Choosing a present for someone who loves horses can be surprisingly difficult. Tack is personal, clothing needs to fit, and the rider you’re buying for may already have very firm ideas about both.
A gift that captures the humour of life with horses is a different proposition. Whether it’s a birthday present, a thank-you for a helpful friend or a small surprise for someone at the yard, Thelwell’s pony cartoons offer plenty of inspiration.
For the friend who always puts the kettle on
Some of the best conversations happen over a cup of tea after a ride, while waiting for the farrier or taking a break from the jobs.
A Thelwell Pony Mug makes a practical present with a familiar sense of humour. Pair it with their favourite tea or biscuits for a thoughtful thank-you to an instructor, a riding companion or the person who looks after your pony when you’re away.
For a creative afternoon
For someone who enjoys colouring as much as riding, the Thelwell Colouring Book and Pony Pencil Tin Gift Set brings the two interests together.
The set includes a colouring book, a reusable pony pencil tin and 12 colouring pencils. It’s an idea for a birthday, a Pony Club prize or an afternoon indoors when the weather has put paid to riding plans.
For a proper handwritten thank-you
A message means a little more when it arrives through the letterbox.
The Thelwell Assorted Pony Notecards come as a set of ten A6 cards with envelopes. They make a useful small gift for someone who likes to keep in touch, or a way to thank a host, instructor or friend yourself.
For the wall at home
If you’re choosing a more substantial present, consider a picture that reflects the recipient’s sense of humour.
Explore our Thelwell prints and look for a scene that reminds you of their pony, their riding adventures or the stories they tell. That personal connection can make choosing the picture part of the pleasure.
Finish with a card chosen for them
A carefully chosen card gives even a modest present a personal touch. Browse our Thelwell greeting cards for a cartoon that will strike a chord.
These ideas work for birthdays, thank-yous and Christmas alike. You don’t need a grand occasion to give a horse-loving friend something that makes them smile.
