From bracelets to backpacks: Christmas gifts for Hobby Horse riders

Hobby Horsing is not only about the horse. Riders also have things they take with them every day to training, competitions or school. If your child already has a horse, this year you can give them a gift that is just for them: an accessory in the colors of their horse's tack, a piece of jewelry, a training bag or LarDen sportswear. Below you will find our gift ideas for riders, from small stocking stuffers to bigger presents.

How to choose a gift for a rider

Paracord bracelets in the colors of the tack

The bracelets are made of paracord, a strong cord, and come in one universal size. There are eight colors: Rosemary, Princess, Eleganza, Nature Blue, Maroon, Orange, Turquoise and Chocolate. Seven of them share their name and colors with our rope sets, for example the Rosemary bracelet and the Rosemary rope set. That way the rider can wear a bracelet that matches their horse's tack.

LarDen keychains and a horse-shaped key ring

Riders clip a keychain or key ring onto their keys, bag or backpack and see it every day, so it makes a nice gift on its own or alongside a bigger present:

• LarDen round keychain: a double-sided round keychain with a reflective element. Clipped to a school bag or backpack, the reflective detail helps the rider stay visible on the way home from practice after dark.
• LarDen strap keychain: a double-sided strap-shaped keychain, also with a reflective element. It works on keys, a bag or a backpack.
• Horse-shaped key ring: a stylish key ring for keys or a handbag. It comes in gray and brown.

A crossbody bag for the little things

The Crossbody is a small neoprene bag from the LarDen sports collection. It has a zipper and an adjustable strap, and it holds everything you would otherwise carry in your pockets. It is handy when the rider wants their things close by without lugging a big bag around. It is worn across the body, so the hands stay free, everything is within reach and the things inside stay organized. Younger and older riders alike love it, and it goes with streetwear as well as dressier outfits.

Pendant necklaces from a limited edition

The necklaces are part of the Bijou jewelry collection, created to celebrate LarDen's fifth anniversary. We designed them with local jeweler Růžičková. Each pendant is laser engraved. The collection is limited both in time and in the number of pieces made. You can choose from two materials and two designs:

• 316L surgical steel, with the LarDen logo or the horse-on-a-stick symbol,
• 925 sterling silver, with the LarDen logo or the horse-on-a-stick symbol.

LarDen sports bag and backpack

Our backpacks and bags are part of the LarDen sports collection. They keep the horse out of sight and protect it on the way to practice or competitions.

• The LarDen sports bag is made of neoprene, which is flexible, durable and water-resistant. It is soft to the touch, easy to wipe clean and keeps its shape even with frequent use. It has pockets for small items, a side pocket for shoes or dirty clothes, an adjustable strap and a luggage strap for easier travel. Besides the classic version, it also comes in pink.
• The LarDen backpack is a neoprene backpack for a Hobby Horse and for everyday use. The horse's stick is held in two places, so it does not move while you walk. The backpack has padded, adjustable straps, a padded back, reflective details on the straps and an outer bottle pocket. Inside there is a phone pocket and another zippered pocket, and you can clip your keys onto the carabiner.

LarDen sports T-shirts and sweatshirt

From the LarDen sports collection you can also give the rider training clothes. The short-sleeve sports T-shirts are made of a fabric with spandex for comfort and freedom of movement. They work for sports and everyday wear. Choose the LarDen Pink sports T-shirt, the LarDen Premium sports T-shirt or the LarDen Active Black T-shirt.

The LarDen sweatshirt is a versatile long-sleeve zip-up made of a special fabric. It is designed for sports and everyday wear, so the rider will wear it in the winter months too. You will find the whole range in T-shirts and sweatshirts.
