Looking forward to pics, I've just started taking an interest in loaches and haven't even heard of horse-faces... lol
Fine, soft substrate like sands for horse-faces as they love to dig. Hillstreams need cool water and very high flow (look up river manifolds). Supplement diet with algae & veggies. Other loaches prefer & do much better in warmer water but are fine with this high flow.
I've done this sort of thing in the past so shouldn't throw stones, but I always feel bad about the mom & pop local LFS loosing out like this, particularly when they're getting beaten down by the likes of Petsmart and internet sales. Be sure to patronize this place again (and lots) so they can make their own back over time.... like for 4 more clowns you'll need to keep them schooling and happy & the 120Gal to house them as they get big, and multiple powerheads you'll need to keep the necessary flow for the hillstreams.

Going on two months, doubt you going to see pics. The guy probably forgot his password.
