We’re pretty partial to SaddleBox as a great horse gift for adults, because it’s a subscription that sends the gift of happiness to that special horse lover every month. It’s a great gift idea for horse lovers of all ages — adults and kids — and you can purchase a gift subscription that comes with a personalized card perfect for birthdays, Christmas, or any occasion.
If you’re looking for other horse gift ideas for adults that are a bit more elaborate or expensive, though, here’s a list of the types of presents equestrians and horse owners are sure to love the most.
1. Personalized Horse Gifts
Most presents that are bought online for adult horse owners are standard issue stuff, but have you thought about personalizing a common horse item? Getting a horse’s name etched onto a grooming brush is one way to make a personalized gift, or you get a photo of your special equestrian and their horse and put it in a nice frame.
Horse polo leg wraps can be personalized too, with favorite colors or logos of an equestrian’s favorite sports team, superhero or any other fun quirky things. Simply adding something unique to a common horse gift immediately makes more memorable and heartfelt!
2. Gift Baskets for Horse Lovers
Making your own horse lover gift basket is something we’ve mentioned on our blog before, and it’s one of our favorite present ideas for equestrians. You can get a brand new feed bucket from a local tack store, pack it full of horse-themed gifts, and wrap it all up with a bow. Believe us, any horse owner would love to get a present like that for Christmas, a birthday, or an anniversary!
3. DIY Horse Gifts You Can Make Yourself
There are tons of different DIY horse lover gifts that you can make in your own home inexpensively and easily. Everything from homemade horse treat recipes, to horseshoe crafts, to horse jewelry and lead ropes! Just like the personalized horse gifts, a Do-It-Yourself gift will be something that they remember for a much longer time and will cherish because you personally put so much work into it.
Remember: it doesn’t have to be perfect to be special!
4. Unique Horse Owner Gifts For Both Men and Women
It’s a fact that most amateur horse owners are women, so it’s sometimes difficult to find a gift for an adult horse lover that is geared toward both of the sexes. Some horse presents that work well for both met and women include riding lesson packages, neutral-colored grooming tools and tack, supplies of horse treats, and more.
Horse gifts for men are sometimes a bit harder to get right, because the industry as a whole is geared more toward females. However, with a little searching, you’ll be able to fine unique horse gifts that work well for either guys or girls.
(For that matter, you’ll probably find that searching for “horse gifts” online will bring up a bunch of results for kid stuff and toys for children. Don’t be discouraged! If you’re looking for gifts for adult horse owners, all it takes is a little persistence. Online tack shops, local brick-and-mortar equestrian stores and other resources are all great place to shop for adult gifts.)
