December is right around the corner, and your favorite horse-loving friends and family have been good all year. They deserve something special to celebrate who they are and let them know that they are always on the nice list! So how do you choose the perfect gift? At Schneiders, we have exactly what they want.
Before you come and shop with us, it's important to know a few things about the horse lover in your life. To really wow them this holiday season, choose something that will show them that you really know them. After all, when a gift is specific, It shows how much thought you've put into it!
First, know what discipline they ride. Do they ride Western or English? Do they compete, ride for pleasure, or both? Do they ride the trails often, or do they ride in the ring or arena?
For horse owners, buying something specific for their horse is always a win. What is their horse's name and/or breed? Do they often talk about things that their horse needs on the regular? What about treats their horse enjoys?
Finally, know their favorite color. What colors does their horse wear? What color are their blankets, wraps, or saddle covers? What is their rider’s favorite color?
Once you're armed with all the information you need, it's time to do our favorite thing besides riding... shop!
