Christmas is just around the corner, and although we know you can never have too many saddle pads, we thought you might like a bit of variety to share as hints for your loved ones, or inspired gifts for your friends and family.
HKM Keep Warm Heating Socks Unisex
Who knew you could heat your feet while you are riding? This top pick is one of this year’s big sellers at RB Equestrian, at £42.95, they aren’t a budget pair of socks – but I’m sure lots of us would pay a lot more to not have cold feet.
Perfect for wearing with wellies, country boots or even under your jeans, these socks are not only heated but are also soft and comfy!
Available at RB Equestrian.
Sealskinz Gloves
Recommended by lots of EquiTeam members, these waterproof gloves are worth every penny – even suitable for removing ice from water troughs, the paid most recommended are the Waterproof All Weather Glove with Fusion Control™
There are several cheaper versions available, but these are sure to keep your hands warm and dry: Available at Sealskinz.
Sporting Equestrian Quarter Zip Unisex
Whether you’re in the saddle, walking the dog or simply out and about in the countryside, the Sporting Equestrian Quarter Zips will have you looking great but feeling comfortable. Designed in Buckinghamshire, these jumpers have been through endless testing to make sure everything is perfect. From a tailored hem to super soft materials, you won’t want to take these off!
Different designs available in Navy or Grey from RB Equestrian.
Sweet subscription – need we say more?
Something that created a lot of chat during last year’s advent calendar was this sweety subscription service – we all thought it was a fabulous idea.
What could be better than a delicious treat straight through your letterbox every month!
Available from Sweetzy.
EquiTeam Baseball Cap
New for 2024, the EquiTeam baseball cap is not just available in Navy – but also in Sky Blue and Purple for those who are a bit more adventurous in their colour choices! Complete with a Velcro adjusting strap at the back, they perfect wear for mucking out, running or enjoying a walk.
A name plate for your stable door
For something a bit different, a name plaque for the stable door can be a subtle but thoughtful gift. Etsy has a range of them to suit all tastes and budgets, but this oak one caught our eye: available at Etsy.
One of Liz's favourite gifts of the year
They might not be for everyone – but Liz was totally made up to receive these from one of our brilliant campers –Horsey Odd Socks! Yes that’s right – six brilliant horse themed odd socks from Giddy Up.

The Art of Brilliance
We loved Dr Andy Cope aka Dr. Happy when he joined us for a podcast earlier in 2024 and couldn’t get enough of his energy and brilliant outlook.
His attitude to life is so inspiring and a real joy to listen to, so why wouldn’t you want to share that with your friends?
Dr Andy has a range of books available for children, teenagers and adults as well as inspirational posters and a 2025 calendar.
We really love the adult book – The Art of Being Brilliant is pure genius and is sure to inspire the 2percenter inside anyone you gift it to.
