Finding the perfect gift for an adult woman horse owner is one thing, but you need to put some extra thought into a present for a girl who is still a teenager or a child. Girls who are still learning about horseback riding and equestrian life won’t like the same gifts that a grownup might, even if they’re teenagers. It’s important to spend a little bit more time finding gifts that are uniquely suited to horse lovers who are still “growing into” the hobby.
While a woman equestrian might like gifts that focus on more advanced horseback riding skills, teenage girls and kids are more likely to appreciate simpler grooming tools, personalized tack items, and even horse treats. The stuff you’ll find in a SaddleBox gift subscription is perfect for both adults and kids, and we always make sure that everything in our monthly boxes are suitable for horse riders of all ages.
There are many unique gifts for teenage girl horse owners that you probably won’t find in a SaddleBox, though, just because of the constraints of the package size. Personalized larger tack items like saddles and halters are simply too large to fit in our box, but they can make terrific (albeit more expensive) gifts for girl horse lovers.
If that special equestrian is a teenager, then you might be able to get away with buying her a standard sized saddle as a present. Just make sure that you get the right information on the size of the girl you’re getting the gift for, the size and type of horse she rides, and the heights and weights that the saddle is suitable for.
Remember: it’s always better to buy a nice horse gift that she will have to “grow into” than one that’s too small for her! Especially if it’s something that is a serious investment. Saddles definitely fit that bill.
If the horse lover is a little girl, you may want to give serious consideration to whether or not a saddle is the right choice as a present. If she doesn’t already own one, then that’s the most important part of the equation. If, on the other hand, she does already have a saddle that works perfectly well for her horseback riding needs, then you might want to think about buying a different gift.
There are many great things about saddles, though, that make them a terrific gift for female riders. First, they last forever. A saddle that is properly taken care of could last literally for the rest of a girl’s life, if she treats it well. And secondly, it can be personalized in a way that makes it a completely unique gift.
We’re not just talking about personalizing it with the teenager’s name, although that’s certainly a possibility. You can also choose the colors, style, “bling” like rhinestones and embroidery, and many other special accoutrements that can make it the perfect gift for a horse loving girl.
The possibilities are endless, but we know that the money in your bank account isn’t endless. Before you go spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a gift for a teenage girl who owns a horse, make extra sure that it’s something she will love and use for many years to come. Otherwise, simpler (and less expensive) gift ideas are probably a better option.
