Great Grips 6 Piece Brush Set with Bag
Whether the equestrian you’re shopping for has a horse of their own or rides a local barn’s lesson horses, they’ll appreciate a set of their very own brushes.

Just add elbow grease!
This is an especially good horse gift for tweens who have their own horse or pony or who ride one horse consistently. As a leather safety halter, it’s designed with a replaceable leather crown piece that will break if the horse is trapped, panics, or pulls back. Unlike other leather halters, it also has nylon webbing that comes in a variety of fun colors like Multi Neon, Turquoise, Hot Pink, and more.
Are you shopping for a horse gift for a tween that you don’t know that well? For situations where sizing and other details may be hard to get, C4 Belts are a great present. These belts offer fully customizable sizing and are cut to size by the end user. Parents have the option of leaving additional length so the child can grow into the belt as well. They come in a wide variety of patterns and colors; many have equestrian-inspired sayings such as “Heels Down.”

Equine Couture Children’s Pull-On Winter Breeches
The holidays are the perfect time of year to buy the horse lover in your family a pair of winter breeches. Pull-on breeches are even better as the sizing tends to be more flexible.

TinHaul Big Kids Cacstitch Boots
Another must-have for when you go to the rodeo or the county fair, these TinHaul boots are a great equestrian-inspired gift for the young Western rider in your family.

Kelly Herd Small Star Earrings
These beautiful sterling silver earrings are the perfect horse gift for tweens who love to dress up. A sterling silver frame surrounds delicate cubic zirconia stones in the shape of a Western star.

Wear them to add a touch of glitter to any outfit- both in the show ring and around town.
Haas Eqclusive creates brushes designed to bring out the best in every color of horse. Each brush set was designed for a specific coat color. For example, the chestnut brush set was created for the fluffier coat that these horses tend to have and to remove the dust that gets trapped deep beneath the hair. We also have a universal shining pack available for the rider that cares for more than one horse.
