1. Horse Stationary.
Horse cards and stationary comes in all varieties, so there really is something for everyone. You can get discipline specific cards, abstract horse art, unicorns, or true works of art – all on stationary or note cards. This is a great Christmas gift for equestrians because it is something they will actually use, and it shows their love of horses to people they send it to.
2. Custom Stall Sign
A custom stall sign is a cute and simple Christmas gift for a horse lover, but it also will be great appreciated because it is personal and unique. There are a multitude of styles to choose from, with most being made out of wood or metal. An adult or child will appreciate this custom gift.
3. Grooming Supplies
Horse people spend a lot of time grooming their horses, and as such, will appreciate anything that will make that process easier or more fun. No matter how many brushes or products they have, they’ll love new brushes or new inventions to try on their horse. This is what makes any grooming supplies a great Christmas gift for equestrians.
Grooming Set
A new grooming set is a great gift for a younger horse lover. If they need to have the basics covered, a grooming set will get them started so they have everything they need.
The top pick? This Weaver Grooming Kit – it is a 7 piece set complete with it’s own tote.
It also comes in a variety of colors to suit every rider.
Haas Horse brushes
The Haas Brand of horse brushes is great for anyone looking for a higher quality brush.
They have a variety of different styles, but one thing is consistent – these brushes are comfortable for the horse and human while standing up to continued use.
Haas brushes are available on Amazon, Ebay and many horse product retailers.
Leistner Horse Brushes
Leistner Brushes are a very nice brand of horse brush that are made in Germany. They have 100% goat and horse hair bristles and high quality beech and pear wood handles.
Horses will love the feel of these brushes and horse lovers will enjoy using such a beautiful and exceptional quality brush.
Hands On Grooming Gloves
Hands on grooming gloves are an awesome Christmas gift for equestrians. These are such a handy tool for shedding a horse out, and they are great for getting mud off during the winter. Keep your nails and hands clean while still scratching your horse like they want.
If your horse doesn’t like the grooming gloves, the StripHair Gentle Groomer is perfect for sensitive horses who find the Hands On Gloves to be too harsh (my TB does not appreciate their scratching characteristics). Read my full review of the StripHair Groomer here.
Custom Horse Grooming Tote
This custom wood grooming tote will make any equestrian’s Christmas. Not only is it customizable with the horse’s name, but the hand carved details can be customized as well. It is also a smart design with a mesh at the bottom so dirt can fall right out instead of building up inside the tote.
4. Jewelry
What horse lover doesn’t love new jewelry for Christmas? There are so many styles of equestrian jewelry that it is hard to decide what to purchase.
Horse-themed jewelry can be the perfect Christmas gift for horse lovers.
Horse Hair Jewelry.
If you can get a little bit of a horse’s tail hair, you can have custom horse hair jewelry made for Christmas for your favorite Equestrian. Horse hair jewelry is surprisingly durable and there are so many design options, that there is something for everyone.
Custom horse hair jewelry is beautiful, but it may not be everyone’s style. Here are some other equestrian jewelry picks that are great options for Christmas Gifts.

5. Tickets to an equestrian event
This can be one of the most expensive options for a Christmas gift to your favorite equestrian. Depending on location, this could include just the tickets to an event, or it could involve plane tickets and hotel stays.
There are big horse shows and events around the world. Here are some of the biggest options (although many equestrians will enjoy the smaller events that may be closer to home as well):
- Olympics
- World Equestrian Games
- Rolex
- The Kentucky Derby
- The Tevis Cup
- Reining World Championship
Regardless of which discipline an equestrian participates in, they will enjoy getting tickets to a big time horse event as a Christmas gift.

8. Winter Riding Apparel for an Equestrian christmas gift
Winter is a rough time for horse people. Our horses get coated in mud, the weather can prevent us from riding, and the days are oh so short. So comfy winter riding clothes are always an awesome Christmas gift for equestrian.
New pair of winter gloves
A new pair of winter gloves is always a wonderful Christmas gift. We wear out gloves pretty quickly so having a new pair of warm gloves in the winter is always appreciated.
A new pair of boot socks
Getting a new pair of regular socks is nice, but getting a nice pair of riding socks is even nicer! These knee high boot socks from C4 come in fun colors and have a cute “heels down” at the heel of the socks.
Winter Riding pants
A new pair of winter riding pants are a great Christmas gift to keep your favorite equestrian warm this winter. Winter riding breeches or fleece lined jeans will keep your legs warm.
9. A piece of art
Artwork can be a fantastic Christmas gift for equestrians because there are so many options. You can spend a bit more and do a custom work of art, or keep the cost more reasonable by purchasing a print or pre-made piece of art.
Custom Paint by numbers from any photo of your choosing – can be dog, horse, cat, anything really!
10. Horse treats
Fancy horse treats are fun for horses and riders. Your horse will enjoy the treat and they’re fun to share with your friends at the barn.
If your horse can’t handle that much sugar, try these natural small horse treats – they’re my favorite treats. The horses love them, and you can break them in half to make even more treats.
11. A Good book
A good book is an excellent Christmas gift idea for any equestrian. There are non-fiction and fiction books that any horse lover will enjoy.
