christmas gifts for lovely horse?

[cobbycobgirl]

Hi
the horse I am loaning is a sweetheart, I have already thought of amazing gifts for his owners but what do I get a horse for christmas?
would it be insulting to the owners if I got him a boredom buster type of toy?
Thanks in advance

Some of those eye wateringly expensive treats sold in the saddlery. All horses like treats and at Christmas we all know just like human treats they don’t have any additional calories in them.

Most horses seem to like those hay blocks with herbs in them. Good quality grooming brushes are nice for you and your horse too.

I usually string up some carrots, apples, swede etc on a piece of baler twine for my two at Christmas. Cheap, easy to do and not the massive amounts of sugar found in commercial treats. They love them and it keeps them busy for all of 10 minutes.

I seen stud muffins are doing advent calendars which could be a nice idea for owners and horse. Haas brushes are also lovely as a gift for both horse and owner, bit expensive but worth every penny.
