Stumped on that perfect gift for the horse lover in your life? Well then you’ll want to keep an eye out for our upcoming blog posts, because we have three posts dedicated to great gift-giving ideas for riders. We’ve even sorted the gifts by cost, so you can get great ideas no matter what your budget. Today’s post features stocking stuffer ideas that you can buy for under $20.

Warm Riding Gloves

Nothing is better in the winter than a good, quality pair of warm riding gloves. Even if a rider already has a pair of gloves, they will probably welcome a second pair, since gloves get worn out, torn, or wet.

Horse Treats

Horse treats are always a welcome gift. Be sure to consider whether the horse has any dietary restrictions, such as needing to minimize the amount of sugar ingested with Cushing’s. There are many recipes for homemade horse treats available which allow you to put your own personal touch on the gift.

Hand Lotion

Dry, chapped hands plague many riders in winter. Hand lotion makes a great gift. Opt for a quality lotion that doesn’t leave behind a greasy residue. While it can be fun to splurge on scented lotions, make sure that the recipient isn’t sensitive to scents if you choose to go this route.

Hand Warmers

Hand warmers, reusable or disposable, can make great stocking stuffers. You can find them cheaply at discount stores, or can go for a slightly more expensive gift by purchasing reusable hand warmers. If you buy hand warmers, consider getting foot warmers to complete the gift.

Warm Socks

When riders spend long hours in the barn during the winter, frozen toes become a problem. Any rider will be grateful for super warm socks, whether for use with tall boots or just for general wear in the barn.

Liniment

If a rider uses liniment on their horse, they can always use more. It gets pricey to buy liniment repeatedly, so a bottle of liniment as a stocking stuffer makes a great gift.

Human Muscle Rub

Riders get sore muscles, too – human muscle rub will likely be appreciated, especially if paired with liniment for equine use.

Pocket Knife

It might seem like an odd gift, but a pocket knife or Swiss Army knife can be a perfect stocking stuffer for an equestrian. Knives are handy to have around a barn for many purposes, including cutting baling twine and duct tape.
