Kristina is all about the matchy matchy vibes coming from the LeMieux Juniper Collection full of matching saddle pads and ear bonnets.They make perfect stocking stuffers!

I’ve been here for quite a while and have just about one of everything we sell that I can use. There are two things I can’t ever seem to have enough of though. If you guessed saddle pads and bell boots, you’d be 100% correct! Can you ever really have enough saddle pads? As for bell boots, if you follow us on social media, you’ve seen numerous posts of my boys and their shoe and bell boot flinging shenangans to last a lifetime.

But when it comes to gifting, there are a few things I just wouldn’t buy for myself that I’d love for Santa to drop under my Christmas tree. First would be a large custom tack trunk with bandage lid. It’s one of those things that I think about but can’t quite talk myself into it. If you’ve ever helped a friend load one into our out of a trailer, you know why. Even empty they are HEAVY, but they are SO pretty and the good ones really keep all your gear organized. So for now, I will stick with my Stanley and with it’s custom cover.

The other piece I’ve been pining over for the last few years is the Tucker Tweed Wellington Wristlet in brown with the hair on leather trim. I love how it can hold everything for a quick run into the store, or in my trunk at a horse show without being bulky. Phone, Keys, Cash, Cards, ID, Lip gloss, Sunglasses – DONE.

Not to be left out, I’m a huge fan of the base layers from Deinhardt Designs. I LOVE her original artwork that she turns into prints. This season she has a deliglhtful print with a grey horse playing among trees on a deep navy blue base called, Jenya. There’s nothing prettier than a clean grey and this shirt embodies that statement. It looks great alone, under a sweater or under a vest.

That wraps up this years staff picks. Looking for more inspiration? Check out our Ultimate Ariat Gift Guide or our list of the 30 Best Gifts for Horse Lovers.
