10 Gift Ideas For The Equestrian
Hey everyone!
For my fellow riders, horse lovers, trainers, show moms, and more; this gift guide is for you! I have included some things that are on my personal wish list plus items that I think riders of all levels (beginner to more advanced) will love!
1. PJ’s are one of my favorite Christmas gifts that my mom gets me every year. They’re always super cute and very comfy. These bit themed pajamas from Dover are the perfect pj’s for any equestrian!
2. One of the first riders I met at the barn, Emily, had one of these boot bags and I have been wanting one ever since. This is the exact brand that she has (even though I’m sure there are tons out there). I personally love all of the plaid print options and love that this also has an additional pocket on the outside.
3. If you are or know of a beginner rider who is looking to get a not-so-expensive pair of riding gloves, these Heritage riding gloves from Smartpak are perfect! They’re only $25 and they come in 5 different colors! I have them in purple. 🙂 However, if you’re looking for a very well known brand, you can never go wrong with Roeckl.
4. Have you done a photoshoot with your horse, or have extra special memories from the day you got your horse, your best show, etc.? What better way to showcase it than in a horseshoe photo frame!
5. I recently tried out Botori riding pants (blog post coming soon!) and I absolutely LOVED them. They are the most comfortable pair of riding pants I own and they are multi-purpose. I see a ton of riders on Instagram even wearing them to the gym! These riding pants are the perfect gift for riders of all levels.
6. Most people don’t usually think of getting a halter for someone for Christmas. However, if you think about it, the main time that you ever get one is when you’re first getting your horse or if yours breaks. This simple Nylon halter from Dover comes in six colors and three sizes. Now, if you love this idea but want to make it more personal, you can always get a classic leather halter and add a custom name plate to it. Check out two options here and here.
7. I did a blog post a few months ago about the Saddlebox Subscription box. Click here to read it. This subscription box is perfect for horse owners/aspiring horse owners. It always comes with the best treats, grooming products, and more!
8. Can’t ride because you’re stuck inside due to the weather? Have fun inside with your best friends and a good game of Horse-Opoly! This horse take on the classic Monopoly game is fun for the whole family.
9. Boot socks are a riding staple! They come in so many fun patterns and designs. These unicorn socks from Dreamers and Schemers were my favorite out of all the patterns on Smartpak’s website. However, you can see even more on their website here.
10. Grooming tools can add up. What better gift for a new horse owner than with a basic grooming kit from Smartpak! It comes with a body brush, face brush, rubber curry comb, sweat scraper, mane and tail brush, and a hoof pick! Not bad right? Plus, the bag has a ton of pockets for extra stuff!
