Practical Gifts for Horse Care

Some horse owners and lovers prefer practical gifts. In this case, you will want to choose very useful gifts. Undoubtedly, items that help a horse owner care for her horse are excellent choices. One category of gift is grooming tools. New grooming kits can include a curry comb, dandy brush, body brush, mane comb, hoof pick, and sweat scraper.

Along with the hoof pick, hood care supplies are vital to owning a horse. Besides the pick, you can give rasps, brushes, and conditioners.

Additionally, feed and treats are the gifts that keep on giving. Feeding a horse is expensive, and giving your horse lover some feed makes an excellent gift.

Fashionable Equestrian Gear

Like our list of practical gifts, you can also give several pieces of gear. Horse lovers who ride need a lot of equipment. Even if your rider does not compete, a good set of riding boots is necessary. Moreover, you can purchase other apparel such as:

• Chaps
• Riding Pants
• Vests
• Jackets
• Helmets

Experiential Gifts for Horse Lovers

Sometimes, there are better ways to go than material items. For the horse riders who do not need equipment, you can give them an experience! 

For the inexperienced rider, paying for riding lessons makes the perfect gift. Almost all training centers offer introductory courses (and higher levels when applicable). After speaking with a stable, you can purchase a lesson or gift certificate to open this world for your horse lover.

Trail ride vouchers will give your rider a pass to the great outdoors. They can see beautiful landscapes on the trail and bond with their horse.

Finally, you can take your horse lover to an equestrian event. Competitions for dressage, jumping, and rodeos are occurring all the time. Find a local one and take in a show.

Charitable Gifts that Support Horses

If you and your horse lover love to give back, you can find a charitable organization to donate in your Valentine’s name. Several rescue organizations need monetary donations and equipment. Working with them, you can establish a regular donation to honor your horse lover.

If you prefer a one-time donation, hundreds of charities work with horses, including rescue, education, and medical research.

DIY Valentine's Day Gifts

In the end, a DIY gift will always touch the heart. Create a homemade horse stall sign. You can decorate it to match the stable's theme or match the horse's name. Of course, homemade treats for their favorite horse will surely make them smile. With some research, you can find several horse-safe recipes for treats.
