Christmas Gift Ideas for Equestrians

Are you struggling to find the best Christmas gift for horse riders? Is there a special equestrian in your life that would love a Christmas gift?


Horsey Christmas gifts are what we do best!


In our experience, there’s nothing an equestrian loves more than unwrapping a new saddle pad or on Christmas Day!


But it doesn’t stop there. Horse riders are inherently practical people. They also know how to look after a 500kg animal better than themselves! It’s what we love about them!


While we scratch our heads when Uncle Jamie gives us a gift voucher to the local shopping centre (thanks btw I can buy a dress for Spring Carnival now!) we love nothing more than that fluffy headcollar we have been eyeing off and a new rug for that horse we *might* have picked up off Facebook a few weeks ago….


So here it is, the ultimate list of Christmas gift ideas for equestrians!

1. Something luxury that we wouldn’t normally splurge on

Basically anything from Kentucky Horsewear fits the bill here! They know how to take a humble horse rug and turn it into a fashion accessory. The horse rider in your life will think of you every time they arrive in style at a show with their horse dressed in a Kentucky Show Rug!


Shop the ultra-luxe Kentucky Show Rug in a range of colours here

2. Something for the rider


Yes our horse is #1 in our life (sorry Mum, Dad, partner, child….) but our horse is often dressed better than we are!!


Treat the horse rider in your life to a beautiful tall boot bag, saddle pad bag or bridle bag.


Yes…..okay….they’re kind of for the horse to…...but they look after our gear!!

3. Something practical for their horse


This Christmas, give our favourite equestrian something they really need! It’s summer in Australia so horses always need a new fly mask, mesh rug or hybrid rug.


You can find a great range of practical summer gifts for horse riders on our website here

4. Something to protect their horse


If you have ever seen a vet bill you will know that keeping horses safe and injury free wherever possible is a good investment!!


When working on the arena or just grazing in the paddock, horses can accidentally hit themselves causing injury. 


Give the horse rider in your life the Christmas gift that keeps on giving with a set of protective horse boots!


We have a great quality range that you can explore here!


We hope our guide has assisted you in finding the perfect horsey Christmas gift this year!
