Shopping for that perfect gift for someone who simply loves horses can be a challenge. Finding the right gift for the child can include something as simple as the gift of riding lessons. Look for local listings at your community tack shop, call and ask for referrals. Meet the trainer at your training center and watch a lesson. See how they respond to the horse and the person they are giving the lesson to. You don’t want someone who has no interest or patience with your child and your horse. They must give their full attention to the student at all times! You can even go to a horse show and watch the trainers perform, go behind the scenes, hang out in the stable where the horses are kept, and watch.

Many personality prints can be a revelation. A good trainer should start the beginner at ground level, which means safety comes first. Teaching a child how to brush, tack, and safely operate around a standing horse is the best way to start. Another great gift to go along with this is a helmet. I cannot stress enough the importance of a properly fitting helmet, many serious head injuries can be avoided. Even when a child is just doing field work with a horse, like brushing it, removing hooves, grooming it, etc. a helmet can be a good safety precaution. Horse tack must also be of the correct type according to the type of riding a person wishes to do, whether English or Western. Some horses can only be ridden in English and others can be ridden both ways.

Remember that good riding skills do not come overnight, be patient and you will become a perfect rider. Be sure to purchase a horse for the type of riding you plan to do. Don’t buy any horse without a qualified vet check, this can save you money in the long run. Horse insurance is also always recommended. Tack accessories, saddles, pads, horse blankets, bridles, bridles, riding outfits, boots, jewelry, collectibles, fine art, books, training videos, They are good gift ideas for both children and adults. Of course, a horse would also make the perfect gift for anyone!
