Non-Tack Horse Gift Ideas
Generally speaking, horse owners are picky about their tack. If you are looking for a good gift for your favorite horse lover, we have a few suggestions that are not tack-related.
Personalized Horse Accessories
One gift choice that flirts with tack gifts is the personalization of the tack. Engraved tags and plates will add a bit of flair to a halter or stall. Adding the stable or horse name will give any halter a professional look. You can also embroider an existing saddle pad with a horse name, team name, or stable name.
Horse-Themed Apparel
You can still find plenty of horse-themed apparel for your equestrian who has everything. You can find horse-themed jewelry if your loved one loves sparkle and shine. It does not need to feel childish. It can be very stylish and comfortable.
Another great gift is a new pair of riding gloves. After all, gloves will protect your rider from blisters and the cold. They can even give a better grip on the reins.
Artistic Equestrian Gifts
Horses are magnificent creatures. They are beautiful and elegant, and artists love to use horses as the subject of their art. Artists create sculptures, portraits, and photographs of horses.
You can either find a completed work from an artist or commission a specific piece from an artist. A personal photo session or portrait of your equestrian’s horse will make a heartfelt gift.
Horse Treats and Toys
Treats and toys are an excellent choice if you are looking for a gift for a particular horse. Homemade horse treats are a very budget-friendly gift and do not leave the owner with an extra item to care for.
Some ideas for treats include:
- Carrot and apple muffins
- Oatmeal cookies
- Molasses cookies
- Peanut butter and banana bits
Additionally, horses need to be entertained, and they love toys. Several horse toys on the market are safe for your horse and keep them occupied for hours.
Educational Horse Books
Any avid equestrian loves to learn more and more about the sport, horses, and equipment. An educational book will allow your horse lover to expand their general knowledge about training and horses.
Even if you do not wish to be a horse trainer, understanding the training techniques can significantly improve your riding experience. Be sure to choose training guides from writers and trainers with solid reputations.
Equestrian Experience Gifts
For new and experienced horseback riders, a lesson can be an excellent gift. Lessons are often sold for individual and group settings. Even advanced riders can benefit from a lesson. It gives them time to check in and make corrections.
