Gifts you make, places to go, or things to do.
These can be the very best, most remembered gifts of all. These can earn you a
"You Did GOOD! award.

| Get tickets to a good ol' Texas rodeo for an afternoon of riding, roping and barrel racing. | Take your horse lover on a carriage ride on a back road, in Central Park, or perhaps Spain. | Then of course there's always the ultimate gift - a beautiful horse! (of course) |
or if you have a story to tell about a "cool" gift you've given a horse lover,
you'll find an invitation to do so at the bottom of this page.
- a horse! (of course) - here are several resources where horses are for sale. However, the intent is primarily to "plant the seed" for a great gift idea. There are many places where you'll find good horses for sale but one of our links may help you get started.
- Tickets to a museum or exhibition featuring horses or horse art; visit the museum store or visit several
on-line museum stores for unique horse lover gifts.
- a rope halter - more specifically, 20' of rope and instructions for the do-it-yourself'er. (We respectfully suggest you know a bit about your horse lover before giving this for a gift.)
- Dinner and a (Horse) Movie: we can't tell you which restaurant, or when a good movie is coming to a theatre near you - you're on your own there; nevertheless a nice thought as a gift. Or, buy a DVD and make the dinner yourself! DVD recommendations? - Hidalgo or The Man From Snowy River are two good ones.
- Here's one that's a "bit off the beaten path".
If your horse lover is looking for something more than just a gentle ride along a trail, try a gift certificate for a
3 Day Saddle Bronc School
or, for another way to get a rush, a certificate for a 3 Day Clown/Bull Fighting School.
These lessons are available at approximately 25 cities throughout the US.
- Here are some cool ideas for the show ring (or for that matter the rodeo grounds). A selection of truly stunning items in custom western wear is a click away at
Connie Colvin's The Winner's Fit.
You'll discover a selection of custom shirts, jackets, and complete outfits that truly make a statement. No run-of-the mill gift ideas here!
- Tickets to Events, Horse Shows, Rodeos, or Clinics
- A Gift Membership in a leading Breed or Discipline Association or Society and/or a subscription to their magazine or Journal (e.g., the American Quarter Horse Association).
- horse fencing OK, bad gift idea - but if there's a need for new fencing looming on your horizon, this page would be worth a look. See what we did.
- A Trail Ride , be it a day trip or a horse vacation and pack trip into the wilderness (one of the greatest vacations we ever experienced!) - maybe even a Cattle Drive or Horse Drive or Roundup for a truly different experience.
- How about a "designed it myself" gift? Take a look at the Gift Shop Designs page to see how to go about giving a gift featuring a design of your own creation.
- Another "designed it myself" gift with a truly personal touch. A photo of your horse lover's favorite horse transferred to canvas, complete with brushstrokes. Take a trip to our Horse Art page to learn more about this novel idea.
- A Trip to a Ranch or Horse Farm
- A Carriage or Buggy Ride or a (sleigh ride in the winter!)
- Or you could build your horse lover a round pen of your own design (or use ours).

Then of course there's a year's supply of horse food.
- difficult to gift wrap!
