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.
