We’re now closing in on the holiday season, and everyone’s looking for the perfect gift for their loved ones. If you have a horse lover in your life this Christmas season, we’ve compiled some excellent ideas for things to gift them! So take a gander and find the perfect horsey gift for your stocking.
Shares in a Horse
A novel gift for a horse racing fan is buying them a share in a Racing Horse Syndicate. Syndicates are groups of people who own part of a racing horse, so they can enjoy the experience of ownership without worrying about the expense of training, food and vet bills. Syndicate members receive regular updates on the horse’s training and upcoming events, can visit the horse at its stable, and even gain VIP owner’s access when it participates in races.
If you’re interested in gifting someone a syndicate membership, consider checking out Racing Club. Its range of horses accommodates everyone looking to get involved, with shares starting from just £45 on fixed terms, meaning no hidden fees. Shares from Racing Club make excellent gifts, so don’t miss out.

Raceday Tickets
What better gift for a horse racing enthusiast than tickets to the races? Spending a day at the racetrack in crowds of others just as excited as you is a magical experience, one that would make a special gift, especially if you go together.
Raceday tickets are also surprisingly affordable, especially if you buy in advance. Tickets to some of the most prominent racetracks across the UK, like Cheltenham, Aintree or Newmarket, can start at less than £20 for an adult ticket.
Raceday Hospitality Tickets
This isn’t an option for everyone, but if you’re willing to pay for a luxury experience, you might consider gifting special hospitality tickets to the races. Hospitality tickets are for the horse lover with a taste for the finer things in life, like private boxes and exclusive restaurant access.
It’s one thing to make a trip to the track but another altogether to experience it in the height of luxury. Booking hospitality tickets for your loved one could be a gift like no other, providing what could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Tickets for smaller events will prove more affordable, but bear in mind that most of these tickets will be expensive.
Riding Lessons
Perhaps an underappreciated gift idea for a horse lover is riding lessons. Taking a turn around the paddock isn’t an activity limited to children. Anyone in your life with an interest in horses and racing could appreciate a go at riding lessons, and a session or two definitely won’t break the bank.
Pricing will vary depending on the age group and location of the school (schools in urban areas will be more expensive), but a single session of 45-60 minutes will go for £50 or so. If you have a bit more cash to splash on this loved one, you could even sign them up for a beginner’s course over multiple weeks. Shop around to find a school near you and at reasonable prices.
