1. Clothing

If your mom loves to look her best while she is at the barn, consider gifting her clothing that matches her style such as a new pair of boots, breeches, jeans, riding gloves, vests, fleece, or a coat.

Here are some additional details that you may want to consider when choosing clothing for an equestrian enthusiast:

  • The type of riding that she does. If she does dressage, she will need different clothing than if she does trail riding.
  • The weather conditions. If she rides in all weather, she will need clothing that is both stylish and functional.
  • Her personal style. Some equestrian enthusiasts prefer a more traditional look, while others prefer trendier styles.

3. Gift Certificate to Her Favorite Shop

This is a wonderful way to let your mom choose her own gift. She will appreciate being able to pick out something she really wants, and it will give her a chance to get something she might not have otherwise purchased for herself. This is also a wonderful way to get something meaningful, quickly. If you are pressed for time, combining a gift certificate with the right card can mean a lot.

Practical items like grooming tools, first aid supplies, multi-tools, or other things routinely used at the barn can make a great gift for Mother’s Day. These items can show your mom that you appreciate her hard work and dedication to caring for her animals.

  • Practical items might include brushes, combs, first aid kits for animals, work boots, bags and gloves are also great ideas.
