As we wrap up 2022, now is the time to slow things down a bit and focus on our friends and family while we look back over the past year.
I love this time of year. Spending time with my family and friends takes over as the most important time for me as the holidays approach.
It’s also a time to show our appreciation and share some love with the people in our lives. And if you are wondering what to give to your favorite horse person, I’ve got you covered!
I want to share with you some of my favorite tried and true, and tested gift worthy items that would be perfect for any equestrian this holiday season. And because I am the Budget Equestrian, my recommendations are in the more affordable price range. Which is challenging to do with anything regarded as horse related.

If you have horses, you know how cold your hands can get during the winter. When the temperatures drop, it’s time to bust out the heavy duty warming equipment.
