Xmas gifts for a horsey friend?

Question

My friend moved from the UK to New Zealand earlier this year. I'm a keen horse owner, and she has just bought one in NZ, I'd like to send her a little xmas pressie that is horse related and not too heavy - any ideas?! (I realise this is in the wrong category but I only really want horsey answers from horsey people!!) Thanks in advance x

She's 22 xx Like the Breyer Idea xx

I'll be posting it to New Zealand from the UK

Answer 1

A really nice Breyer model of a horse she might like would be nice. Even for older people, models are good for decor or play.

Answer 2

I would look around on the internet and even google
"horse gifts" - you never know what youd come across. However, I would even look around at Hallmark and see about maybe a candle holder with horses, a table centre peice or something simple like that. There are so many neat ideas for horse gifts for a horse lover youve just got to look around a little - go to a local tack store and see what sort of gift ideas they have, sometimes you can find really awesome stuff in there as well!

EDIT***
Dont forget to send a little something for her equine friend also! :) - Maybe make some homemade horsey cookies if youre feeling really ambitious, or if not, just run into a local tack store and get a small bag of apple treats! - Spice it up with a nice red bow or something nice!


Good Luck - and marry early christmas! : 0)

Answer 3

OK, she has just moved to New Zealand, so if you order something from there, the shipping will be nothing compared to what it would be from here.

There are a lot of shops, some I'm sure much closer to where you friend is located than others...you might even order a stall plate with her new horse's name on it, that's always appropriate...or...what ever her discipline is, get a breyers, same breed and color as her horse with the appropriate tack...again, low shipping from NZ.

Answer 4

A parelli DVD? Even if she's not keen on actually learning and doing it- it will knock her socks off when she watches the horses doing those amazing things- like running into a trailer with a rider on top, dressage, and lifting a rider onto its back by its neck....
Some of the simpler things may improve her relationship with her horse too.

Answer 5

You could send her some horse treats or new Jodphurs or something, even though you might send just a small horsey thing I'm sure she'd still appreciate it :o) xx

Answer 6

Really depends what she already have. The Breyer horse is a good idea, but, it also another horse to take care of, keeping it dusted. I think a nice Grooming Tray with some Brushes, Curry Comb and few other things within your price range be nice.

I not in the UK, but, I think this link is;

May be able to have them mail it to your friend.
Well, I looked to learn more. Most of what I clicked on is eBay.uk
I like this;

Answer 7

Try ,,

Country wide -*
and order a catalog go onto the website www.robinsons.co.uk

You can also order a catalog *
which might help you i am very horsey and have a pony i get most stuff from country wide or robinsons ** hope my answer helped ***


Maybe some chap's
or a saddle cloth ( they are quite light *)

Answer 8

They have these buckets that you can buy that are filled with items for your horse. You should look into those.....and I agree with the Halter idea.....you can never have to many halters.....um leather cleaner, horse treats, new grooming brushes, polo wraps, the list just keeps going on and on lol....here's a website that has horse tack and horse related items for people......they also have a gift shop that you may want to check out
www.horse.com

Answer 9

You could get her a personalized computor mouse mat. You can order them over the internet, you just need to down load a photo, maybe of you and your horse, or her favorite horse, and it will be printed onto a mouse mat. They are usually about £6-£7 so not expensive and light to post. She can then be reminded of you every time she uses her computor.

Answer 10

Here's a list of ideas on Liverystable.net's horse-talk forum. http://liverystable.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10

My pick would be order a matching halter and lead, engraved with her horse's name or stable name. You can order them from State Line Tack. Good luck!
