Chewy Editor’s Picks: Gifts for Horse Lovers

While generic horse gifts may include a themed mug or T-shirt, consider treating your friend’s horse (quite literally!) to a bucket of horse treats. All horse owners likely have an arsenal of treats for their horses, which always need replenishing. These treats by Equus Magnificus are ultra-chewable, made with real peppermint oil, and feature a Brach’s Star Brite mint center.

Let’s face it—we horse people get dirty when working with our horses. Help your horsey friend keep their hands clean with these grooming gloves by Happy Horse. The gloves are equipped with rubber nodules for horse owners to effectively curry-comb their horse without getting dirt built up under their fingernails. Better yet—they can use the gloves for bathing other furry friends, too!

Did you know some horses love to play with toys? Just like dogs and cats, horses enjoy the mental stimulation offered by toys made of durable materials. Consider a ball horse feeder from Shires Equestrian, made of heavy-duty plastic. Horses enjoy rolling them around and figuring out how to dispense anything from everyday pellets and grain to tasty treats.

Does the horse lover in your life enjoy competing or traveling with their horse? Or perhaps they’re a lesson kid who needs to haul their helmet and other gear back and forth to the barn. Either way, a backpack designed specifically for horse riders is sure to be appreciated. This one from Mackey features a special pocket for a helmet and a dazzling floral and polka dot design.

If you live in an area that gets cold during the winter, chances are local horse owners will need to dig out their horse’s blankets every year. Help make the annual blanket storage pilgrimage a breeze by gifting a blanket storage bag, like this one by Tough1. The bag keeps blankets dust-free and features clips to conveniently hang anywhere.

Horse riding boots are often a significant investment, so keeping them clean and protected is essential. Western-discipline riders will appreciate this sturdy boot bag by Tahoe Tack, which design features an inner nylon lining, a foam support layer, and a heavy-duty, waterproof outer shell.

Speaking of boot bags, check out this beautiful bag for English tall boots from Equine Couture. This one is fully lined, and the whimsical diamond pattern is easy to spot among other boot bags in the barn. For a complete, matching set of gear bags, check out the entire Equine Couture Artemis Collection (each sold separately).

Not only does this grooming supply storage box from Horze feature a removeable tray and durable crack-proof plastic, but it also doubles as a step stool. Horse riders often need a boost, whether it’s to reach a stirrup to swing into the saddle or to stand tall over a horse’s neck while braiding their mane, making this dual-purpose gift a prized possession for its usefulness.

This collapsible duffle bag by Huntley Equestrian is perfect for a weekend away at a horse show or other horsey getaway. This bag features cotton materials and a full interior lining. Choose from classic English and Western themes to perfectly tailor the style to your horse lover’s favorite riding discipline.

You may notice a theme here—storage! Owning and riding horses requires a lot of supplies to keep horses happy and healthy. Made from durable mesh, this handy grooming tote by Kensington Protective Products can help keep brushes, hoof picks, combs, and other materials organized for a horse person on the go.

I speak for all horse girls when I say we love a matching set—especially when it comes to saddle pads and ear bonnets. You’ll find English riders love to coordinate their horse’s gear with their own outfits to match. This set from Equinavia Voss makes it easy, adding a splash of luxe color and texture.

Customize your gift to the max with a horse-shaped pillow featuring a horse’s very own face. These handmade pillows are made with high-definition printing that’s sure to capture all their unique details. Any horse owner will love being able to virtually bring their equine pal inside their home.

Is there a tiny horse lover in your life that loves to read? Reach for this collectible Black Stallion set from Breyer, complete with the classic book and miniature figurine.

Add a bit of equestrian charm to a little girl’s Christmas tree with this personalized ornament. Choose from a blonde or brunette version, and add her and her horse’s names. Your little horse lover is sure to admire the caricature of her riding her favorite pony with their names side by side.

And if you can’t decide? A gift certificate is the perfect present for any horse lover who values the freedom to choose. With a Chewy eGift Card they can pick out exactly what they need.
