Your horse trainer is a very important person in your life who mentors you and puts up with a lot over the course of a year. At Christmastime, it's a nice gesture of appreciation to gift them something meaningful they will love. But when they have a lot of different clients who are all giving them something, it might be hard to be original when everyone is shopping at the same local tack shop! At The Painting Pony, we cater to custom and personalized unique gifts any horse lover will enjoy, and that includes your horse trainer. Because we don't mass-produce our products and they are made one at a time for each customer, we can make sure your order is made just the way you want, so you can be the perfect gift-giver every time. Here is a list of some great gift idea suggestions for your horse trainer we think they will enjoy (and really any horse professional like your farrier or vet too for that matter).
There is a limited supply of these wonderful seasonally scented soy candles. They are made in the USA and smell AMAZING. They look beautiful too, with original equestrian artwork printed on the label from The Painting Pony.
2. Flour Sack Horse Tea Towels
Stylish for the home or in the barn tack room or bathroom, these tea towels are absorbent and useful while looking attractive. Printed with fun artwork and designs, they are useful and beautiful at the same time. Some designs can be personalized too for a thoughtful touch.
When paired with your favorite bottle of wine, these fun horse themed totes wrap the gift for you. Just add a bow and gift tag and you're good to go with a gift that anyone would love.
4. Personalized Holiday Ornament
Who doesn't love something custom-made? These adorable ceramic ornaments are printed with a customize image that looks just like your horse. Your horse trainer will enjoy hanging these cute holiday ornaments on their tree every year.
If you want to give something useful, these stainless steel travel tumblers are just the thing. They are perfect to use on all of those early horse show mornings and your trainer will appreciate this gift while drinking their coffee on the go.
6. Personalized Horse Stationery
Snail mail is chic and fun with these personalized note cards from The Painting Pony. Custom-made with your own name, monogram, or initials, these card sets make great gifts for your horse trainer and tells them that "I thought enough of you to think ahead and order this in time to have it ready for Christmas giving!"
It's wintertime. That means it's probably cold and your trainer spends a lot of time outside, so they might appreciate a hat to help keep them warm. These hats are custom-made in the color and thread you choose. Order one in your trainer's barn colors for an extra-special touch.
8. Sherpa Throw
If you really want a gift that will make an impression, a warm sherpa throw is not only beautiful, but they are wonderful on cold days after a long day at the barn. Your horse trainer can snuggle-up on the couch with a hot cup of cocoa and a sherpa to unwind in the evening.
9. Custom Portrait of their Horse or Dog or other animal
This may not work for Christmas with short timelines as they take more time to make, but a custom pet portrait is ALWAYS a good idea.
10. Horse Lover Accessory Pouch
These great clutch style bags are so useful and fun. You can use them for anything from make-up bags, hair accessories, to keeping spurs and small items organized in your tack trunk at the barn and at horse shows. If you fill these pouches with chocolate, or maybe a zip-lock bag filled with home-made cookies, or even horse treats tucked inside, they will definitely be a well-received gift for any horse lover.
