Gifts for Horse People

Horse-loving folks of all ages enjoy receiving animal-themed gifts. Whether it's a birthday, holiday or special anniversary celebration, head to the local farm supply store, jewelry shop or toy store for horse-themed gifts. Celebrate a passion for all things equestrian by selecting gifts to use while working with horses or gifts that depict horses.

  1. Gifts for Women

    • For a birthday or anniversary, consider a piece of jewelry. Women enjoy necklaces, rings and key rings with horse designs. For a smaller token of appreciation, consider a candle with a horse carved into the wax or etched onto the candle's glass vessel. For the winter holidays, try a warm throw blanket printed with a horse scene or a thick flannel jacket made of horse-printed fabric. A new copy of a favorite horse-themed novel or movie is perfect for winter weather gift-giving.

      Women who compete in horse shows would appreciate matching show clothes. Decorative shirts with coordinating boots or belt buckles let them ride in style. Choose an outfit that complements the colors in the rider's saddle blanket, saddle or tack.

    Gifts for Men

    • Men who love to spend time outdoors with their horses don't mind flaunting their love of the large creatures. Personalized belt buckles, a wallet with a horse motif or a cowboy hat with metallic embellishments--such as miniature horseshoes or the profile of a horse--delight even the most masculine horse owner. For avid readers, choose a best seller that highlights the bond between horses and humans.

      Choose gifts the recipient can share with his horse such as a high-quality saddle blanket, custom leather tack or accessories for the interior of a horse trailer cab. And don't forget the Wild West-themed floor mats and steering wheel cover for the vehicle that hauls the horse trailer.

    Gifts for Children

    • Children who love horses show it every chance they get. Let children show off with a new backpack for school, T-shirt or baseball-style cap printed with a horse theme. For younger children, a gift of plush or plastic horse models allows them to play with horses when they can't be out in the stables. Stickers, coloring books, movies and age-appropriate books will also make a horse-loving child smile. For children who love horses but live in a city, consider a gift certificate for horse riding lessons or tickets to a horse show.
