Gifts for pony-mad children
Children love presents – and as we all know, there are plenty of occasions to give our little ones presents! Whether it’s for a birthday, Christmas or just because, pony-mad children can’t get enough of horse themed presents! In our guide you’ll find inspiration and cute gift ideas for young riders that are guaranteed to please!
Children who love horses and riding usually collect everything that has to do with their beloved hobby. If you want to give a little horse fan a gift, you should consider their interests and age. We have compiled the most popular gift ideas for horse girls and horse boys according to theme and give you the appropriate age recommendations so that you are guaranteed to find the perfect gift:
Children’s riding wear & accessories
Suitable for which age? All children who are already actively riding – i.e. from late primary school age to older teens.
Children outgrow their clothes very quickly. Especially at nursery and primary school age, parents have to dress their children anew almost every new term. That’s when children’s riding wear is in high demand as a gift idea, not only for the children, but also for their parents. Ask the parents for the child’s current size and favourite colour and easily put together a coherent outfit in the online shop.
A stylish outfit with just a few clicks
In our online shop, you will find the most beautiful outfits for children and you will be able to order a colourful outfit as a gift in just a few clicks! And if it doesn’t fit or you don’t like it, you can make use of your right of return and exchange.
Budget-friendly – cute accessories to give as a gift
If it’s just a small gift, cool accessories for the riding outfit are always a great present. Cool summer caps, warm scarves or hats for the winter are always a great gift idea. A particular eye-catcher and especially popular with children are colourful riding knee-high socks with striking designs! Or how about a new pair of children’s riding gloves? These are also available in child-friendly and colourful designs. If the child you want to give a gift to has his or her own horse or a horse for loan or share, cute horse equipment is also a great gift idea: a colourful headcollar and leadrope set or a grooming box – equipped with brush, body brush, curry comb, hoof pick and so on – always goes down well with little horse lovers.
Toys
Suitable for which age? From infancy to primary school age.
There are some toys that are a necessity in a child’s bedroom!
Besides the absolute classics, the toy market offers many gift ideas for children of all ages. Babies, for example, are encouraged to grasp, cuddle and gaze with soft snuggly cloths. While babies and toddlers up to 3 years of age tend to play for themselves, the phase in which children also play together begins when they enter primary school. The perfect gift to give is a board game or toy that can also be played with in pairs, such as a horse lead for playing „little horses“ in the garden or a card game.
Schleich Figurines
Suitable for which age? Approx. from 3 to 10 years
The Schleich brand stands for educationally valuable toys that give children plenty of scope for their imagination. The predominantly animal play figures are durable, accurate in detail and hand-painted. Due to their robustness and high quality, the Schleich animals can usually even be passed on and played with across generations. The large assortment of horse figures invites pony-mad children to build their own stable. They are perfect collector’s items and because of their variety, Schleich animals make perfect gifts for children. Even though Schleich sets the minimum age at 3 years, the little plastic animals can be played with earlier under adult supervision. They are bite, scratch and saliva resistant and many toddlers love to touch and feel the animals using all their senses. For older children who enact complex stories with their Schleich animals, the play-sets are an especially desirable gift! The large horse farm, the vet mobile or even the Schleich play rug complete the Schleich world within a child’s bedroom and encourage children to have new adventures with their Schleich horses!
Play ideas with Schleich figurines
There are plenty of play ideas with the popular Schleich animals. With the horse figures from Schleich, older children can get to know the different horse breeds, e.g. in the form of a matching game. Just print out pictures of the different horse breeds and let the child find the matching Schleich horse. A great idea for the summer is to freeze the Schleich figure in a container of water so that the child has to „free“ the animal from the block of ice, e.g. using a spray bottle with warm water (for younger children) or a hammer (for older children).
Cuddly toys
Suitable for which age? From birth to approx. 10 years
There are children who can never have enough cuddly toys. Others, on the other hand, have only had one cuddly friend since birth, to whom they remain loyal throughout their entire childhood. For little horsey lovers, our cuddly Horslys are the perfect gift idea, and they’re also perfect for collecting, as new cute Horslys are being added all the time. Whether it’s the Dreamy Horsly with pyjamas and a sleeping mask, the Horsly Princess with a little crown and pink bow or the Horsly Santa with a Christmas hat – the cuddly soft friends are guaranteed to put a smile on every child’s face.
Cuddly toys for newborns
If you want to give a soft toy to a newborn, you should choose a soft and small one with short fibres so that it can be grasped with baby hands and no hair can be swallowed. Cuddly toys are light, snug and easy to grasp. In addition, they can usually be washed in the washing machine without any problems.

Creative ideas
Suitable for which age? Children from primary school age up to teenagers.
There is nothing better than experiencing something special together! Most children’s bedrooms are already overflowing with toys anyway. So how about planning a day of „horsey“ adventures together for your pony-mad child? For example, a joint visit to a big horse show or an horse fair, or a cosy horse-themed movie night with snacks? Or how about baking delicious biscuits in the shape of horses and decorating them elaborately? You can find our recipe with guaranteed success in our homemade guide.

A nice gesture for a birthday or Christmas would be to buy the child some riding lessons. This is also financially beneficial for the parents and provides a lot of pleasure long-term. If you ride yourself and the child is already very confident in the saddle, a joint horse trek would also be a nice gift idea.
Popular souvenirs
Suitable for which age? Something for every age group.
Children love to receive presents – and since us adults enjoy seeing children’s eyes light up so much, we usually give them a little something as a gift. Small, inexpensive gifts are often in high demand for an advent calendar to fill yourself or as a gift for a goodie bag at a child’s horse-themed birthday party. In our online shop you will find small gift ideas under £10 for pony-mad children.
