Amazing Christmas Presents for an Equestrian
It is getting close to the big day and I have compiled a list of things that make great christmas presents! If you are wondering what to get your equestrian friend then these are bound to help you decide! Have a look at this list!
HRP Wing Saddle Pad
The HRP wing saddle pad is the only one of its kind. Helen Ross the founder of HRP Equestrian designed the saddle pad herself. Research was conducted at Hartpury University to compare the Wing saddle pad design versus the normal conventional square saddle pad. The research found that the HRP Wing saddle pad did not exert any pressure behind the saddle on the spinous processes but the square conventional saddle pad did. They are an amazing design and I swear by them, especially with my mares and my most sensitve horses. I will always recommend these saddle pads over and over again!
APF Pro
APF Pro is an amazing supplement that both my horses and myself have used for years. It helps with immune support, gastric support, muscle building, and supports a healthy cellular metabolism. My horses are always on it and I never take them off it! It helps with travel and overall fatigue with horses and humans and I cannot recommend it enough!
Neue Schule Bit or Bit Trial
I am in love with my Neue Schule Bits. My horses go in the turtle top snaffle and the turtle tactio snaffle as well as their turtle tactio universal bit. They are incredible at helping you find out which bit is right for each individual horse as well as for the eventers each individual phase.
C4 Custom Belt
These belts are a super fun gift that you can customise but that also gives back to a charity of your choice! They are waterproof and adjustable in size! I love my C4 belts and highly recommend!
Leroy and Bongo Planner
I am a big planner and I love to write things down and have a hard copy of things as well as an online diary. This planner is perfect for planning your competition season prep as well as your competition season. It has goal sections, as well as sections to keep tract of your farrier, dentist, physio and vet visits. I find it super useful in planning my competition schedule and it is a great asset to have.
Custom Flair nasal strips
Flair Nasal strips help performance horses breathe easier during intense exercise. You can customise them so if you have a eventer friend that loves custom gifts and ones that they can use for their competition season these are it!
Pure Feed Company Treats
The horses love these treats and they make a great stocking stuffer! They are easily digestible and all natural as well!
Frilly Fillies Ear Bonnet
These bonnets are stunning! You can fully customize them to whatever color and size you want! My horses look stunning in them! They are easy to wash and maintain as well. If you have a friend who has been looking at bonnets then these are the ones to check out!
Majyk Equipe Boots
Majyk Equipe are an amazing company based in California. They have created a great line of dressage, show jump and cross country boots! I have a set of each I have to admit… If you haven’t watched their video of placing a wine bottle in one of there cross country boots and dropping a brick on it. Then go ahead and watch it as it proves just how amazing these cross country boots are. These boots are amazing and come in a great range of sizes and colors! These are a great surprise gift!
Back On Track mesh sheet
If you haven’t tried any of the Back On Track products for human, horse or dog. I highly recommend them! I use their knee brace and fleece blanket loads. My horses absolutely love their mesh sheets. They help with circulation and to keep their muscles nice and warm. I swear by them!
Mountain Horse Sovereign Boots
I have never had a boot that I have been able to put on straight out of the box and ride straight away. I was able to ride my four horses off the bat in these boots and they didn’t give me ANY rubs! They are also one of the few boots to last me and not have the zipper bust in the first 6-12 months. These boots also fit so well. I have struggled for years to get a boot that fits my wide and short calves properly… These are the first that I haven’t had any fit issues! If you are looking to treat someone or aren’t sure about what you want to put on your christmas list. Take a look at these!
Rock Tape: Human and Equine
I use Rocktape all the time on myself and my horses. It is great at helping with inflammation and giving support. I use it to help support my ankle and knee when riding. The horses get it to help with their back and glutes. It is a great gift for any rider or athlete! I use this stuff so much and will always recommend it!
Ice Equestrian Browband or Bridle
Ice Equestrian is an amazing company with an incredible range of products. Their browbands are stunning and they have a beautiful range of bridles. I love all of my bridles and browbands from Ice and they make my horses look stunning! If you have any special equestrian friends looking to bling out their tack check out this amazing company!
Cryochaps
These are really cool ice boots that have scientific research behind them! They wrap around the leg and I love that you can mould them and tighten them to the leg. They also stay cold for ages and do not take long to freeze! They are great to chuck in a cool box and take with you to a cross country schooling or show jumping competition.
UHIP riding coat
I got one of these coats as an early christmas gift and I am absolutely in love! It is one of the best coats to ride in. It keeps me warm and dry the whole time. I don’t want to take it off when I am on the yard! I seriously urge you to check out these coats if you have a friend that has been struggling with the winter cold on the yard and while riding. I no longer will be!
