Gifts for Friesian Horse Lovers

The Friesian horse is a very beautiful animal, with a stunning black coat, a long flowing mane and tail and long feathers around its feet. If someone you know is the proud owner of one of these magnificent animals, you can make your friend or family member very happy with a gift that celebrates their choice of riding companion.

  1. Custom-Made Tack

    • Friesians tend to be large and full bodied horses, and as a result many standard bridles and saddles do not fit them properly. If you are looking for a big gift for the Friesian lover in your life, consider having a saddle or bridle custom made for your friend's horse. You can measure the horse yourself, if you can do it surreptitiously, or you can simply give your friend a gift certificate for a custom fitted bridle or saddle.

    Digital Photo Frame

    • One of the most unique, and most appreciated, gifts you can give the Friesian lover in your life is a digital photo frame preloaded with pictures of that person's favorite horses. To bring the gift together in time for the recipient's birthday or the holiday season, start snapping pictures of your friend's horses every time you visit, and solicit favorite photographs from your friend's family members. Load those pictures on to a thumb drive or SD card, and then place them in the digital photo frame. When your friend receives the photo frame, all she will need to do is plug it in and turn it on.

    Grooming Kit

    • The long hair and dark color of the Friesian presents some unique grooming challenges for horse owners, and any Friesian owner would be happy to receive a custom made grooming kit that includes the items they need to keep their four legged companion looking his best. Buy a grooming basket at your local tack shop, and fill it with a wide toothed mane and tail comb, a bottle of shampoo designed for black horses, some brushes and a hoof pick or two. You can even throw in a gift card to the same tack shop to complete the package.
