Equestrian Charms from Show Stable Artisans

Starting a charm bracelet creates a timeless keepsake that will always be in style. We still have ours from childhood and it’s so fun to wear and remember the story behind each individual piece.

The sweetest charms we’ve seen are available at Show Stable Artisans. Check out the “charming” realism on this little paddock boot, body brush, stable blanket, and wheelbarrow (shown above).  There’s also bell boots, corgis, ribbons,  sitrrups, and more!

Celebrate one of America’s most precious national treasures – the wild mustang – with The Freedom Collection by Horseworship.

Designed by Horseworship proprietress Pamela Robins and featuring the fine art photography of Kimerlee Curyl, each piece in the collection benefits the Return To Freedom Wild Horse Sanctuary.

We love the  Pure Spirits Long Sleeve White Burnout Thermal, featuring a beautiful mare and her foal.  The pair are originally from the Sheldon Refuge Removal and today they are both forever protected and can be found roaming the large hills at the Return to Freedom Wild Horse Sanctuary, where this photo was taken.

Horseworship recently celebrated the Freedom collection at the opening reception for a showing of Curyl’s photography at the Green Cube Gallery in Laguna Beach, California, where guests reveled in the beauty of  the majestic mustang while helping to preserve their place on the land.

Want to share in the celebration and help spread the word? Wear the shirt and share the message! Shop the collection and Horseworship will give free shipping (enter code DGFREESHIP) on orders through December 17.

PONY Belt from Deux Chevaux

From Palm Beach to Pony Finals, the best dressed pony pilots will be sporting Deux Chevaux’s new PONY belt.

Hansa Rideable Shetland Pony, $499

When only the very best for your wee-questrian will do… Hansa’s Rideable Shetland Pony is not your average stuffed animal.

This jumbo-sized brown and white paint, like all Hansa’s ponies, is handcrafted to be a three dimensional portrait, including a hand-cut coat and realistically sculpted musculature. This is a large toy horse created to last a lifetime and, with a metal internal frame that can hold up to 150 lbs, can be enjoyed throughout the years by children and adults alike.

The Shetland pony stands 40.0″L x 10.5″W x 37.0″H. And if that’s not quite big enough for you, Hansa also makes a 4 foot tall stuffed Clydesdale!

Bruder Mercedes Benz Sprinter Horse Transporter, $47

The Mercedes Benz Sprinter Horse Transporter by Bruder Toys is by far the most realistic children’s play lorry we could find.

One horse is included, and he can be loaded into the van using the ramp, with lattices for safe loading -of course! Once inside, the transporter features an ample sized box with adjustable partition and two feed troughs.

Opening doors, profiled tires, and a front-mount equipment adapter round out the features on this German-made toy.

Our only word of caution: beware of raising expectations. By 16, your young equestrian will be wanting the real thing!

Dimensions 17.9″ L x 6.7″ W x 8.7″ H. Suitable for ages 3 and up (per manufacturer).

Asmar All Weather Rider, $320

From BC-based Asmar Equestrian, the All Weather Rider Jacket is a special gift any rider would love.

The gorgeous, tailored silhouette looks great on all shapes, but the versatility of this award-winning coat is what equestrians adore. Designed to flatter and function both on and off the horse, the All Weather Rider features front and back zippered gussets that reveal a “skirt” of fabric to fit over the saddle.

When not in use, the skirts simply snap into place and you’v'e got a warm, waterproof, windproof, and breathable three-quarter length jacket – perfect for long days around the stable or the pony mom shuttling to an from the barn.

Because designer Nicole Asmar is a Canadian cold-weather rider herself, the Asmar All Weather Rider includes many other smart features, including a removable hood, reflective piping at the rear waist, zippered pockets, and inside ribbed sleeve cuffs. The pill-resistant fabric sheds horsehair and dirt, but the jacket is machine washable too.

Available in seven rich jewel-tone shades: Red, Plum, Navy, Charcoal, Camel, Brown Plaid, and Black.
