What gift would you give to a new horse owner?

[Feathered]

Paulag - Thanks for the Spibelt tip off, that is just sort of thing I have been after.

Off to order one now! Thanks!

 

[Oberon]

A head torch and a camping water container for rushed winter mornings.

 

[Miss L Toe]

A laundry basket (or some such container) for the boot of their car to keep all the horsey things together and to keep the dirty things away from non horsey things.

An estate car to do this job plus vouchers for valetting and car wash.

 

[ribbons]

No spare money for gifts so, nothing except to say " welcome to my world "

 

[MrsMozartletoe]

The gift of hindsight

 

[MrsMozartletoe]

And a love of mud and all things being brown (no matter what colour they started off...).

 

[Kat]

Hand cream, lipsalve, and a headtorch

 

[PolarSkye]

Two things: a sense of humour and an ability to put things into perspective. Owning a horse can be quite an emotional rollercoaster .

[hoggedmane]

A book on how to hypnotise the OH.

Then learn these phrases to use while hypnotising him/her

'The horse does not cost very much money'
'I have only been at the yard for a few minutes'
'The hair in the washing machine cannot have come from the horse'
'I think we need more horses/ horsey stuff'
'yard DIY is much more important than anything you want to do'

Or the number for a really fit farrier? ;-) Oh, and steel toes...

To replace the real ones turned into mini spatulas? I can see the presentation case...

 

[WestCoast]

Ffionwinnie, feathered - you're welcome. I kept meaning to mention the Spibelt here as its honestly one of the best buys I've made - no more worrying about losing or dropping things.

Paula
