-People say don’t, but I say if you know someone well enough DO!  Just make sure you know the circumstances well enough that there won’t be a tragic outcome.  Kids are typically the recipient of such a gift, but I have seen other family members be very thrilled at the prospect, and as with any gift the more you know about the recipient’s life the better it will go.

-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.
