Gifts to Remember My Horse

Horse owners and their equine companions develop close bonds that stand the test of time. The passing of a horse can be a very difficult time for many. Although everyone who loses a trusted animal friend develops coping mechanisms to deal with grief, the pain of can be mitigated with a special gift of remembrance.

  1. Horse Hair Jewelry

    • Woven horse-hair jewelry is a highly personal way to remember your horse. Created from tail or mane hair, these custom works of art are fitting for both male and female horse lovers. Making the horse's hair into something useful you can use every day is more practical than storing it a bag. Jewelry is available in styles from watches to hatbands.

    Paintings and Sketches

    • A horse's distinct personality can be captured in custom paintings and sketches. Hand-painted portraits and hand-drawn sketches capture the spirit of your horse like no other gift. Specialty artiists can create an image of your horse from a photo or video.

    Slate Memorial

    • A slate memorial is a fitting and lasting tribute. Many slate engraving companies will allow you to customize size, dates, name and silhouette pictures of the horse, such as All Signs Company (see Resources). A slate memorial is an elegant addition to the barn, garden or home. Choose from freestanding plaques to mark a grave site or ready-to-hang styles for that favorite spot you and your horse friend may have shared.

    Throws

    • Personalized throws or blankets feature horse pictures and poems. These keepsake gifts allow you to personalize the horse's name in the poem. Other styles of blankets can be created from a picture of a horse. Pick a picture that clearly illustrates the horse, if using this option.
