Subscribers will receive a brand new micro mini every month plus a FREE special exclusive model at the end of every 12 months. You may join any time, and will begin receiving micros with the following month's release.
The exclusive micro you receive will be the one corresponding with the calendar year in which you signed up.
This is handled through PayPal's subscription service.
The micros are all new original sculptures and will be available to the general public no sooner than one month after they're sent out to subscribers (they'll cost more, then, as well). As of January 2020, all Monthly Micros are produced only in pewter.
If you're in the USA and would like two subscriptions, we're now offering combined shipping! This is $76 per month and gets you two copies every month. In general, if there's a variation and you have multiple subscriptions, we also try to make sure you get different versions!
The annual bonus model shipping throughout 2024 is Inclement Weather, a group of Chincoteague ponies swimming! Pictured is the group with a prototype base--updated photos coming soon!
International subscriptions are closed at this time for multi-month shipping. I've left the listings below for informational purposes only.

To have your micros shipped every six months, use the button below. This option saves on shipping for you and costs $39 per month. Please note that if you choose to cancel your subscription in between shipments you may need to pay the difference in shipping.
Please scroll down to read my FAQ--if you still have any questions please feel free to email me!
Do I have to subscribe for a full year? What if I need to cancel?
While the only subscription offered is a continuous subscription, I understand that sometimes life gets in the way. If you need to cancel your subscription at any time you may do so. However, subscriptions that are canceled or suspended will not be eligible for the free exclusive model until 12 consecutive monthly payments have been made. Edit 2020: If you need to suspend your subscription for COVID-related reasons just email us--we will help you out and this will not damage your eligibility for your bonus model.
Can you ship my models to a different address?
It's much easier for me to ship all your subscription models to the same address, however, if you need to change your address for any reason please email me at maggie@maggiebennett.com.
I just paid. When will my first horse come?
Your subscription begins the first day of the calendar month following your purchase date. Thus, if you purchased January 29, 2017, your first micro mini would ship in February 2017 and the twelfth micro of your subscription as well as your bonus micro would ship January 2018. If you purchased May 1, 2017, your first micro mini would ship in June 2017.
Which models will I get if I subscribe partway through the year?
You will receive the model corresponding to the month following your initial subscription, and then each month after that until you cancel your subscription. You will not receive the micro minis from months previous to your subscription beginning--although those horses will be available for purchase eventually!
How much will the models cost to non-subscribers?
Each micro will be available no sooner than one month after that sculpture ships out to subscribers. The price will be higher than the subscription price, and will generally be in the $40 range. Some pieces may be more expensive.
What happened to the resins?
Due to the incredible time requirements of casting the resin micros, they were discontinued beginning in 2020. The subscription is now all pewter!
Are they fragile?
Yes. These are small and have thin legs. They are not toys and should be handled with care.
How is the black resin different? Can I paint it?
The black resin is harder and stronger than the standard white resin. You can prep and paint it just the same, although it is slightly more brittle due to its much greater hardness and strength. Starting in October 2018 and ending in December 2019, Monthly Micros were cast in white resin (dyed various colors) which is somewhat softer and more resilient. Starting in November 2018, a matching subscription in pewter is also available. As of January 2020 all Monthly Micros are offered in pewter only.
What if my horse arrives broken?
If your horse arrives broken, please contact me immediately so I can replace it.
Can I customize my micros?
Absolutely! You may modify them in any way you like. However, you may not mold, cast, or otherwise reproduce the result.
What's next month's horse?
It's a surprise! Subscribe to find out!
Can I have multiple subscriptions?
Sure! Go for it! :-)
Is there a discount on postage if I have multiple subscriptions going to the same address?
Not at this time. If there's enough demand I can set this up, but it complicates my shipping process.
Can I get other micro minis shipped for free with my subscription horse?
Sometimes! Beth can sometimes combine shipping depending on when other purchases were made.
Will you be making a Thoroughbred/Clydesdale/Shetland/my favorite breed?
Maybe! If you'd really like to see something you can let me know, but no promises on what will be coming.
When will this month's horses ship?
Typically horses ship in the third or fourth week of the month. This may mean that you receive your horse in the following month. We're trying to work towards shipping a bit earlier though!
