Horse Shaped Urns

Styles of Horse Shaped Urns

Our horse shaped urns come in three main styles, each capturing a different aspect of your horse's character. Horse busts are portrait-style keepsakes that showcase a sculpted head and neck, typically finished in rich metallic, bronze, or black tones. Busts work especially well for honoring a horse with distinctive coat coloring or striking features. Horse figurines depict full-body poses — galloping freely, standing alert, grazing peacefully, or elegantly rearing — with lifelike detail and full-color finishes. These three-dimensional sculptures are mounted on wooden bases that serve as both the display platform and the ash chamber. Keepsake sculptures offer a more artistic interpretation, blending realism with expressive form to create one-of-a-kind memorial pieces.

Materials and Construction

Cast resin and polystone are the primary materials used in horse shaped urns, offering lifelike detail with hand-painted finishes that capture coat colors, mane texture, and muscular definition. These materials are lightweight yet durable, with some models available in weather-resistant finishes for sheltered outdoor display. Metal busts are finished in bronze, brass, or black patina for a timeless, sculptural quality. Wood bases in oak, walnut, or mahogany provide a warm, natural foundation for figurine-style horse shaped urns and can be engraved with names, dates, and inscriptions.

Keepsake Sizing for Horse Shaped Urns

Horse shaped urns are keepsake-sized, designed to hold a meaningful portion of your horse's ashes rather than the full amount. Most figurine and bust urns on this page hold 10 to 50 cubic inches of cremated remains. This allows you to display a portion at home, in a barn, or in a tack room while scattering, burying, or storing the remainder elsewhere. If you need a full-capacity urn for your horse's complete remains, If you need a full-capacity urn for your horse's complete remains, our full-size horse urns page offers large equine cremation urns in 500 to 1,200+ cubic inch capacities.

Personalizing a Horse Shaped Urn

Brass nameplates are also available as a removable personalization option. For engraving ideas and inscription wording, see our article on what to engrave on a pet urn.

Displaying a Horse Shaped Urn
