Choosing the perfect present for the equestrian woman in your life can be challenging. These 12 horse lover gifts are sure to please any rider!
How proud would you be if you gave the horse lover in your life a gift she loved? It can be hard to figure out the perfect gift for a horse girl. I know, because I am one!
When I’m not working full-time, cleaning my house, or writing for my blog, you can find me at the barn, schooling huntseat on a beautiful paint mare.
You might be tempted to pick up a flashy piece of tack or riding apparel when choosing a gift for an equestrian or horse owner. Unless you know your equestrian’s size and exactly what they want (And the horse’s size, too!), that might not be the best idea.
See, tack and riding apparel make great horse lover gifts, if you know exactly what items horse and rider want. However, choosing an equestrian gift without the right knowledge is setting the recipient up to return or exchange it.
As a result, it’s best to choose a gift that’s horse-inspired, but a little more universal. Here are 12 great ideas for horse lover gifts for her. Any horse owner or equestrian is sure to love these!
Horse Lover Gifts for Her
Don’t you wish you could find a horse lover gift for the equestrian woman in your life? These 12 horse owner or horse lover gifts are fun and horse-related, but are versatile enough that almost any rider will love them.
Heart to Horse Box
First on the list of horse lover gifts is the Heart to Horse Box from State Line Tack. Not sure what to gift your horse girl? Let the experts decide!
State Line Tack’s Heart to Horse Box features tack, treats, apparel, and tools for horse and rider, all tested for coolness by SLT’s staff. It’s almost like a gift basket full of things she and her mount will love! This grab bag of equestrian loot is one of the best horse lover gifts yet.
Two cool things about the Heart to Horse Box:
First, you can choose to give it as a one-time gift, or you can give it as a monthly subscription, so your horse girl will be showered with equine awesomeness all year long.
Second, 25% of net proceeds are donated to local community rescues in need. Your horse girl will love that your gift to her is also a gift to horses in need!
Why Horses Do That by Lisa Dines
This book on horse behavior is a quick, yet fascinating read. Why Horses Do That isn’t overly-scientific and explains the reasons behind common horse behaviors. I own the Kindle version, myself! The explanations are thorough yet to the point.
The book also includes nice black-and-white illustrations, so it’s like 2 horse lover gifts in one!
Horse Wind Chime
Feeling the wind across your face as you canter or gallop on horseback is special for an equestrian. When I’m stressed, I’ll often close my eyes and imagine I’m cantering across a field on a warm, sunny day, the wind whipping across my cheeks.
Don’t you wish you could give your horse girl the gift of that feeling when she’s away from the barn?
A horse wind chime is a great option when it comes to horse lover gifts. It’s horse-related, beautiful, and produces soothing sounds with even the gentlest wind. It’s sure to stir those happy feelings of being on horseback in your equestrian’s soul!
Horseshoe “Love” Sweatshirt
A unique, hooded “love” sweatshirt is a perfect horse lover gift. It’s cute, practical, and lets your equestrian declare her love for her mount. This horseshoe “love” sweatshirt would be great for throwing hay during cool fall nights.
Boot Socks
Did you know that many English riders wear socks specifically for riding? Whether your favorite equestrian wears a full-shaft boot or paddock boots and half-chaps, she would probably love some fun, quality boot socks.
They’re designed for comfort, performance, and style. Trust me, they’re not your average knee-highs! Plus, since sock sizing is easier to guess than other equestrian apparel, this is a wearable horse lover gift that will probably be well-received!
Snaffle Bit Bracelet
This snaffle bit bracelet is another horse-related gift that most any rider will love. Snaffle bits are a popular equestrian pattern or adornment on clothing and accessories. This leather bracelet features a tiny snaffle bit. I especially love the leather because it reminds me of the rest of the bridle! This bracelet will allow your equestrian to wear her love for horses with style.
“Keep Calm” Riding Mug
This “Keep calm, chin up, heels down” mug is next on the list of horse lover gifts for her.
Wondering what it means? “Keep calm, chin up, heels down” is sound advice for any rider. Those 3 points are the very basic foundation of good riding. As a result, you’ll hear many a riding instructor shouting them out separately or together during lesson, even with experienced riders. It’s a great equestrian gift.
“Just Get Over It” T-Shirt
Have a hunter/jumper or eventer in your life? This “just get over it” tee is the perfect horse lover gift for her. The fabric looks so soft and comfy, it would be great to slip into for the ride home from showing! The number one goal in jumping? Just get over it.
English Stirrup Keychain
Nothing will remind your horse girl of being in the irons more than this pewter and leather English stirrup keychain. It’s simple, beautiful, and functional. It would be great for barn keys, or car keys for the city-dwelling horse lover. The braided leather is unique, and your English rider will smile when she sees that detailed English iron.
Horse and Rider Emergency ID Saddle Tag
How much better would you feel knowing that your rider and her horse could be identified in the case of an emergency?
This horse and rider emergency ID saddle tag is an equestrian gift that might one day help save a life. It includes information on identification, emergency contacts, and health insurance/care for both horse and rider. Peace of mind is probably the greatest of all horse lover gifts.
Leg Strap Cell Phone Holder
While we’re on the subject of safety, it’s best to carry a cell phone when trail riding or even when schooling alone. The problem is, many riders toss their cell phone in a saddle bag and assume that’s enough protection. But what if a rider falls and is separated from her horse? The horse won’t use his hoof to dial for help!
This leg strap cell phone holder is one of the best horse lover gifts. It adjusts to fit almost any rider, is lightweight and slim so it won’t cause discomfort while riding. Most importantly, it keeps your equestrian’s cell phone on her body rather than on the horse. That’s right where it should be in the event of an emergency.
Manna Pro Apple Nuggets
Last but certainly not least, why not pick up something for your rider’s favorite equine? These Manna Pro Apple Nuggets are super popular, and they’re a top seller on Amazon. She’ll be so glad you thought of her horse, too! Because when we’re talking about horse lover gifts, we can’t forget the horse!
Always check with a horse’s owner or trainer before offering it something to eat. Some horses have allergies or are on special diets.
