Let’s admit it, our horses mean more to us than all of Santa’s reindeer combined, and are more faithful than Rudolph himself. Am I right? Therefore, I know you don’t want to exclude them from your Christmas list.

To make it easier for you to shop, I’ve created a list of Christmas gifts just for horses. This way you can include something special for your faithful equine this Christmas.

Christmas gifts for horses

Christmas gifts for horses

from boredom busters to sweet treats

If you have a horse that gets bored easily, there are some great gift ideas to help keep them busy. Some horses are more playful than others, but most horses find feeders of any kind interesting.

I guarantee there is at least one Christmas gift on this list you can buy your horse.

Bonus: These won’t break the bank.

Hay Ball Feeder

The hay ball feeder is a ball that you can hang anywhere. Take some hay and stuff inside the ball and then watch your horse work to get the hay out. It can help beat boredom and acts as a slow feeder. Therefore, these are a great way to help keep your horse occupied, especially if they are in a stall. Comes in a two-pack and is priced at $19.99.

Pas-a-Fier Stall Toy

Some horses really like to lick or chew, and this toy is great for those types of horses. It has a rotating device that rolls as they lick and can massage their gums as well. They make these in the USA and with durable material. Also, they are apple scented to pique their interest. Priced at $38.77.

Jolly Ball

This is a toy ball that you can hang anywhere and is great for the playful, curious horse. Great for young horses who need stimulation and play. You can either give them to your horse in their pen- giving them the freedom to roll them around and play with them. These also come apple scented to pique their interest even more. Priced at $34.31.

Treats

Is your horse food motivated? Then treats are a great way to spoil your horse this holiday season. There is such a wide variety of treats available. I think that’s a great way to give them something out of the ordinary. In my search, I found flavors ranging from peppermint to butterscotch. It should be fun figuring out which flavors your horse enjoys the most. Below is a brand that was top-rated on Amazon.

Equine Scratcher

These are great for helping your horse find relief from insect bites and itchy spots that they can’t reach. You can mount these on a post or in their stall. We have something similar on a post they walk by frequently and I see them use it all the time- rubbing back and forth on it. Priced at $36.99.

Himalayan Salt Lick

Horses love salt and pink Himalayan salt is great for horses- so these might be a great gift idea. If you don’t already buy them Himalayan salt it’s a great way to mix up the salt choice you give them. These come on a rope and you can hang them directly in their stall. A two-pack is priced at $25

Horse Play Ball

At first glance this looks like an excercise ball I know, but they make the horse play ball of anti-burst material so it is safe for horses to play with. Also, they come in different sizes to suit even small horses. These are great to give them in the pen or paddock and let them play with them. Or you could do some desensitizing and spend some time playing with them yourself. Either way, I think your energetic type horse could have a lot of fun with these. These come in three different sizes. Their largest size is priced at $25.

Kong Equine

Maybe you’ve heard of Kong dog toys before. Well, they make horse toys too. This toy you can hang anywhere or leave it on the ground. You stick treats or carrots in the ring. Your horse will have enjoyment from trying to dig those delicious treats out. They are a bit more pricey compared to the other toys are this list, but they are very sturdy and will hold up. They have two options Standard and Heavy Duty. Price starting at $119.99.

You can check them out at the link below.

KONG<sup>®</sup> Equine Classic (12")

Something for each one in your herd

From young colts who need to expel extra energy to the older horse who need extra spoiling. My hope is, that you were able to find the perfect gift for your horse from this list.

    What a fun list! Thank you very much sharing it with your readers. I just started seeing photos of the equine kong toy online. I’ve been curious to see if any of my horses might find it amusing. It’s definitely on my own list of possible horse gifts this year.

    I don’t have a horse, but I was so excited when I saw your post because I hadn’t really thought about horse toys before. But I’m a firm believer in enrichment for dogs, so horses should have the same too! And I was delighted to see that some of the same brands we love for our dogs make horse toys too – such as Kong and Jolly Ball – both quality products.
    I’m sure any horse who receives some of these gifts for Christmas will be lucky indeed! Thanks for sharing these fabulous ideas.

