Apologies! But - horsey gift for £50 for has-it-all-horse woman?

[Keen]

I need to brain storm a good gift of a horsey-nature for someone who probably has all the kit (she certainly has the horses/yard).

Do you good folk have any suggestions please?

What have you received that you really liked/was helpful?

Many thanks!

(In general, her stuff is good, extremely well maintained, but well used and not new, if that helps to bring anything to mind).

From your description perhaps not something this person would buy themselves but really lovely to have.

Nice picture of her horse in a lovely frame? Or maybe printed on canvas?

 

[Keen]

Excellent ideas! Thanks folks! She is approaching 50 yo.

ChristmasStar - will pm, thank you!

I like the idea of gloves too ... will have an explore! Had thought of a portrait/photo, but might be difficult for me to get photo - she lives miles away ... will see.

Really, many thanks! You've got me thinking

Are vouchers not an option? For Robinsons/Saddlery Shop or similar?

Gloves are a good idea, but without knowing the size, could be tricky!

my oh got me a beautiful pair of chrome and marcasite bridle rosettes for my butch highland from www.jennycob.com. They were only £30 and now two are the same which I think is nice.

Plenty of good artists that are members on here, perhaps they would do a small painting/drawing etc of one of your friends horses?

These are lovely and a really innovative idea for a gift.

These are lovely and a really innovative idea for a gift.

They were lovely to deal with too. I didn't like anything on the web site, being very particular. I had my heart set on maracasite leaves mounted on chrome for just a tiny bit of bling. They had a rummage through what they had and gave me a choice of about six different designs. I think they are a new company and they deserve to do well.

I cant see where your from but how about a rider analysis from centaur biomechanics? http://www.facebook.com/index.php?l...F8zg#!/profile.php?id=100000641502439&sk=wall

 

[Keen]

Oooo! Lots more lovely ideas! Thank you. I think I have settled on an idea now - won't say anymore in case she is a forum member!

But I hope these links also help other people stuck for gifts!


Thanks again folks!

it is unlucky to give gloves as a present. it is a sign of parting .... god i am so supersticious! and that spelling doesnt look right either.....

 

[Goldenstar]

I love the stuff on the Jennycob web site.
