1. Riding Apparel

For the fashion-forward equestrian, stylish and functional riding apparel is a must.

Consider getting them riding apparel that is durable, functional, and stylish all at once.

2. Riding Equipment and Tack

For those who own their horse or ride regularly, tack is a thoughtful and practical gift. Bridles, girths, saddles, and saddle pads are all essential pieces of horse riding equipment that can be personalized through color, style, and material. It's essential to keep in mind what riding style they prefer and their horse's preferences. If you're unsure, consider a gift card which they can redeem at their local tack shop.

3. Horse Care Products

Quality horse grooming supplies or specialized horse care products are practical gifts that show you understand the dedication required in maintaining a horse's well-being. Look for premium brushes, grooming sets, or soothing liniments that pamper their equine companion.

4. Equestrian Books

From memoirs and biographies to training manuals and coffee table books on all things equestrian, there is something for everyone. Consider gifting a book from one of their favorite authors or on a topic that's new to them.

5. Breyer Horse Collectibles

Breyer Horses are collectible figurines popular amongst equestrians, and one of the most commonly known horse-themed gifts. If they’re new to collecting, consider a collectable that looks like their horse, a boxed set with multiple horses, or choose a holiday-themed Breyer Horse.

For a more budget-friendly gift idea, consider a horse-themed keyring. Keychains are affordable, functional, and come in a variety of styles.
