lovers in your life, but the lovely horses as well.

There are a whole host of reasons your should keep a quick thank you ready for the handy people in your life you make horse existence great.

Personalized Horse Gift

-Tell your best friend you love them with a halter sporting his name on it!  That shows everyone your horse is special.  They vary greatly in price depending on what type you select but ultimately all horses have to have one.

-Maybe a stable blanket, about $250.00 or so for a good Weatherbeta but I don’t know a horse in the world that likes to be cold.

-Or even better, a Jolly Ball, only about $20.00 and they come in about, 3 different flavors and a bunch of sizes and shapes, most horses adore them and will play for hours with it.

-And Stud Muffins!  Watch the diet on our chubbier friends, but they are great as an occasional horse gift to say “I just think you’re the most awesome horse in the whole world”.

For the Veterinarian

-Anyone who loves horses likes Hotties, those little hand and foot warmers for out in the cold, and a vet is no exception to this rule.  Having a few handy will make you a welcome site on a cold day.

-A Starbucks Coffee card.  Most of us are often cold in the winter, as well as highly caffeinated, showing you understand this is a great way to show your appreciation to the vet, even if your horse isn’t as enamored with him.

-A car safety kit is a must for those of us one the road all the time, and they can either be put together by you or purchased at various places.  Flares, a safety blanket, a flashlight, maybe a candy bar or two, the ideas are limitless and those of us living out of our car nowadays really love the though taken.

-A nice set of gloves.  Deer skin, and the like, these are comfy and great for riding as well as just looking cool around the barn.

-These little statues are fun and most gals seem to enjoy them.  They come in more styles and colors than can be imagined and are available everywhere.  I’ve seen these used as wedding gifts pretty often. 

-Baseball caps, sweatshirts, all kinds of things can be purchased with anything Arabian to zebra on it.  Your horse friend will just be impressed you know what kind of horse they have, or what discipline they ride in.

-A good picture and frame of them and their horse.  A very personalized horse gift, and nice, this is something they will keep for a long time and just love that you made for them.  These always make great Christmas gifts.

For The Farrier!

-I love a gift basket full of goodies, and they can be full of almost anything.  It’s about who your making one for, and everyone has a thing.  Learn what they love and run with it.

-Restaurant Gift Card.  Hey, we all have to eat, and most Farriers I know make regular meals of whatever garbage can be pitched out a window at high speed.  A good restaurant is a welcome change, and I love to take my clients with me.

-Little signs, like the one pictured here, are inexpensive, fun, and easy to find.  They make a great quick, easy find for a gift when you need one.

Horse Racing Gifts

-A great gift for horse racing fans is a print of the sport.  Many talented artists devote themselves to producing the best image available of these horses at the top of their game.

-Christmas ornaments.   These are great and can be easy to find at Christmas.  Go baby go.

-Ties.  Many fun hand painted ties are available for the horse racing fan man of your life and provide a unique piece to talk about at work when one is worn.

-Tickets.  A day at the races is always a blast, and is great quality time to spend with your special people of your life.

-These are just a sampling of ideas of gifts for the horse racing fans in your life.  I hope they help point you in a direction that helps you find what you really need.
