How to Find that Perfect Gift for the Horse Lover in Your Life

Let's face it - horse lovers can be very hard to buy for. There are simply not that many gifts on the market tailored to their specific breed or discipline. Wouldn't it be great if you could find, all in one place, a variety of gifts that would suit both western pleasure and hunt seat riders? What about draft horse and Arabian enthusiasts?

Well, the good news is that now you can. EquiGifts.com opened for business in 2008 and has steadily grown to offer over 200 different unique and custom gifts for horse lovers with thousands of variations and many designs to choose from. Many gifts can be personalized to make a truly unique gift that the horse lover in your life will treasure for a lifetime.

Do you need a gift for someone who loves reining horses? Reining gifts are EquiGifts' number one seller. They have an exclusive license plate frame that reads "CAUTION: Makes Sudden Stops," a play on the famous bumper stick often found on buses and service vehicles that also applies to the trademark sliding stop of the reiner. For a more exquisite gift, they offer a personalized leather rhinestone handbag with the artwork titled "+1 ½".

What about dressage enthusiasts? You can find clocks, watches, Italian charms and other products tailored specifically to your breed. Of note is the convenient travel mug with a dressage silhouette that will be sure to please any rider with a coffee addiction.

Are Arabians your breed of choice? An original painting of an Arabian in the light of dusk graces many products, including neoprene netbook cases and a business card holder that makes a tasteful gift for any professional acquaintance.

For all the Appaloosa lovers out there, do spots rock your world? EquiGifts offers quite a few selections for those that have an affinity for the spotted stock horse. Of special interest are the holiday ornaments and greeting cards bearing the pun "Appy Holidays".

And they didn't forget barrel racers or draft horse lovers, either. For those of you who like it fast, they offer colorful cell phone skins any can chaser will be sure to enjoy. Draft horse lovers can currently choose from those skins or one of a line of graceful ladies' Italian charm watches.

If you just love horses in general, there are several designs which would suit including the original print "Rhythm", a graceful colt that adorns many products as well as a variety of Italian charms.

What's really unique about EquiGifts is that each product is a print or design directly from resident artist, Jessica Friday. The prints are hand-signed and you can often find an original piece for sale. Where else can you order a product that's really a piece of wearable or useful equine art?

Many products can be personalized right on the product description page in a little text box, making the personalization process a quick and easy affair. Just remember to order at least three weeks in advance as each item is custom made at the time of your order, with most being hand made, and they can require around four weeks (up to six weeks during peak times) for delivery. But I'd say it's worth the wait to give a gift the recipient will never forget.
