There is such a diverse variety of shapes, colors & types in the modern horse world and the list of breeds found worldwide is virtually endless.

Here is a great selection of books with info about many of the different horse breeds along with their characteristics, origins, temperaments and lots & lots of pictures. For each book I’ve listed where they can be purchased on Amazon and (where available) a peek inside the book.

Through the past few months I have been throwing out gift ideas every Monday. Yes, I know today is Friday…but it’s last minute time. Don’t worry, it’s not too late to get something for those left on your list.

I’ve prepared a collection of all of my gift ideas for 2009 into one handy post, (and even added a few extras) there is something for everyone here.

Don’t panic, you still have plenty of time to make the holidays a success & I’ve got hundreds of ideas to share.

Without further ado, here is a long list of ideas for all types of horse lovers.

No matter where we are, most horse lovers like to see reminders of their obsession…and truly, nothing is sacred. When it comes to decor, adding horsey touches is a fun way to extend your passion into your daily grind.

This is a collection of items found in most bathrooms with a fun equine theme. I tried to go for simple and understated, but there is some wacky in there too.

Whether you want one or two accent pieces, or every part of your bathroom to reflect horses, you are sure to find something you want here.

One thing most equestrians definitely need is more bags, can we ever have enough for all of our stuff? Here are some fun & colorful duffels, totes & purses with one common theme…horses.

Whether you need to carry your keys, your wallet, your work, your groceries or even your boots, there is a bag for you here.

If there is anything horsewomen love more than shoes, it’s bags & I managed to find a whole post worth of vibrant and fun bags for the horse lovers of the world.

Each bag has a link to where it can be found on Amazon and alternative & closer looks where they were available.

Sometimes horse jewelry can be a bit over-the-top, however there are always exceptions to the rule. I did some searching to come up with some of the coolest horse jewelry I could find.

Of course there is always the zodiac ponies if you are looking for something whimsical & fun.

Perhaps I went overboard, cute stuff just kept jumping out at me, so I kept adding it to the list (can you tell what a necklace junkie I am?)

As always every piece has a link to where it can be purchased on Amazon and a closer look at the product where available.

Perhaps some of the most passionate horse lovers are the young ones (which is probably why their toys are the best), so I devoted a whole post to horse gift ideas for kids.

From rain boots to Barbie to Shrinky Dinks, there is something that will appeal to almost any youthful horse fan (and perhaps some of the older ones too).

For each one there is a link to where it can be found on Amazon and a closer look at the product where available, enjoy!

Perhaps one of my favorite toys growing up were my Breyer horses & I can admit to hours spent creating felt leg wraps and yarn halters for them.

Back then there weren’t nearly as many cool options for models and a DIY attitude kept them looking flashy. These days it seems they have thought of everything, from travel wraps to show jumps to trailers.

There are tons of fun accessories and miniature equipment for those who still enjoy a model horse or two.

Here are some of the cool Breyer accessories I could find, all things I would loved to have had as a child.

As the holidays draw near, I have been throwing out gift ideas once a week. This Monday morning I thought I’d put together a post with a variety of fun gift options for horse people.

Some of them practical, some of them whimsical, you are sure to find something for the horse lover in your life.

For each option I have provided a link to their Amazon page and a closer view where available.

For those of us who love horses, it is important to surround ourselves with their likeness no matter where we are. This simple fact makes it easy to find gifts for horse lovers.

Horse theme gifts can be a tad over-the-top, so I’ve taken care to choose those things I think are timeless and cool, (with a little whimsical thrown in for good measure).

Today it’s all about horses in the kitchen, here are a number of horsey items in a variety of styles. For each I’ve provided a link to their Amazon page and a closer view where available.

Another weekly gift post and these may be my all time favorites. They are the cutest little Zodiac Ponies you’ve ever seen, each one with it’s own charm.

The ponies are made of sterling silver and each one is designed to convey the unique personality of all 12 signs of the zodiac.

Here the complete yearly cycle. I’ve provided the dates associated with each sign, a link to where each sign can be purchased on Amazon and a closer view where available.
