Labels?
Despite having been in my current rented stables for 10 years, I had yet to find a stable plaque that I really liked, so my stable doors remained bare. Last year I decided that if I couldn't buy the plaques I wanted, I'd just have to make them myself.
Once I'd made my plaques, not wanting to waste the equipment I'd invested in, I starting thinking about other items I wanted that I couldn't find, and began to make those too.
I really loved the process of making them, loved having them, and found them very useful. I wanted other people to use them and love them too. And so Stable Labels began.
I'm not aiming to be a billionaire from this business, I'm happy enough just to cover my costs. What I do want is to give people fun, pretty, but ultimately useful products.
I've been involved with horses for a few decades now, in various different roles. I've had horses on part livery, working livery and DIY livery. I've had horses on small 4-horse private yards, riding schools, and on big 60+ horse livery yards. I've been a sharer, an owner and a loaner. For the last couple of years, I've even been working with horses.
I've experienced equestrian life through many perspectives, and think that's given me a good insight into some products that may help make everyone's life a little bit easier. Or at least shinier.
BioThane
BioThane is a coated webbing that can be used in a similar way to leather. It is durable, waterproof, easy-to-clean and comes in many colours.
Custom Items and colours
I have listed only a handful of products here, with a handful of colours, but I have also been busy making various other items from BioThane/vinyl for my own ponies. If you want a custom item, or any custom colours, I am very happy to discuss making this for you. Please send an email to stablelabelsuk@gmail.com.
