It’s hard to buy gifts for horse lovers because- let’s be honest- it’s hard to compete with a horse.
Even if you’re the world’s greatest gift-giver, you’re going to have a hard time finding gifts for horse lovers in your life. All you can really do is try your best to give these people something that is useful or interesting to them.
What’s useful and interesting to horse lovers? Horse related stuff!

There are a number of equestrian publications that go for as cheap as $15 a year. A magazine will keep your loved ones up to date on the topics they love. Magazines also provide a lot of great updates on gear, research, and rider-culture.
Jewelry is a good gift for nearly anyone in your life. Luckily, many of the everyday objects that horse lovers use can be reworked into surprisingly beautiful jewelry.
Things like horseshoes, spurs, cowboy boots, and more look really great when made out of silver or gold and turned into little earrings or pendants. There are so many options out there that it won’t be difficult to find personalized jewelry.
Ask a friend or riding partner of your intended “giftee” for their sizing and style preferences. If you ride with the person, you’ll have a lot better insight.
Leather riding boots can get expensive but they are excellent and meaningful gifts. You don’t have to go too crazy with your gifts for horse lovers either- a simple sweater or winter riding jacket will be much appreciated.
This could mean anything from a coffee table book with images of horses, to an in-depth analysis of rider culture. Depending on the individual your buying the gift for, judge what kind of book they would actually enjoy reading.
There are many instructional books out there, as well as general equestrian history, racing facts, horse anatomy, and more.
The amount of horse artwork out there is ridiculous. From sculptures to paintings, you’ll be hard-pressed to decide on which piece you want to give to your horse loving friend.
Horse artwork ranges from classic western-themed imagery, to more abstract conceptual work. An extremely common idea, and excellent gift, is a coffee table horse-sculpture.
