What’s a good gift for a horse person?

I’ve been at a barn for five years, and they have done so much for me. I am moving my horse to a new barn in a few days, and I would like to thank the owners for everything they’ve done for me. What’s a good sentimental goodbye gift for the barn owners? They have lots of their own horses

I have a theory: horse people wear clothing with pictures of horses on them, not because they buy that kind of thing for themselves, but because they're too broke to shop and that's what people keep giving them!! So... not that. ;)

Depending on the person, yes, something commissioned of their actual horses, or something not related to horses that they can treat themselves with in a way that they never normally get to!

Tasteful barn decor can also be nice! You know, those pretty things we all look at in the tack stores but never want to splurge on. If you know them well, you probably know their taste a little. A nice wrought iron Welcome sign with horses, a nice bridle rack or a rack to hang riding helmets/hats. Something they will treasure, but that will also be useful!

Also, work gloves if you want something more generic. You can never have too many of those!

A gift certificate to a horsehair jewelry designer, yeah I am little biased;)
Seriously though, many horse people have bags of tails stored away from beloved lost horses. Help them keep the memories in a beautiful way.

I like everyone’s ideas so I agree with everything said above!!

Gift card (to a tack shop..somewhere to eat..)
A horse training journal.
Custom engraved horse brushes or a grooming set/grooming bag.
gift basket or gift box.
horse riding socks or a riding shirt.
Candles?
Horse tumbler?
Hats
Horse artwork? (I went to hobby lobby the other day and they had sooo many cool horse paintings!!)
Maybe bath/shower stuff like bath bombs or something?
Horse jewelry?
Idk there’s so many things you could do!

If it were me, I would probably enjoy a gift card to a nice place to eat.

What are the B/O's like? Are they a couple? Are they just business partners? I think that would guide my choice of a gift.
