Indiana cool

When I think of Indiana...

I think of corn.
Miles and miles and miles of corn.
So much corn.
But also, I think of Stone Horses.
And I think we can all agree that Stone Horses... 
and the people who make them... 
are pretty cool.
So cool, in fact, Stone Horses is currently a quarterfinalist in the Coolest Thing Made in Indiana Contest.
Stone Horses CEO, Erin Corbett writes: Stone is the only original finish  model horse manufacturer located 100% in the USA. Every step of the process from mold design to customizing to final painting and finishing happens right here. Stone employs more than thirty five full time staff members. We are pleased to provide the very highest quality in OF Plastic...
and to be a positive force in the model horse community at large.
Our Design-A-Horse product line is particularly cool, especially as we leap into 2026 with a whole suite of patterns designed by Lesli Kathman – and you haven’t even seen them all yet! 
We kick off January Design-A-Horse with a special all-foal month, where you can get adjusted foal versions of our colors combined with our new patterns by Lesli.
We’re not sure what the prize is for winning the Coolest Thing contest, but this contest is a unique opportunity to showcase our equine art to a brand new audience, and to celebrate the model horse community to those who don’t know we exist – yet.
If you have a moment - and you know you do! - please visit the Indiana Chamber website and vote for Stone. You do not have to register or give an email address, just click four boxes. It takes less than a minute! Voting for this round close January 7 so don't wait. Do it now!
Erin may not know what the prize for the Coolest Thing Made in Indiana is, but knowing Erin, I feel like there will be some kind of celebration should Stone Horses win. 
Go forth, my friends, and vote for Stone. Make Indiana famous for something other than corn!

    2. Try it again. I think it's fixed.

      P.S. The coolest thing in Indiana is not that website!

  4. Uhhhhhhh--excuse me--but we're known for more than corn in Indiana!(though that is the slogan!)
    For you sports fans, we have the Indianapolis 500!! And since this is horse related, also a basketball team known as The Pacers and a football team known as The Colts!!
    There's other things that Indiana is well known for(but that would make this message way too long!!)
    GO ERIN!! GO STONE HORSES!! We're proud of you and will be rooting for you for the win!!
