Horsenista Christmas: The Last-Minute List

In a pinch? Here’s your fix.

Horsenista loves shopping like horses love eating. Here’s her list of last-minute gift ideas that can be found anywhere.

Barn Supplies

Think hay bags, buckets and snaps. Seriously, we can never have enough it seems.

Grooming Gear

You can now buy grooming sets of all colors and sizes in cute totes and grooming boxes. I love the Rhino SmartPak Kit and the Roma Star Grooming Set. Hit up any local tack store and Tractor Supply to make one of your own. Throw a bunch of brushes, hoof picks and detangler into a bucket — see above — and tie a ribbon around the top. Boom! One awesome barn present.

Happy Horse, Happy Human

One word: treats. Put a few different flavors into a bucket — yet again — and you have one happy couple.

Medicine Cabinet

Horses get hurt constantly. Once again fill a bucket to the brim with things like liniment, hoof conditioner, electrolyte paste, vet wrap and wound disinfectant.

Last but not least, donate.

A super simple online donation to an animal sanctuary or horsey cause is a great way to make a difference and pretend you didn’t just buy a friend’s gift after midnight on Christmas Eve. If anyone doesn’t know where to start, my favorite sanctuary is the Black Beauty Ranch, located in Texas.
