Christmas Gifts Solved, by Saddle Up & Ride

Cosy hoodies, festive treats, trail essentials & more from our favourite tack shop

The Christmas countdown is officially on… and if you’ve got horsey friends (or you are the horsey friend), we’ve made gifting easy.

This festive season, we partnered with our favourite tack shop Saddle Up & Ride to bring you the perfect gift list: hand-picked to be genuinely useful, hard-wearing and fun – the kind of kit we’re happy to use on our own horses and hacks.

Here’s a little Christmas gift guide straight from the tack shop floor 👇

Cosy Clothing Gifts

Pampeano Polo Belt – Navidad or Sereno
A classic gift that never disappoints. Handmade in Argentina with vegetable-tanned leather and hand-stitched threadwork. A luxurious, meaningful present they’ll wear every day.

#horsebackisbetter Hoody
A super-soft, unisex winter essential, perfect for frosty yard mornings and dog walks. Riders love this one — it’s warm without being bulky and looks good with everything.

Winter Riding Gloves
Warm, grippy, waterproof, durable gloves are the ultimate practical gift. Choose from waterproof, fleece-lined or elegant leather styles.

Favourite Riding Pants
Give them the gift of comfort with the SuperFit Freerein Equipment riding tights: breathable, flexible and timeless, they’ll become their go-to riding pants throughout the year.

Treats & Fun Gifts

Colourful Hat Accessories
Brighten up dark winter rides with a bold pom-pom silk — fun, functional and always a hit.

Matching Belt & Dog Collar
Horse AND dog-owner? Offer them a matching set to twin with their 4-legged bestie with the Pampeano dog collar, matching the Pampeano belts.

For the Ultimate Organised Rider

Rider’s Grooming Bag
Roomy, durable and full of pockets — a brilliant “big gift” for someone who loves being organised at the yard.

Winter Riding Socks
Warm, breathable and long-lasting. Elite Christmas stocking material.

Hi-Viz Essentials
Neon vests, reflective hat bands, leg bands — thoughtful safety gifts for riders clocking up winter miles.

Big-Impact Gifts (for very lucky riders!)

Riding Hat or Body Protector
A thoughtful, genuinely useful gift — and you can try sizes in store. (We always help with fitting!)

Woof Wear Saddle Pad in a Pop Colour
Smart, soft and beautifully made. A gorgeous gift for any horse/rider duo.

Quality Headcollar
An elegant, long-lasting stable essential that always feels special under the tree. Check the best-selling Apollo Air cushioned one, padded and highly adjustable, or for that extra luxury, elegant touch, gift them a beautiful leather headcollar.

Not sure what they’ll love?

Available in multiple values, redeemable online or in store. Perfect when you want the gift to be exactly right.
