Budding Romance - Help Desperately Needed.

[Sparklet]

I need help.

A friend of mine came to visit a few weeks ago and fell head over heels for a lady at our farm. He is visiting again before Christmas and actually coming to stay with me at Christmas so he can progress his romance.

He wants to buy her a Christmas present which must be 'personal' as well as 'horsey' however, doesnt want to overdo the expense because it will be too much at this stage of the relationship.

She is 45 and has an older horse which she took over from her daughter when her daughter got a racier model. She is a happy hacker type, not over confident but enjoying herself. Horse is a gelding......

Come on.....ideas please....please.

How about something like a nice leather headcollar or just a new smart webbing headcollar and rope?

 

[Lyndz]

Some kind of saddlebag or seat saver? Might show he cares, but is also practical!

 

[GinGin]

A name plaque for the horses stable door?

 

[devilinajar]

OOOO hoe about one of the new Newmarket head collers. They look well smart and only cost about £15, so not too expensive!!!!!!!!!

 

[kombikids]

something embriodered or named? a riding lesson for himself so he can join her on a ride as a surprise!

 

[Sparklet]

Wow....keep the ideas coming....some great ones so far. I will mail them all to him so he can decide what he feels is the best thing. Love the idea of a plaque for the door (brass one maybe) or headcollar, even get a brass thing for the headcollar.

Well he sounds as though he is on the right track - get a pressy for the horse not the lady! The way to a woman's heart.

I quite like the Painted Ponies....what do others think?

How about a saddle cloth with the horses name embroidered on it? they always look lovely?
Or if he got a leather head collar, you can get them ith the brass plates on the side and could get it engraved with the horses name or something?
the door plaque is also a nice idea!

I'm loving the door plaque idea. perfect amount of sentiment & not too expensive.
