Where would we be without our trainers? Most of us can probably admit we certainly wouldn’t be accomplishing anything in the show ring or even along our peaceful trail rides without our trainers’ professional guidance. Our trainers give us everything – from joy in victory to comfort in defeat, and now it’s our turn to give back to them! So, we made a list and checked it twice for some gift ideas to show your appreciation for your horse trainers this holiday season.
5 Trainer Essentials Under $50
1. Liquid Titanium Ear Plugs
These comfortable earplugs from Fenwick Equestrian do more than help horses focus by drowning out distracting noises. The earplugs produce negative ions and Far Infrared Rays that penetrate the horse’s body, resulting in a calming effect. This is a helpful tool to add to any trainer’s collection!
2. Kunkle Show Gloves
A staple for any trainer, Kunkle Equestrian’s Show Gloves offer a sleek, secure feel that stands up to long days in the saddle. Lightweight, grippy, and designed for a close-contact fit, these gloves help riders maintain precision without sacrificing comfort. Durable enough for everyday rides yet polished enough for the show pen, they’re a must-have addition to any trainer’s gear bag.
3. FarmVet Yeti 20oz Rambler
The perfect horse show (or barn) sidekick for your trainer! With this 20oz Yeti, they can keep their drinks hot or cold throughout the duration of lessons and long days at the barn. There’s no such thing as too much coffee in the horse world!
4. The Infused Equestrian Roller Blends
Our trainers are faced with many stresses throughout their days (or nights), whether on the road or at home. These therapeutic blends can help! With a range of options available, the blends can help promote focus, aid recovery, provide stomach relief, and rejuvenate the body and mind.
5. EquiVisor® Jute Helmet Visor
A good part of a trainer’s day is spent outdoors… in the sun. This visor provides sun protection in a stylish visor with a secure fit. It can be worn over a helmet or on its own, so they can wear it while riding or coaching from the ground!
5 Gift Worthy Ideas Under $150
1. Handy Holsters
Not only are your trainer’s hands full with taking care of you and your horse, but they are constantly being pulled in all different directions. The Horse Holster will help them easily keep their most essential things with them throughout the chaos of the day, both in the ring or on the ground. It is available in black or brown premium leather and can be worn in a few different versatile ways.
2. SURE FOOT Equine Balance Pads
A favorite among trainers, SURE FOOT Balance Pads offer an easy, effective way to help horses release tension, improve posture, and gain stability. Whether used before a training session or as part of a rehabilitation routine, these pads encourage horses to engage stabilizing muscles and reset both body and mind. They’re a thoughtful gift that supports any trainer’s program from the ground up.
3. Elite Pro Grooming Bag
The LeMieux Elite Pro Grooming Bag makes a thoughtful gift for any equestrian who loves to stay stylish and organized at the barn. Crafted with durable materials and plenty of storage space, it’s perfect for keeping grooming essentials neat and ready for any show or stable day.
4. Liquid Titanium Therapeutic Mask
This therapeutic mask from Fenwick Equestrian produces calming effects for horses in a natural way. Negative ions and far infrared rays stimulate blood flow, creating a calming effect and helping horses focus. It just might help your trainer’s day get a little bit easier!
5. Professional’s Choice Ice Boot
If there’s anything a trainer looks for in their therapy products, it’s effectiveness and efficiency. This ice boot offers both! It doesn’t require any additional ice or ice packs, but stays moldable even when frozen for easy and effective use.
