Gifts for the Horse and Pony
Barn colors for the horse, the prettiest colors for her pony.
A gift for the horse is a gift for the rider too. Four edits in classic barn colors, from navy and burgundy to black for the dressage barn, stall toys to keep him busy, and three in the prettiest colors for ponies: pink, purple and pale blue. Coolers, saddle pads, halters, ear nets and wraps from Equinavia, Horseware, Weatherbeeta, Horze, Shires and more. Premium Brands for Less.
Buying TipAsk about barn colors. Many show barns pick a color or two for their saddle pads, coolers and stall drapes, and a gift in those colors always fits in. For coolers and boots, check the horse’s size first; ear nets, lead ropes and grooming bags are the easy picks.

“I think I would really like something for my horse, maybe a PHT halter or some bot stuff, if they have anything under $50”
“Personalize lead rope or lunge line. These are fabulous and super handy!”

Gifts for the Horse and Pony: Questions We Hear
What are barn colors?
Barn colors are the colors a barn uses on its saddle pads, coolers, stall drapes and team jackets. Classic pairs are navy and burgundy, burgundy and hunter green, and navy and hunter green. Many dressage barns use black with one accent color. A gift in the barn’s colors always fits in.
What is a good gift for a horse?
Gifts the horse wears every day are the safest bet: a cooler, a saddle pad, a halter and lead rope, an ear net or polo wraps. Treats and stall toys are easy add-ons for any horse.
How do I pick the right size for a horse or pony?
Check the size on the saddle pad, halter or cooler the horse wears now, then read the brand’s size chart on the product page. Pony sizes are listed in the product name or the size options. If you’re unsure, an ear net, lead rope or grooming bag is an easy pick.
What colors look good on a pony?
Pink, purple and pale blue are favorites for ponies, and many young riders like to match their own riding clothes to their pony. If the pony lives at a show barn, ask about the barn colors first.
