  • Celebrate the timeless beauty of a beloved companion with the new Horses stamps from the U.S. Postal Service®. Integral to American culture and society, these animals are now valued for their roles in sport and recreation.

    The selvage showcases a chestnut horse with a black muzzle and mane peering out of a Dutch barn window. The pane of 20 stamps features 5 photographs of individual horses. Featured on 3 of these stamps are horses in their natural environments against a background of green foliage: a gray-maned dappled white stallion; a horse with a russet coat, a copper mane, and white facial markings; and a golden chestnut with a chalky white mane. Another stamp features a horse with a brown spotted coat and light-colored mane against a snowy wooded background. And the 5th stamp shows a chestnut horse with a white blaze against a simple black background.

    Art director Derry Noyes designed the stamps using existing photographs taken by Stephanie Moon and Karen Wegehenkel.

    The Horses stamps are being issued as Forever® stamps. These Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce price.
