Gifts for Horse Lovers: Gift Ideas for Horse Fans

Looking for gifts for horse lovers? For many horse girls and horse fans, life revolves around horses: the stable, the riding school, their own horse or the neighbours' horse. A horse gift almost always goes down well. But what do you give someone who already has a room full of horse stuff?

In this article you'll read what to look for in a horse gift, what our tip is and which small ideas finish the gift off perfectly. For kids, teens and adults.

What makes a good gift for a horse lover?

Horse lovers often have a lot already: posters, books, riding clothes and stable gear. A good horse gift adds something they don't have yet. So look out for three things:

• It's personal. It shows you know how much horses mean to them.
• It gets used. Something that sits on the sofa or on the bed every day is worth more than something that disappears into a cupboard.
• You don't have to be an expert. Only pick riding gear if you know exactly what they use. When in doubt, choose something that always fits.

Something that sits on the sofa or on the bed every day is worth more than something that disappears into a cupboard.

Our tip: the Hugsback Horse

The Hugsback Horse is a soft plush horse with some weight to it. You can't ride it, but you can hold it every evening. That makes it a horse gift that most horse lovers don't have yet.

You can't ride it, but you can hold it every evening.

• 2 kg and approx. 45 cm. Big enough to really wrap your arms around.
• Filled with fine glass beads. The weight is spread across the whole body and feels like a calm, firm hug.
• Soft plush with a mane. A sweet horse head to snuggle up to.
• Ready to give. It comes in an orange gift tube with a horseshoe on it, including a certificate.
• No risk. You can return it free of charge within 30 days.

Many people use their Hugsback on the sofa, while reading or in bed. Curious how that works? Then read what a weighted stuffed animal is.

Horse gifts by age

For children from 3 years

Young children often love a big plush horse. A weighted stuffed animal is suitable from 3 years, as long as your child can lift it and put it away alone. Read more about a weighted stuffed animal for your child.

For horse girls and teens

A gift for a horse girl can be tough and sweet at the same time. A soft horse on the bed suits any room, even if she thinks she's "too old" for cuddly toys. Many teens find it nice to have something to hold after a busy day at school.

For adult horse lovers

Adults love a cuddle too, even if they don't always say so out loud. A soft horse is a lovely place to land on the sofa, after a long day at work or at the stable. See also a weighted stuffed animal for adults.
