If you have an equestrian in your life, you’ll know how much we love to buy things for our horse, but buying things for ourselves…?! That’s not so easy.

Take the mystery out of your shopping with my handy gift ideas!

7. Equestrian Performance Assessment

Equimotion

Equestrians love to have the vet, chiro or physio out to see their horse as soon as we sniff something wrong. But having an assessment for ourselves? Sometimes that needs outside intervention (aka a gift) to kick us into gear.

Enter the team of horse and human physiotherapists from Equimotion, specialising in performance solutions for the horse and rider, in the saddle and on the ground.

8. Custom crocheted horse

10. Equine photography & prints

Half Steps Photography

Well I wouldn’t be very genuine if I didn’t include this in here!

I believe memories are a gift which lasts a lifetime. But many equestrians find it hard to take a leap and say ‘yes, where we are now is enough and I’m happy to celebrate that’. So often we find ourselves waiting for the right moment, but when it comes, we’re then chasing the next.

You can tell the equestrian in your life that where they are now is worth celebrating, worth immortalising forever via a voucher for a photo session.

I know from this year when I bought my best friend a voucher for a photography session, that I struggled to find a photographer who offered a full service experience, including guidance and prints, but also who ensured that my friend could walk away with at least one memory if she didn’t want to spend any more.

For that reason, I’ve made two types of vouchers.

One:

A pre-made voucher collection, which includes a thirty minute session, thirty minutes of travel each way, one memory to keep and a $50 print credit, priced at $290. This is perfect for the equestrian who think would love this and will probably want to cover their home in beautiful prints, but you’re not 100% sure.

Two:

A voucher for any amount which can be put towards an equine photography session. This is perfect for the friend who you’ve heard say they’d love to get an equine photography session, but hasn’t made that leap yet.

To secure your voucher, get in touch below.