It’s a GIRL!!! If you know me at all, then you It’s a GIRL!!!

If you know me at all, then you know how much I’ve always wanted a daughter, but sometimes life throws you a curveball. Our baby girl’s future is very much uncertain right now. During her 20 week ultrasound, we discovered she has something wrong with her heart and her brain. We aren't certain what exactly is wrong with the heart, but what they could tell is that it’s enlarged and has a hole in it. Part of her brain is also underdeveloped, the part that controls motor function. We had an amniocentesis done and we are waiting those results. It’s most likely a chromosome disorder I've been told. We don’t really know anything at this point, so I can’t really answer any questions. 
I do understand there’s a chance she may not make it to term. or she may born with some special needs or urgent care. I’m doing my best to focus on my blessings and give my fears to God. There is absolutely nothing else I can do. 

I had this picture planned in my mind before I found out, but I almost let this steal my joy. Then I decided that she deserves to be celebrated, no matter what. 
When we know more we will share an update, but at this point we just ask for prayers for our baby girl. God will be glorified, no matter the outcome. I share this because I know a lot of you care for us and would like to be praying, but I also want to share that if it wasn't for my faith, I wouldn't be able to face such challenges. If you are in a situation that feels overwhelming and it's too much to carry, then please put your trust in God. 
Thank you in advance for your prayers and support.

Peace I leave you, My peace I give to you; not as Peace I leave you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled; neither let it be afraid. John 14:27

The peace that comes from God is nothing like you can find or be given here on Earth. It doesn't fade, wear, or need to be put on. It's there, you can't lose it. But things are going to happen in life that you can't control and you still have to choose to give fears and worries to God continually and not let then overwhelm your heart.

I encourage you to find a qualified equine dentist I encourage you to find a qualified equine dentist rather than have your veterinarian float your horses teeth. An equine dentist has a variety of tools and therefore can do about 40% more to help your horse.

When circumstances make you feel afraid and out of When circumstances make you feel afraid and out of control, turn your attention away from the problem and onto our mighty God. It takes faith to reject self sufficiency, but the Lord honors those who depend on Him. - C. Stanley (taken from In Touch devotional)

Also, this has been something I actually had to work on with my horse. He doesn't natural relax and lower his head. Neither does he like his face messed with much. He's not head shy by any means because he likes his face brushed, but cradling his face was something different. A new level of comfort all the time is something I strive for with him.

I don't have any beautiful pictures of me and my k I don't have any beautiful pictures of me and my kids to share on mothers day. Life is so busy and crazy and no one is ever offering to take pictures of us together. Posing with them is out of the question. They would never hold still for that. But my boys are my world. They make me laugh all the time and their cuddles melt my heart. Life is hard but those moments make it all worth it.

She has two Clydesdales that she rides, works, and are family adored. I really admire her and the way she dotes on her 2,000 pound horses. If you are interested in draft horses or learning how useful a horse can actually be on a homestead then I think you'll find it pretty interesting.

We recently got new neighbors and it's pretty busy over there. Considering it used to be a retired couple, it's a big change. They are putting in a big RV business that will be an RV storage center with indoor and outdoor storage. So lots of new changes to the neighborhood and the county is even going to pave our road. I'm not super happy about it all, but what can you do? Well, other than move. Things never stay the same do they.

I got money from a few people for my birthday and I got money from a few people for my birthday and I pooled it all together, every dime, to buy this rawhide bosal hackamore. Just got to try it on him yesterday for the first time and I'm excited to work with him in it. If you know anything about these hackamores, then you'll know it doesn't fit right in this picture. I have it in a shaper right now trying to fix that. It shouldn't have those gaps. It's completely normal for it to need to be shaped when it's new. Anyway, I really like it.
