For the hound at your feet & the horse in your heart.

The Hound & Horse is a small American house for the goods of Ireland and the Isles: throws from working mills, hand-stitched leather, and coins struck in 1928.

WHAT WE'RE GATHERING

A few good makers. A few good things from each.

Wool throws from a working Welsh mill. Knitwear spun in Co. Mayo, down to a proper Aran for the dog. Hand-stitched saddlery leather, caps woven in Killarney, candles poured on a Cornish farm, and a small line of coin jewelry you won't find anywhere else. Every piece names its maker, and if it says Irish, it came from Ireland. That rule doesn't bend.

THE COIN CONNECTION

Ireland's first coinage, 1928.

When Ireland struck its own money, it chose its animals over its politicians: a wolfhound on the sixpence, a hunter on the half crown, a salmon on the florin. We set the originals by hand, bezel mounted and removable, never cut and never drilled. The hunter comes in silver, the wolfhound in nickel, and every piece names its year. The coin outranks the jewelry, and always will.

LEGENDS WORTH KEEPING

Two animals a nation put on its money.

The wolfhound that guarded kings and worked itself out of a job. The pony, legend says, swum ashore from the wrecks of the Armada to the Connemara coast. Their stories come with the goods, which is rather the point of the shop.
