Slate Horse Nameplate
Our slate horse nameplates are hand-crafted from natural slate, giving each sign a unique character with its own subtle variations in colour and texture. Slate is extremely durable, weatherproof, and perfectly suited for outdoor use, making it an ideal choice for stable doors and yard signs. The lettering is engraved into the surface for a crisp, long-lasting finish and can be left natural or paint-filled for extra clarity. With a choice of fonts, borders, and equestrian images, your slate nameplate can be personalised to suit your horse and stable perfectly.
Stylish and practical, these slate signs not only look smart on stable doors but also make thoughtful gifts for horse owners.

Our wooden stable door name plates are available in three beautiful timbers – Oak, Sapele, and Iroko. Each has its own unique character: oak with its timeless strength, sapele with a rich mahogany-like finish, and iroko with the golden tones of teak.
Traditional and elegant, these wooden signs are a popular choice for adding character to stable doors while offering strength and long-lasting quality.

For oak and sapele, we apply three coats of tough satin varnish to protect the wood while enhancing its natural beauty. Iroko plates are usually finished with Devon Oil, which nourishes the timber and brings out its warm colour.
Engraved Brass Horse Name Signs
We use only the highest-quality engravers’ brass to create our traditional name plates. The deep engraving can be left unpainted for a classic finish or infilled in a choice of colours, including white, black, blue, green, orange, or red. Personalise your plate further with your choice of fonts, borders, and equestrian images. Brass name plates are smart, elegant, and truly timeless. The only consideration is that they do require regular polishing to maintain their beautiful shine. Brass Cleaning
