Bit About Kate
Kate has been riding for almost 15 years and currently competes in the hunter ring with her Hanoverian gelding Breadwinner. “Bambino” is the inspiration for many of the products on the site.
4. HERD OF ZEBRAS is an equestrian lifestyle brand for the zebra in all of us, with a great message and great products – you can’t go wrong with gifting not one but many items you can find on their site. They offer an array of apparel, accessories and more – I’m partial to the brush and tool bag and a pair of sparky socks.

Bit about Herd of Zebras
After years of battling endometriosis, and the negative effects it had on her life Forest Franzoi wanted her life back. So she started with her farm family and brought together a herd of tenacious people who, like her, wanted a community to lean on while promoting positivity in the world. As a herd, they were stronger. And as their bond grew, so did their influence in the equestrian community, which helped them reach far beyond the stall doors.
5. RONNER DESIGN
Ronner Design features collections that incorporate colorful, distinct patterns in a range of apparel and home decor. Combined with the quality materials and attention to detail, Ronner is a must wear from stable to table. I’m a big fan of the quarter zip riding shirts, but all items are stunning and if you need help putting it all together, they offer gift boxes filled with an assortment of some of their customer favorites.

6. MARE MODERN GOODS
The quality products and distinct color combos along with their positive message set Mare Modern Goods up for success. Their mission is to create beautiful, well designed products that tell the story of the human-horse connection. Building community is at the heart of the brand and they look to bring an inspiring voice to the equestrian world.
All of the collections incorporate distinct patterns that standout and complement any horse and rider duo. The saddle pads are stunning and I love the strike claret and evergreen options. P.S. you don’t need to ride a mare to own any of their products.

Bit About Mare Modern Goods
Founder of Mare Modern Goods, Mary Campbell knows first hand how horses transform our lives. As a young teen she struggled with severe anxiety and nothing else could reach her, but her horse did. There are countless people who have been transformed by their experiences with horses and it is undeniable the powerful lessons we can learn through horsemanship. Patience, flexibility, perseverance, responsibility, balance and confidence are just a few.
7. CAVALI CLUB
Looking for a gift to give throughout the year? With so many subscription boxes out there (all different price points and products) – we are huge fans of Cavali Club. For only $59 per seasonal box (a $200 value) – they include one-of-a-kind items for you and your horse. These are high quality items and full-size offerings (no sample sizes). You won’t be disappointed.
Their mission is to introduce equestrians to their new favorite products, while supporting equestrian entrepreneurs in the process.
