"British" horsey gift ideas?

[Annagain]

My sharer is from NZ and wants to send a horsey friend back home a "British" gift for her Birthday. She's asked me for ideas and I'm stumped as I don't really do horsey "gifts", I just buy necessities and I'm also not sure of what we have here that isn't available in NZ.

The only thing I can think of is a Joules Mary King polo shirt. Any other thoughts please?

I think that despite being Irish, the Horsewear Newmarket range in gold, red and black has a very British look about it.

Something from the John Whitaker range?

Having talked to my sharer it seems the eventers are better known in NZ that the show jumpers so I think Mary King would be better but thanks for the thought.

I did ask whether they have the Mark Todd stuff out there and apparently they do but not as big a range as over here!

Something tweed!

Otherwise Joules polos are nice, as you've suggested yourself

How about something from Barbour (sorry if spelt wrong) They have some really lovely jackets.

Theres a nice company called the tweed boutique who do some really nice tweed headbands?

I recently sent a foreign friend of mine something horsey and British for Christmas, I chose a Tweed headband from;

Plus I got her the 60 Years of Badminton DVD from Equestrian Vision, only problem with that was she had to go out and buy a region free DVD player;

That's a great idea, especially with NZ heading for winter. Thanks both

Head warmer from Annabel Brocks - same as Charlotte Dujardin wears, some lovely ones with tweed & faux fur lining.

Agree - something tweed! Or...something (a book maybe?) on British Native breeds??

ETA we took a friends daughter (who was visiting from SA) to NPS 25 summer show last year and she was amazed at the variety of breeds! She has gone back to SA looking at ways of getting a Dales or a Highland over there to live with her TBs!

My sharer wants to take a nice athletic type Sec D stallion back with her. I think my Welsh ways are rubbing off on her
