Nose out, ears back, jockey flat to the mane. If you have ever yelled at a horse who cannot hear you, this is one of those racehorse gifts that gets it.

Save for later ♡

There is nothing quite like the last hundred metres. The crowd is up, the caller is losing his voice and two noses hit the line together. Then everybody waits.

This mug freezes that moment, the one just before the judge’s call.

Racehorse Gifts With Old-School Style

The design nods to 1930s racing posters. A dark brown thoroughbred is at full stretch in profile, all four feet off the ground, with a jockey in mustard and red silks crouched low over the neck. Navy speed lines streak out behind them.

“PHOTO FINISH” is set below in tall art deco capitals with a neat underline. It looks like it belongs framed in a members’ bar.

For People Who Get Up Before the Horses

Racing runs on early mornings. Trackwork riders in the dark, strappers with frozen fingers, trainers with a stopwatch and a strong opinion. And owners, bless them, who own one hair of the tail and talk about “my horse”.

Whichever one you are buying for, they will recognise the feeling in this design.

The rest of our horse mugs are a little slower: a pony, a brumby, a dressage gent and a horse who prefers a deck chair.

Back this one and Mug Face will print it and post it anywhere in Australia.

Delivery and care

Do you deliver across Australia?

Yes, to every state and territory by Australia Post, and shipping is free when you order 2 or more items. We only ship within Australia.

How is the design printed, and will it last?

Every mug is hand-printed in Australia using sublimation printing on an 11oz ceramic mug. We like to be upfront: like every sublimation print, the colours will gradually soften with use and washing. It is made for everyday drinking, and a favourite mug that has worn in a little is part of its charm.

How do I look after it?

The sublimation print is dishwasher safe, so you can load it up with the rest of the kitchen. To keep the colours looking fresh for longer, a hand wash with a soft sponge is kinder than a scourer.
