Thoughtful Holiday Gifts for the Equestrian in Your Life

The holiday season is galloping toward us, and if you’re searching for the perfect gift for the equestrian in your life—or just treating yourself (you deserve it!)—we’ve got you covered.

Whether you're shopping for an experienced rider, a casual horse enthusiast, or someone who just adores equestrian style, our curated list of gifts under $100 is sure to inspire.

And don’t worry, even if you don’t know a hoof pick from a horse blanket, we’ll make this gifting adventure a smooth ride.

1. A Touch of Personalization

There’s nothing like a customized gift to show someone you truly care. Items like monogrammed saddle covers, saddle pads, embroidered stall guards, or personalized grooming totes make practical and thoughtful gifts that riders will use every day. Check out our Equestrian Holiday Gift Guide for options that add a personal touch without breaking the bank.

2. Cozy Comfort for Cold Rides

Winter rides can be magical, but they can also be chilly. Help the equestrian in your life stay warm with stylish yet functional gifts like the Vermont Pom Toque or a cozy Hearth Scarf. These items not only keep riders warm but add a touch of equestrian elegance to any outfit. Plus, they’re versatile enough for non-equestrian wear too!

3. Gifts for the Horse, Too

Let’s not forget the real VIP of the barn—our beloved four-legged companions! Show your horse some holiday love with gifts that are both practical and luxurious. From stylish exercise sheets to cozy coolers, elegant dress sheets, and protective ear bonnets, there’s something special for every horse in your life.

• Exercise Sheets: Perfect for keeping your horse warm during winter rides or while warming up at competitions.
• Coolers: Help your horse stay comfortable post-ride by wicking away moisture and keeping them snug.
• Dress Sheets: The ultimate in equestrian elegance, ideal for special occasions or shows.
• Ear Bonnets: A must-have for protecting your horse’s ears from bugs or adding a touch of style to their look.

Browse our rideeverystride.com to find these and more equine-approved favourites. Whether you’re shopping for your own horse or a friend’s, these thoughtful gifts are guaranteed to bring comfort and style to the barn.

4. Scents That Saddle Up the Holidays

For the equestrian who loves the smell of fresh hay and leather (but not the mucking out), the new RES soy candles are the perfect gift. These hand-poured, all-natural soy candles are designed to bring the essence of the stable into your home with sophisticated scents like Equestrian Cashmere, featuring notes of soft amber, musk, and sandalwood, and Tack Room, a delightful blend of warm leather and cedarwood.

Whether you’re shopping for a rider or simply someone who appreciates cozy, barn-inspired aromas, these candles make a thoughtful gift that will keep the holidays smelling wonderful. Shop these fragrant favourites here and here.

5. Practical Yet Chic

Equestrians are always on the go, which means practical gifts are always appreciated. A mesh storage bag for sweaty gear, a Wellington water bottle for hydration at the barn, or a sturdy yet stylish Essential Ring Tote are all fantastic options. Not only are these gifts functional, but they’ll also have your loved one thinking of you every time they’re used.

6. Equestrian Home Décor

For the equestrian who loves to bring their passion into their home, items like custom throw pillows or a designer stocking are thoughtful gifts that merge functionality with a love of horses. Plus, these décor items are subtle enough to blend with any style, from rustic farmhouse to modern chic.

7. Stocking Stuffers and Small Surprises

If you’re looking for budget-friendly options or smaller items to slip into a stocking, consider a pair of custom wine glasses, a handy bamboo coaster set, or even a simple customized brush set. These little gifts pack a big punch when it comes to utility and thoughtfulness.
