Stylish Shopping for Trendy Teens

Finding the perfect gift for a loved one can be a challenge and if you're looking to surprise your teenager this is no exception.  I'd like to think my many years of shopping (market research obviously!) have helped me to develop my skills at putting gifts together and hopefully my friends would agree as I pride myself on my present buying! Therefore to help ease your shopping experience I have put together our range of Horsey Gifts for Teens are here are a few of the highlights...

Gorgeous Gloves

One of our top selling products, the Carrots Equestrian women's horse riding gloves are suitable for teens, adults and children 10 years and over, fitting a wide variety of hand sizes due to the four way stretch fabric.  These gloves feature leather reinforcements at the fingers and thumb to provide excellent rein grip and durability.  Tried and tested we love these riding gloves and the wide range of designs means there is a pair suited for every teenager's style. 

Horse Hoodies

Us horsey girls love to look stylish when riding and these horsey hoodies will suit fashionista's who love to have a bit of fun. Great with jods for riding or with jeans and leggings for mucking out, another best seller for the teenage horse gift. 

Bath, Body and Beauty

Every teenager loves to get glammed up but then again who doesn't when as an equestrian you spend so much time picking poo and getting sweating hot in your jods!  The love of all things equine can even be part of your teenagers beauty regime with our lovely wash bags and bath and body goodies.  

Happy Horse  

For teenagers who are lucky enough to have their own horse or loan pony, the Bentley horse grooming kits make fabulous presents.  Bright and beautiful and practical too, our wide range of designs means you can pick your teenagers favourite colour to match their other equestrian equipment. 

Strenuous Studying

When away from the yard teenagers work extremely hard for continuous exams and coursework deadlines.  To brighten up these testing times why not introduce our horse stationery to wish them luck and success in their studies. 

Happy Shopping and remember to just give us a shout if you get stuck and need some help xx 

Show Season!

Well what an amazing and inspiring Badminton Horse Trials this weekend! Sadly I didn't manage to visit the event but I was gripped to the TV - never before have I seen so much action across country! With so many of us getting back out competing now - and okay we are probably not tackling the dizzy heights of the Badminton Cross Country Course - but we still want out horses to be turned out in tip top condition.  So here are a few goodies from our new show season collection to help you and your horse shine in the show ring.

To get your horse looking their best, preparation is key and the Supreme Products range of horse grooming goodies will help you with this process.  The Supreme Products Blue Horse Shampoo is great to add shine and colour definition to all coats where as we find the Supreme Products Stain Remover particularly useful for greys and coloured when tackling grass or stable stains.  Use in combination with the stain remover spray to maintain a clean gleaming coat for the show ring.

For plaiting and quarter marks, the Supreme Products Easy Plait and Quarter Marking Spray are another two handy show essentials making your show preparation a little easier and stop any last minute panics on show day! 

 

To add that extra shine to your equine we have a range of sprays including the popular Absorbine Showsheen, the original show ring shine, hair polish and detangler for horses and ponies.  The formula even contains calming Jasmine and Sandalwood to help you and your horse perform at your best.  Plus the Kevin Bacon Liquid Hoof Dressing will give a stunning show ring appearance whilst being great for your horses hooves.  

Once you and your horse are prepared for the day ahead remember to pack all your essentials into your horse lorry in case you need them on arrival.  Be sure to include extra plaiting bands, thread and hoof picks as well as other little extras.  We also love the brilliant Wacky Practicals Foldaway Bucket which stores flat then easily expands to hold 7 litres so your horse can happily have a drink.  This makes a brilliant gift for a horse owner who is often out competing.

 

Happy competing and good luck!     

Horsey Gift Best Sellers!

We often get asked about our best sellers and we find this varies substantially from month to month! It makes we wonder if people of different star signs have different tastes hence the change in present buying.  So we thought we'd keep you up to date with a Best Sellers Blog every month or two to showcase our top selling products.  Here are just a few of the current favourites...

Both the pink and grey hat cover and coordinating horse riding gloves have sold especially well  during the past few weeks. Of course myself and my friend Loraine are taking full credit to their popularity due to us sporting these gloves when we have been out riding!  

For children the new Melissa and Doug Take Along Show Stable has sold very well and is being loved by little pony lovers across the country.

We love our Bentley Slip Not Grooming Kits and the Navy and Mint as well as the Navy and Raspberry colour ways remain our best sellers.  These are great for shows or day to day use and make a lovely present for a horse owner of any age.

The Horse and Pony Treats tin is another innovative new product we have recently sourced that has proved incredibly popular - both with horse owners and their equine friends!

We recently sourced the Millie Green range and have sold lots of this brand - the best seller of the range at the moment is the A5 Horsies Notepad.  We are pleased to say we will also be expanding this collection and we are just awaiting the new stock to be manufactured! The cute print will be available as wash bags, aprons and purses too. 

For a little extra to finish off your horsey gift you have been loving the cute Horse Pencils with Toppers as well as the always popular Light up Horse Pen (a firm favourite in our office too!).

Many of your have also been taking advantage of our horse greetings cards and gift wrap service to complete your horse present shopping so we have been getting plenty of gift wrapping practice over the past few weeks!

We hope you all has a great Bank Holiday weekend - lots of you have enjoyed shopping at The Horse Diva so we best sign off and get those orders packed!

Have a great week x

Mini Horse Divas!

Last week we bought you our Horse Diva summer style and as promised we have since expanded our children's horse riding range.  We have some beautiful designs of T shirts available for little ones to wear the yard and also out and about with shorts or leggings during the summer time.  Many designs are just £7.95 each so a bargain horsey gift for a little pony lover.  All we need now is the sunshine to come back (please?!).  Here are just a few of our favourites...

We also love the new range of embroidered horse riding clothing - these two hoodies feature the Cookie and Cross Country designs and are great for children to wear whilst keeping their arms covered when horse riding. 

For older children and younger teens we have also selection a fun, modern range which we hope you will love as much as we do! Choose from the Horse Crazy polo shirt and hoodie or the Flash t shirt and coordinating zip top.

Of course we have coordinating horse riding hat covers, gloves and socks to go with all of our equestrian clothing - just see our website for our top suggestions. And remember to just drop us an email if you want any further advice - we are more than happy to help you put together your own Horse Diva style.
