Horse Shaped Stress Balls - An in Depth Look at These Popular Promotional Gifts

Horse shaped stressballs are among the most requested farm animal shapes. These popular stress toys are often seen at tourist locations, dude ranches, and as gifts in horse related publications of which there are many. In some countries such as France, where horse meat is eaten regularly and sold at village markets, they are also big in the food industry. Restaurants specialising in the meat also give these gifts away printed with their logo and details.

Here in the UK,where we would rather ride our horses than eat them, they are more often used simply to promote a business or organisation in a fun and different way.

There are several popular horse shapes but the most popular is a standing horse which is seen on almost every stress ball website on the net. It is 150mm x 47mm x 100mm and is normally printed on the back where your logo and details are easily visible. The print area is 30mm x 25mm is ample space for most logos and contact details.

The standard colour for this horse is dark brown with a black mane. Suppliers who purchase these stress products in bulk will have these in stock. I have found, however, that many people prefer to have the horses manufactured in another lighter colour so that their logo stands out better. This is completely up to you as special colours are rarely a problem though you should expect to wait for at least 4 weeks for delivery. Like all stress balls, the horse shape can be manufactured in your company colours if you feel like being brave.

As mentioned earlier, there are several fun horse related shapes. Some are lying down while others are kicking back smiling and wearing sunglasses. There are even a few horse stressballs that are available in the popular keyring size.

There are negatives and positives to going the keyring route. Key rings have always been quite popular promotional gifts because they are very handy. Almost everyone needs a keyring for their home, car and work keys. These popular stress reliever keyrings serve that purpose but they are also fun to squeeze. Your customers will probably find that they are reaching for their keys and squishing their horse keyring often. Each time they do, they could be looking at your logo and details.

The only problem with these fun keyrings is that they have a small print area due to the size of the product. You will need to consider this when you are considering what you want to print.
