Unusual Gifts for Horse Lovers

Humans have always had a special relationship with horses and horse gifts are much appreciated by horse lovers. Horses have allowed themselves to be tamed and have worked in partnership with man since ancient times. Horses play different roles in modern society: race horses - some of the more successful become quite famous and are worth a lot of money; beasts of burden - traditional farming methods still employed in some countries in the world use horses; horses trained for police and military use; and horses kept for a hobby for those who enjoy horse-riding. Horse gifts are appreciated by those who enjoy horse riding and those who love horses.

Horse riding gifts

Horse riding is an expensive hobby. People of all ages enjoy horse riding but children are often particularly keen to learn while they are growing up. Vouchers or gift certificates for horse riding lessons would make a wonderful gift for a youngster wanting to learn how to ride, or for an adult who used to ride as a child but wants to get back into it in later life. Horse riders require a lot of equipment to go horse riding regularly. The most important item a horse rider requires is a riding hat to protect their head if they fall. If buying a hat as a horse gift for a horse lover, you need to find out the recipient's head size. The recipient may need to try the hat on to make sure it is comfortable and fits snugly. Other useful horse equipment would be riding boots - these are about calf length and snug fitting. Again, you would need to know the person's shoe size. Jodhpurs are trousers designed to be tight-fitting so they don't catch on branches etc. These usually come in beige or neutral colors but can be bought in dark colors. Go for sober colors though, as bright colored clothes may startle the horses. A fitted jacket or weather-proof clothing may also be appropriate.

Horse owners may appreciate horse accessories such as a box for keeping their grooming kit in. Brushes, combs, hoof oil, clothes and leather care products would also be very useful for someone who has just acquired a horse or pony. For someone who enjoys competitions, or gymkhanas, a board to attach their rosettes to would be useful.

Horse lover gifts

Other horse gifts that don't necessarily relate to horse riding would be artwork, collectables such as china horses or model horses, or soft toys. Some brands of model horses increase in value, for instance Breyer horses (see http://www.breyerhorses.com/), and people swap them as well. Younger children would probably appreciate horse gifts such as horse coloring in book, or horse toys and jigsaws. Rocking horses, that a child could sit on and rock back and forth, were very popular in Victorian times and still have a strong appeal today.
