Not a horse person but have a horse-lover on the Christmas list?
If this is the case shopping can be confusing and you might be tempted to get just a gift card or something that your horse-lover might not truly enjoy. You can’t just buy a new blanket or saddle. You can’t just get it a new halter or supplement because you don’t know the horse’s size or the owner’s preferences. Most affordable items at a tack shop are things that can be hit or miss…supplements, dewormers, halters, polo wraps, etc. As a horse person I can share a few things with you that I would personally be excited to get. Hopefully this helps!

- Books
- The Man Who Listens to Horses by Monty Roberts – $13.80
- This was the first horse book I read when I was a kid and it made me a fan for life. I practiced his Join-Up method before I was a teenager on a quarter horse mare and it worked! This book should be in any horseman’s library.
- Is Your Horse 100% by Margret Henkels – $21.28
- This is a newer book and focuses on myofascial release therapy to help ease pain and tension in a horse. I have used this method on my own horse and met Margret Henkels in person. I believe any person and horse can benefit from this technique.
- For the Love of the Horse by Ann Jamieson – There are 4 volumes and you can pick this up at retail stores or follow the link to purchase directly. The current special will get you all 4 volumes for just $51.95
- The Man Who Listens to Horses by Monty Roberts – $13.80
I couldn’t find this on the other websites, but consider them as well:
- Grey Horse Candles – $17 – I have not had the pleasure of buying one for myself yet. I have seen these at a local tack shop and loved what I saw. The candles are soy based and made in Tennessee. The scents are geared toward the equestrian with options like sweet feed, high end saddle, and fresh cut hay.
- You can also purchase 3 for $46 or 4 for $6
I hope this helps and happy shopping!
