Gifts for Her: Holiday Gifts for Women Riders

Show day, schooling, the coldest barn mornings — eight gift edits built around what she loves to do, each one a matching colorway from LeMieux, RJ Classics, Shires Aubrion, Equinavia and Kerrits. Premium Brands for Less for Mom, your grown daughter, your partner or her trainer.

Buying TipLook in her tack trunk before you shop. Riders often stick to one colorway for their own clothes and their horse's pads and halters, so a piece that matches what she already has is a gift she'll use every ride. For a helmet, give an e-Gift Card instead — helmet fit depends on the shape of her head.

✦ The Gifts for Her Edit ✦

Eight edits, numbered below. Each starts with something she does every week and is built from one brand's matching colorway, so you can pick one piece or put three together without a second thought.

What Riders Say

On a Kerrits reversible jacket
“I get so many compliments on this whenever I wear it. It looks good with jeans and breeches. It is warm and is cute with either side out. The cut is a little shorter, which is great for me, as I am very short. Since it is Kerrits you know it is well made and will last forever!”
Rider review · 2026
On a show-day tote
“I was looking for a tote to carry supplies in for horse shows where the competition ring is a long walk from the trailer. This one is perfect! Lightweight with enough compartments for a helmet, gloves, brushes, water bottles, fly spray, and other assorted items that we need. And it comes in colors so we could match our other supplies. It seems sturdy and well-made.”
Rider review · 2026
On the Kerrits Double Up Vest
“Two vests in one? Yes, please! This Kerrits Double Up Vest is my pick for the season for its versatile design that looks just as good with breeches as it does with jeans. Also, being a short torso girly, I love the crop length which hits just at my waist, making it super flattering!”
Rider review · 2025
On what she really wants
“I’d love a tack store gift card actually. Stuff with horses on it not so much!”

Gifts for Women Riders: Questions We Hear

What do you buy a woman who rides horses?

Start with something she uses every week: a show shirt or show coat if she competes, schooling breeches and a base layer if she rides most days, a warm waterproof coat for winter, or a saddle pad for her horse in her colors. Many riders keep a wish list with exact brands and models, so it’s worth asking her trainer or a barn friend.

How do I buy riding clothes if I don’t know her size?

Check the size label inside the breeches and coat she wears most, then read the brand’s own size chart on the product page. If you can’t get a look, choose a gift where fit matters less — a hat silk, socks, a bag or a saddle pad — or give an e-Gift Card.

Is a riding helmet a good surprise gift?

A helmet is a wonderful gift, but not as a surprise. Helmet fit depends on the shape of her head, so give an e-Gift Card and let her choose the one that fits.

What are barn colors?

Barn colors are the color pair a rider or barn uses for saddle pads, blankets and gear. Burgundy with navy and burgundy with hunter green are classic pairs, and her horse’s colors may differ from her own — so look at her tack trunk before you choose.
