It’s that time of the year again! I personally love Christmas shopping. Spending money on gifts for my friends and family is one of my most favorite activities. But I realize most people stress over this yearly holiday chore, especially the loved ones of us crazy equestrians. So I put together a list of neat horsey related gifts that require limited or no knowledge of horses.

For $35 this pillow is adorable. You’d need access to a ribbon, preferably a blue ribbon won by your loved equestrian, so it would require a little bit of planning and sneaking around, but that only makes the gift even more cool.

Dana’s Doodles website has a plethora of cute horse swag. This stall sign for $35 is especially cute, and all you need to know is the horse’s name.

Isn’t etsy awesome! This hand stamped bracelet says “sometimes I ride to forget, but I never forget to ride”. Riding is an escape for most of us and this bracelet echo’s the sentiment even when we’re not at the barn. And it’s only $28!!

Don’t ask me why but I’m obsessed with leather care, and I bet other horse people are too. We deal with a lot of expensive leather equipment. Effax is the best, and this kit has it all.

The Newmarket double-bonded fleece is awesome. It will change your life. I should know… I spent an absurd amount on a blanket for Savy in the navy and now I would like one for myself, thank you very much. The color patterns are recognizable to any self-respecting horse person and the quality will be appreciated immediately.

This one is no-brainer. A girl can never have too many totes.
If you’re looking for something more personal, I can’t even tell you how much I would love someone that made my horse homemade treats. Here’s a website with several easy recipes.

Horses like mud. We clean them with brushes. We then have dirty brushes. Now we are cleaning horses with dirty brushes. This is a perfect solution.

This grooming block may look weird, but it’s a god-send during shedding season, which is just around the corner (after Christmas).

I just want this.

These braiding bands are one of those things that we think are cool, but would never buy for ourselves. Buy them for us please.
Happy holiday shopping!!
