Nosey Posy

A small shop for horse people.

Nosey Posy is a new apparel brand for riders and the people around them. We're drawing the first designs now; the shop opens on Etsy soon.

What we make

T-shirts, sweatshirts with small embroidered designs, and later caps and mugs. Each piece is printed or embroidered to order, so nothing sits in a warehouse and nothing is made that nobody wanted.

Two kinds of lines

Funny ones about barn life: the vet bill, the spook at a leaf, the grey horse who is brown again by lunchtime. They laugh with the rider, at her horse and her bank account, never at other riders or barns.

Quiet ones about the bond: the nicker when your car pulls in, the grooming half hour, the old horse who is staying right here. No jokes go anywhere near those.

Who Posy is

A made-up mare with her nose in everyone's pockets. She's a character, not a real horse with a sad backstory, and she'll turn up on some of the designs.

Things we won't do

No invented reviews or testimonials. No countdown timers. No photos that pretend to be something they aren't. If a design isn't ready, we say so.
